Highlights
Pet care experience
Downtown Small Dog Specialist
I sit your dog under <20 pounds, no more than two at a time. Your pup has my full attention and you have a more personalized customer experience. I look forward to dog company! I’m home full time and welcome the companionship. We have plenty of sunshine, a fenced property, a nice deck (and couch) for sunning, plus we walk a half-mile loop once or twice a day. I have patience, compassion and plenty of time. If your little dog is wary of other dogs- don’t worry. I don’t sit new dogs together (max 2 total) until I know their temperament.

Ratings and reviews
Barbara was great! She took such amazing care of my blind Chiweenie named Charles. She sent a ton of pictures and videos. It looked like he had a great time! I’ll definitely book with Barbara again!
Very helpful in a pinch when we needed someone trustworthy to watch our puppy for a few hours! Constant pics and updates
Barbara K. cancelled a booking 4 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Barbara was fantastic and took Teddy to her lake house, which he loved!! She sent tons of pics of my happy pup. I feel very comfortable having her take care of him and will book again. Thanks Barbara!! -Kristin and Teddy
Always takes amazing care of my dog and tries to even introduce her to new things like making friends with other dogs!
Barbra took wonderful care of my pup, Camille! She was easy to communicate with and sent lots of updates, and made Camille feel right at home! Will be happy to send her back to stay w/ Barbra!

Schedule
My routine is set by my dog guest. Until I know your pup, we’re outside every 2-3 hours until we agree on a potty schedule. Plus, I live on the trail, by a big million dollar park, our condo has almost 2 acres of manicured dog walks AND I have a lake house on two lots. To a dog, time with me is a vacation 😆.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog will be on a leash outside, fully supervised. Your dog is allowed on furniture and sleeps with me (if that’s his/her routine). We often go to our lake house, 1.5 hours away. Your dog will go with us! Don’t worry- you’ll know me well before I ask, and you’ll know before you book if that’s in our plans. Many of the pictures on Rover are from the lake house.
A typical day
We feed and potty first thing in the morning, then take sun, sometimes with a brushing. Pup will nap, get some pets and follow me around the house. Around 4pm, it’s time for another long walk, then it’s dinner time and lapdog time. If your pup is a loner, I won’t push him/her to engage.
- 0 to 15 lbsDogs over 1 year oldSpayed and neutered dogs onlyNo females in heatBarbara can host up to 1 pet per night
- I’ll make sure puppy’s comfortable. Many people think no one can care for their “special case” dog.... I bet you’re wrong. I've lived with little dogs all my life and have learned a lot on the way.
