Pet care experience
I am a life-long dog lover and currently have two 6-year-old rescues (Britton and Rollins) that love to hang out with other dogs. It is very important that your dog feels comfortable with them and vice-versa so we will schedule a meet and greet prior to your stay. I am a freelance graphic designer and work from home just outside of downtown Orlando. Our yard is large with lots of squirrels to chase. There is room to run, play and take care of business. We have a pool, so if your dog is a swimmer, please let me know! (Mine are not!) We love to play outside so please keep current on flea/tick prevention. We have 2 dog-friendly sofas in my office (aka the family room) for a prime nap location. Sleeping arrangements vary, depending on what your pup is used to at home. Please feel free to bring your dogs bed. My kids Mina(19) and Callie (16) will be around too, so there will be no shortage of affection showered on your pup. He/she will be a like member of our family while you are away.
Reviews
Sophie always has a blast with Barbara and her pups. Thank you for taking great care of her!
Archer had the most amazing time with Barbara and her two lovely dogs. We will continue to come back and back and back.
Barbara is an absolute joy to work with. Right off the bat, you can tell she loves dogs and dogs love her. We were nervous leaving our pup with anyone new, but Barbara really understood and listen to him, and helped him feel comfortable to come out of his shell. 10/10
Barbara is awesome and our dog loved staying at her home.

Safety, trust & environment
Our yard is big with lots of room to run. We like to be outside early in the day before it gets too hot and then we go out for short breaks throughout the day. We offer treats for good behavior so please alert me to any dietary restrictions. We offer lots of options for indoor lounging. If you prefer, feel free to bring your dog's bed for them to use while they are here.

Does your dog like other dogs? Any fears or anxiety? When does he/she usually eat? Any food or toy aggression? Is your dog current on Flea/tick prevention? Where does he/she usually sleep?
A typical day
Our neighborhood is quiet and great for walks. We love to serve frozen watermelon cubes on the patio afterwards. We have a pool, though our pups do not prefer it. They will splash in the baby pool if they want to cool off. Supervised pool time is an option, if your dog is into that.
