Information Barbara L. would like to know about your pet

Before your pet stays with me, I’d love to know a few things to make sure they have the best experience possible: Daily routine: Mealtimes, potty breaks, usual walk schedule, bedtime. Energy level & favorite activities: Are they playful, mellow, or somewhere in between? Behavioral notes: Any quirks, fears, or triggers (e.g. other dogs, loud noises, etc.). Health info: Medications, allergies, past injuries, or anything to keep an eye on. Training cues & commands: What words or hand signals do they respond to? Social preferences: Do they like other dogs, kids, or prefer solo time? Feeding details: Type of food, portion size, and any treat rules. The more I know, the more I can care for your pet just like you do!

A typical day

I love keeping dogs active — both physically and mentally. When your pup is with me, I’ll play all sorts of fun games to burn energy and stay sharp. I’ll head out to explore the neighborhood, sniff out all the exciting new scents, and take trips to a big park nearby for even more adventure. Whether it’s a lively game of fetch or a peaceful stroll, your dog will get the perfect mix of play, stimulation, and love.

Marvin had a great stay with Barbara! He seemed to enjoy his time there. He was very happy at pick up and drop off time, and was having fun and was settled right in in all of the pictures we received! I highly recommend Barbara!

Barbara was absolutely amazing with my dog. From the very beginning, she was warm, attentive, and clearly experienced. She kept me consistently updated with photos and videos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. Definitely a great person to trust
