Pet care experience

I have taken care of and trained my own pets and friends. I have given medications and sat for 2 large senior dogs who live together. I have had 4 rescue labs and currently own a lab mix (Lou) as with all my dogs I hike an hour a day in Blue Mountain reservation.

Barbara was always quick to reply and send information when I needed to check in with my boys. I know that they were well taken care of, and she is someone that I will use in the future.

Barbara was fantastic with Nola on her two week stay! Barbara kept us updated and sent videos of Nola living her best life, playing, running, hiking and falling asleep exhausted afterwards. Barbara helped Nola by teaching her to socialize with other dogs appropriately which she definitely needed. Nola was treated like she was part of the family. I highly recommend Barbara to provide a loving home to your dog.

Barbara is wonderful! She was open to answer any questions we may have had and we felt completely assured that our Laika was in caring and loving hands and she had great time taking walks in nearby park and spending the day in Barbara’s yard.
