Big fenced yard, home all day, 2 ca

Pet care experience

Hi I'm Babs, I've loved dogs my whole life. When I was a baby My dog's name was my first word. She taught me how to walk and drink from bowls lol. When I had nightmares I would crawl into the crate and snuggle up with her for the night. She meant everything to me. I love the feeling you get when you come home and there is a wagging tail and a happy pup just so excited to see you. It's the greatest feeling, especially after a rough day. I love all dogs big and small, young and old. They're sweet and always make me laugh. I would love to care for your doggy while you're away, because with me they have a new best friend. I have a chronic illness so the puppy love would be very positive in my life, thankyou for the opportunity and I hope to hear from you soon!

I have a Boston terrier, and booked Barbara to board him overnight. I did advise her that my dog gets excited and will calm down after a bit. Well 2.5 hours later she sends me a message stating that my dog cannot stay the night and I had to come and get him. I was on the road Andrade to drive 2.5 hours back to get to him. When we picked him up he was sleeping. Yes my dog gets a bit hyper, but he doesn’t keep at it very long, this is something that any experienced dog handler should be able to handle. I would not recommend her, as she handled the situation very unprofessionally. Her house also had a strong smoke/cigarette order, so much that we had to bathe my dog when we got home.
