Pet care experience
We have extensive positive reinforcement dog training experience. We have also done agility training. We are retired. Separation from primary care givers for dogs can be stressful for them. We are committed to providing a calming respite in your absence. We strongly recommend including in your dog's travel bag an unlaundered t-shirt full of your scent. Dogs are allowed on the bed, our bed is low to the ground. Dogs must be potty trained, not be incessant barkers and have all legally required vaccines and shots. Dogs will be crated in a large crate when we are off-site, This is for your dog's safety.
Reviews
Barbara was very professional and accommodating. I was completely comfortable entrusting our cherished dog with her.
Barbar is the absolute best sitter! We know Cody is in the very best care and we never worry one minute when we are away. Barbara sends lots of pictures and notes to let us know what they are doing and what great adventure they are having. Cody LOVES his vacations there! Thank you Barbara for all your kindness and wonderful care of our fur baby!
Barbara is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and works to provide a good visit for the dog and the owner. Very communicative sharing pictures of walks and play time.
It was our second experience with Barbara and when I saw how joyfully my dog was greeting with her like old friends I knew he is in the best hands again. Barbara also made a big favor for us when she agreed to boarding on a day when she formerly was unavailable. Albert had walks, cuddles and we got a lot of photos.

Information Barbara L. would like to know about your pet
We like to know what words\commands your dog knows. Does your dog have any phobias. Is your dog house trained? Does your dog have all legal vaccinations?
A typical day
We live in a nice community for walks. Our FENCED back yard is fabulous for a game of fetch or to take a dip in the kiddie pool. We regularly volunteer at the 'Friends of Jupiter Beach' dog beach and that dog beach is a regular destination for dog clients who have been approved by their pet parents to travel there with us during their stay. We were also the Vice President of the Washington Square Dog Park in NYC in the late 90's. This gave us EXTENSIVE experience in deciphering dog body language and behavior as all breeds and sizes of dogs entered that run on a daily basis being that it was in the heart of Greenwich Village, NYC. A Meet and Greet is required for all new dog clients.
