Pet care experience

Bryce Canyon Pooch Retreat

I am 20 miles from Bryce Canyon National Park and 45 miles from the Eastern entrance to Zion National Park, where dogs are not allowed on the fabulous trails. I offer daycare or overnight boarding for only 1 dog at a time (or 2 from the same family) so you don't have to worry about negative interactions with other dogs during your pet's stay. **I can pickup or drop off your pet(s) for a fee if that is more convenient for you.** I am retired but an active animal-lover and am available 24/7 to make your dog's stay safe, fun and secure. You can rest assured your pet will have as much fun as you will on your vacation. I have no other animals or people to distract me from caring for your pets. I will text or email videos and photos of your pups enjoying their vacay multiple times each day so you can enjoy your trip or workday worry-free.

Barbara was great with Milo. Milo really liked staying with her and she even took him for a ride which he enjoys. I would highly recommend Barbara and would definitely use her again.

Barbara was so kind and flexible! It gave us a lot of piece of mind knowing our dog was well taken care of while we explored the national park. She was understanding of our concerns and made sure to update us on how he was doing while we were away. 10/10 experience.

Barbara was wonderful! So friendly and accommodating. She watched our 13 year old beagle mix while we spent the day hiking in Bryce canyon! Our pup was very comfortable with Barbara from first minute they met, so it was a stress free day for us and our pup, So glad we found Barbara! Will definitely book with her again!

Schedule

I'm retired and home for your all of pet's stay. I stay in the house with older, less energetic dogs that prefer less or no walks, just potty breaks, and provide at least 2 walks a day for more energetic ones. Dogs love to explore my 2 acre lot (on leash) and enjoy chilling out on my large fenced outdoor deck.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large unfenced yard so I always keep pets on a leash for potty breaks or walks. I live in a rural area where there is little traffic and many roads and trails for daily exercise.

A typical day

I typically take dogs on at least 2 walks a day, always on paths where there is no interaction with other dogs, people or animals off-leash.

I welcome any house-trained, well-behaved dogs over 1 year that are spayed or neutered. I have a lot of experience with older dogs that need a quiet stay plus energetic dogs that prefer lots of exercise.
