Doggy Day Care • Aug 04, 2026

Barbara and her daughter Dawn welcomed us warmly and graciously accepted Schatzi. She has a great fenced in backyard. He was there for seven hours and spent a lot of time outside. When we got there he could’ve cared less that we arrived he was still having fun!

My French Bulldog, Frannie, appeared to have the time of her life with Barbara. She was with Barbara for 10 or 11 days and Barbara sent me videos and photos every day. I would ask Barbara again to care for my Frannie!!

Barb was wonderful with our Silver Lab, Birdie. From the moment we booked with her, she was an excellent communicator. She kept us updated throughout Birdie's stay with thoughtful text messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. When we picked Birdie up at the end of the day, it was clear she had been well cared for. I highly recommend Barb to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.

Barbara was very communicative and easy to work with. Our doggo spent the day while we visited a Dells waterpark, and the location was convenient and only 15/20 minutes from the park. She provided kind care and had plenty of space for our dog to run and play.

My Luna girl is very high anxiety, and this was my first time leaving her with someone who wasn’t family. Barbara was amazing and provided me a lot of updates and made sure Luna felt as comfortable as possible. She also has a beautiful, big backyard that my hound loved to sniff around. Barbara was great!

I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have recently retired. I’ve watched my family’s and friend’s dogs for decades. Babysitting your dog would be my pleasure! (:

Safety, trust & environment

I have a big fenced in backyard, and love sitting outside myself to play fetch and enjoy the fresh air. I watch 1-3 dogs on a daily basis now, and they always go home happy and ready for bed.

A typical day

I have a fenced yard so I will always throw ball for the dogs and sit outside on the shaded deck. I leave the door to my house open, so the dogs can come in and out as they please.
