Empty nesters that LOVE dogs

Pet care experience

We adopted a puppy 8 years ago when my son was in the 8th grade and, as it so often happens, my husband and I became the primary caregiver for our pup, Riley. After sitting for the dogs of some friends while on vacation, we decided to adopt another dog, Bailey. Our son has been away at college for 3 years now and our lives now revolve around our pups. I work from home so I have the flexibility to walk the dogs as needed and they are rarely left without human companionship. My husband and I both love dogs and have cared for or owned dogs on and off our entire lives. Your pups will receive lots of love and attention while staying with us. My puppy rate is higher only for pups that are not house trained.

Barbara was wonderful! Treated my dog like her own. She was very friendly and flexible too. Highly recommend.

Barbara and her husband took excellent care of our dog while we were away. It is obvious that they have a passion for caring for dogs and we wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future!

Cujo was well taken care of by Barbara and her husband. I think she really enjoyed the interaction with her two pets and I was not worried at all knowing she was in Barbara's care. Barbara sent pictures which were a super treat.

Information Barbara H. would like to know about your pet

I prefer small to medium sized dogs only because my Riley (36 lbs) hasn't been overly comfortable with larger dogs. I would consider a larger dog if they were very laid back in temperament.

A typical day

Our apartment complex has a fenced yard area where dogs are allowed to be off leash. If you are comfortable with this I can take them there for a bit of ball play or just some good old fashioned running around.
