Quality care for my precious baby! We appreciated Barbara’s care. We were here from out of town and she graciously agreed to watch her.

Lucky had a great day with Barbara! A walk, lots of play time outside in her beautiful yard plus she fed him a special meal. He made himself right at home. Lucky will definitely be back.

Boarding • Apr 08, 2026

Patrick is a sweetheart and very special but he does not talk. He hasn't given me his opinion. He is easy going and gets along well in almost any situation. I expect he was a little confused at being dropped off with a stranger but her home situation seemed ideal and she took him for walks so I'm guessing he had a good time with Barbara. I would certainly take him to Barbara again when/ if I have the need for someone to care for him.
