Safe, fun and loving

Pet care experience

I have over 10 years experience caring for all types of dogs, and cats too! I stood alongside my dad while he trained hounds to hunt and have loved animals ever since. I’m especially adept in caring for animals who have special needs and strict schedules or are high energy. My motto is that my home is your pets home too. Just call me Aunt Barb ;)

Barbara is an amazing sitter! After only a few stays our dog Lucy recognizes her name and her dog Mia and is always excited to head to "doggy daycare"! Barbara goes above and beyond by walking Lucy and sending us a detailed report about her day.

Best rover we have had yet! Our girl is always happy to go and is happy when we pick her up. Barbara clearly loves dogs and treats our girl like her own. We are thankful for her care and can't wait to have Lucy go back again.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is your pets home away from home. I have a dedicated room for pets to play in that is carpeted and a dedicated garage space for playful pups who need to let out massive amounts of energy. Along with these 2 areas your pet is allowed to roam my home as they would yours. I have cameras in each play area recording at all times but your pet will never be alone. I also use kennels at night for the safety and privacy of your pet. All pets are fed individually and based on owner’s guidelines but water is available at all times. Pet areas are cleaned daily up to veterinary healthcare standards to prevent spread of infection.

A typical day

My neighborhood is super dog friendly, there are always new smells and critters so walks are a must! I love to provide various enrichment , whether it be through puzzles, complex toys or just simple command training with treats. Naps are always on the schedule of course!!
