In-home dog care w/ fenced-in yard

Pet care experience

Your doggie will get lots of love and attention and will feel very safe and comfortable in our home. My husband and I are empty nesters with a fairly large fenced in back yard where the dogs love to run and play on a low traffic street. I will be glad to send pictures and videos of your dog during the day. Your pup will be given only the food and treats you provide so that they maintain a consistent diet and remain happy and healthy. Your dogs should be house trained. I do understand an occasional accident as many dogs in an unfamiliar environment can slip up once in a while. *** Important requirement: You will need to provide proof of updated shots and vaccines. *** I require a meet and greet with you and your dog(s) at least 3 - 5 days before their stay and look forward to meeting you. I am home almost 24/7 with short trips to the grocery store. I have a backup for dogs with separation anxiety who need constant care. I have a fully fenced in yard and constantly supervise your dog while outside. I don’t take dogs who will not fit in with the others I watch.

I can highly recommend Barb as the perfect sitter! My family was far away on a trip & we felt so comfortable leaving our dog at her home. She has the perfect set up with a nice big fenced in yard for lots of fetch & we loved receiving videos of our happy dog too!! Barb was accommodating to our pickup schedule and Sully gave her lots of kisses when we left. We will definitely use her in the future!

Jimi was in full form when we picked him up. He did not seem in a hurry to leave Barbara! Thanks

Barb was wonderful, super flexible with setting up a meet and greet. My two pups had a wonderful time running around her fenced in yard. Would certainly use her again in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for sitting.

Your pup can be segregated from other dogs if you prefer or free to roam. There are enough dog gates and doors to give them their own space if they like.

Information Barbara G. would like to know about your pet

A meet and greet is important so that your dog and I get to know each other before their stay. I will need to know what type of food and treats they eat, their eating schedule, how often they go outside, where they sleep, and any anxieties.

A typical day

I have a large fenced in yard where dogs can run and play while fully supervised. We throw catch and retrieve so they have plenty of play time.
