Availability

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.

Barbara C.'s Neighborhood

Bryce Canyon Pooch Retreat

Pet care experience

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 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!

Barbara was absolutely wonderful! This was our first time ever leaving our dog, Donte, with someone other than family or close friends, so we were understandably nervous. From the moment we met her, we knew she was the perfect person. Her kindness and warmth immediately put us at ease. She was incredibly accommodating with our last-minute booking and took amazing care of Donte. We received so many photos and updates throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and truly cared for the entire time. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family and keep you updated every step of the way, I can’t recommend Barbara enough. We’re so grateful we found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!

Barbara was wonderful with our pup. She was so thoughtful and caring and we were able to enjoy our day hiking around Bryce Canyon knowing our dog was being well looked after. So glad we found her. Thank you Barbara!
