Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dog's home away from home!
We’ve loved and cared for animals our entire lives and have years of hands-on experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and physical needs. That lifelong experience helped us create a home designed specifically for dogs’ safety and comfort, where we care for only one pup at a time so we can give them our full attention. With a fenced yard, lots of supervision, and very little time spent alone, your dog will enjoy a calm, loving environment filled with playtime, cuddles, and personalized care.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Barbara & Dirk are excellent dog sitters. They are very loving to the dogs and very welcoming. Zoey their small Morkie is adorable and very charming. She is a great hostess and plays so nicely with her visitors. My dogs walked right to the front door and were happy to spend the day with Barbara, Dirk and Zoey after meeting them. We are anxious for our next visit and highly recommend them.
We wish we could rate higher than 5 stars! What a sweet family and we could not be more confident knowing that our dog is in great hands!
Lina loved being with Barb and Dirk! We got regular updates and photos. We will definitely rebook with them in the future.
I almost hate to say how amazing Barbara and Dirk are for fear they’ll get booked up! But, they really are fantastic dog lovers and people.
We had a wonderful experience with Barbara and Dirk. Great communication, loving care for our dog.
Mackenzie was very happy and spoiled during her stay. She will definitely be back ❤️

Schedule
Our daily routine is built around the dogs in our care. One of us is home most of the day, so your pup will have very little, if any, time alone. We provide regular potty breaks, supervised outdoor time in our fenced yard, play sessions, walks (if that’s part of their routine), and plenty of cuddle and relax time throughout the day. We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, sleeping, and medication schedule so their stay feels familiar, comfortable, and stress-free.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We offer a calm, safe, and loving home for your dog while you’re away. We intentionally care for only one dog at a time, so your pup gets our full attention and a peaceful, stress-free stay (no crowded doggy sleepovers here!).
Pets
A typical day
One of us is home almost all the time, so your dog will have little to no time alone—which means plenty of cuddles, playtime, and personalized care throughout the day. And full honesty: we might like dogs more than people… but in the best possible way. It just means your pup will get VIP treatment, lots of affection, and probably a few extra compliments about how cute they are. If you’re looking for a sitter who provides a safe, cozy, low-stress home with lots of love and attention, we’d be honored to care for your dog like they’re our own.

- Before your pup arrives, we love getting the inside scoop! Tell us all the important details — quirks, routines, favorite toys, secret talents, and anything they consider highly suspicious (vacuum cleaners, mail carriers, men wearing hats, etc.). Do they sleep in a crate, a dog bed, or diagonally across a king-size bed like royalty? Are they an early riser or a professional snoozer? The more we know, the easier it is to make their stay feel like a home away from home. Plus, we like to be fully prepared for important things… like their preferred cuddle schedule.
