Large or Small - I Love Them All!

Pet care experience

I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Bam Bam. He is a nut-case; the poster child for ADHD in dogs. (Did someone say, "Squirrel?!") But he is lovable none-the-less. I belong to the Russell Rescue, Inc. crowd and have fostered many dogs through them. I have also been a puppy foster for South County Animal Control in San Martin, CA One of my specialties is caring for pregnant mom dogs and their upcoming litters. Did you know that puppies can be litter box trained? I'm currently working from home, part-time with a flexible schedule. Day boarding for dogs available in my yard, by appointment, during the week. Special requests for weekend or overnight boarding for known clients are available on a case-by-case basis. My goal is to make you and your pets life easier. I am willing to travel up to (around) 20-30 miles to care for your pet(s), as we live in a rural area and I get that properties in our community are spread out. I have a secure, fenced yard with lawn, and my own dogs here to make your pup feel more comfortable and at home. I have a crate available if your dog feels more secure napping that way. We have tons of dog toys, will feed your treats, our own, or none, as you request. Our neighborhood is very walkable and daily outings are a part of our schedule!

We use Barbra all the time! She just watched our senior dog for 7 days straight, which is a long time. She made sure he was loved while staying at our house. Everything was in order and our dog wasn’t even interested that we were home. Thank Barbra for being so great!

So grateful to Barbara for accommodating a late Holiday booking! We got to celebrate NYE and know my pup was in good hands. She kept me updated and even sent a couple pictures.

Barbara initiated a free meet & greet session, which was most informative. She was very flexible to suit our timings & provided excellent service. Even when the service type changed, it was accommodated. I would definitely use the services next time.

Barb was great! She was fast at responding and answered all my questions. When I returned home my dogs were happy! A nice bonus was the pics she sent of them while I was gone. I would highly recommend Barb and will definitely book her again.

Information Barbara C. would like to know about your pet

I would love to hear about what your pets normal routine is all about! Any info on likes, dislikes, fears, issues would be helpful to make sure your pet feels comfortable and safe.

A typical day

We live in a very walkable neighborhood and have a grassy area in the backyard for playing, running around, and throwing toys. There are also hiking trails in the hills nearby. In the summer we set up a small pool for water play and cooling off.
