Worry-free care starts @ $45/day

Pet care experience

When business and personal trips, or well-deserved vacations leave you in need of trustworthy, loving pet care, worry not! We provide worry-free pet care in our Upper Black Eddy cottage in the woods. We offer affordable overnight care in our home starting at $45 for small dogs (< 15lbs); $65 for medium pups (up to 40lbs). PLEASE NOTE Rover automatically applies the small dog rate so manual adjustment will be made for medium size pups upon receipt of booking request. Our clients can attest that we do whatever it takes to make our stay with your pets a fun and safe experience. We follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible, enhanced with some extra fun and love to ensure they feel safe and secure while you are away. Also my husband Jim and/or I are always home with your pets and available to tend to your pet's needs.

We couldn’t be happier with Barbara. She is very sweet and we know our Piper is in good hands!

Barbara really went the extra mile to make sure our dogs we’re cared for! She provided multiple updates a day and made sure they had plenty of play time. Definitely would recommend!

Barbara was an amazing host for our dog, Benni for our wedding and honeymoon! She sent multiple updates each and every day during our 12-day trip. She really made Benni feel at home and gave him the extra care he needed. She even taught us a few things about Benni that we didn't even know! I highly recommend Barbara!

Safety, trust & environment

Because we are temporarily living in a smaller home, we board only a few pups at a time. This way we have more time for each pup and no one is overwhelmed by excessive noise and competition for our attention. We have you fill out several forms including Dog Info sheet that tell us of any special needs or behaviors of which we should be mindful, feeding instructions, medicine instructions, canine socialization skills, favorite activities and emergency contact info. Also we ask that you provide a Vet authorization form with all important contact info and care authorization. Lastly we contact you once or twice a day with pics and stories about your beloved pup. At this time we do not provide overnight care for your furkids in your home. We are happy to do one or several drop in visits if it meets your pets needs and our schedule allows for same.

Information Barbara & James M. would like to know about your pet

To make our stay with your pup a fun, comfortable and enjoyable one for all, we want to know everything about your pet. We will personalize our care to meet their needs-- favorite activities and games, feeding schedule, how they like food prepared, medical concerns, any quirks and fears, animal compatibility, etc. To this end, we will email you a "Pet information Sheet" to complete after meet and greet. ***PLEASE NOTE YOUR DOG MUST BE ON A FLEA/TICK/WORMING PROGRAM AND UP TO DATE ON ALL AGE APPROPRIATE VACINNES INCLUDING BORDETELLA*** Please bring copy of immunization records to meet and greet.

A typical day

Does your pup like other friendly pups but is an only pup? If so our beloved, friendly and fun-loving Suki will treat them to hours of daily playtime, accompany your pup on long walks and cozy up when it's time to chill. What about fetching, chasing, smelling, chewing, playing hide & seek or other enrichment activities? Dogs love gaming and we know the key to a happy and healthy dog is regular physical, emotional and mental enrichment through scent games, food puzzles, and exercise. If your dog loves walks and has good leash manners, with your permission, we treat them to an adventure at one of the local public parks or a fun stroll through a local neighborhood. So you don't miss your pup too much while you're away, we stay in touch providing updates throughout the day. I love taking pictures and videos of animals so you will receive lots of pictorial updates.
