Information Barb D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know as much as possible you care to share about your dog. This includes: - Their normal routine - Pets personality - How they interact with other dogs and humans - Do they have any triggers or anxiety in certain situations - Do they need medication/supplements - Special cues or words you use to communicate with them - Anything I left out that will make your baby feel at home

A typical day

I will take your dog on walks in the neighborhood and to a nearby park to play fetch. When at home, we will play games and have lots of snuggle time. If you're interested, please don't hesitate to drop me a line and we can set up a meet and greet.

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Barb, and I recently moved with my husband from Chicago to Inlet Beach. For the past 30 years, I’ve been a proud pet owner, having cared for dogs, a cat, and even a bunny. Currently, we don’t have any dogs, as we sadly had to say goodbye to our beloved cocker spaniel, Porsche, a few years ago. I miss having a dog around and would love the chance to welcome your furry friend into our home. Rest assured, your pet will be in loving hands and treated like family. I’m a full-time homemaker with a flexible schedule, so your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and as many walks as needed. We live in a spacious house with a fenced backyard, and your pet is more than welcome on the furniture and even the bed. Our neighborhood is very dog-friendly, with parks nearby for walks. Feel free to send me a message if you’d like to chat! PS…I can provide care for dogs up to around 50 lbs.

Such a wonderful experience. Barb takes our pup on long walks and sends great pics to update us. This is our second trip to use her and will definitely be booking again.
