Nana B's dogie vacay
Pet care experience
Having been a pet parent for many years and taking care of others' pets, it is our privilege to provide a fun and safe vacay for your pup while you are away. Our home is a single level house on a quiet cul de sac with sidewalks and lots of grassy areas. We have a sideyard/dog run area and another play area . Both areas are gated and fully fenced. Whisky is our current dog who is a frisky pup. He is up to date on all vaccinations and is neutered. He is good with most dogs. Please make sure your pup is up to date on vaccinations and flea/tick medications. I would request that we meet before accepting a vacay date to see how the pups get along. For our new guests, sometimes, it is a good idea to set up a daycare vacay for a couple of hours to see how it goes; totally up to you. Here's our usual routine: whoever wakes first and barks gets us up for the new fun filled day that awaits! Whisky goes outside in his sideyard run and then comes in for "humhum" (breaky). Then outside again. Later, we will go for our morning walk and have some playtime throwing and retrieving a toy or two. R&R time in the afternoon. "Dindin" is around 5 and again outside time and a walk and more playtime and cuddles. That's pretty much our day except when the grandkidlets come over. Then there is even more playtime! Bedtime is around 10pm. Nightie night sleepyheads! More fun tomorrow!! I am currently using zoom part time from home and have plenty of time to provide lots of special care and attention for our guests allowing for outside and inside playtime. We have a fenced side yard where the pups can run, play, pee and poop every few hours as needed and wanted. There are other areas for them to explore as well with gates and fences to protect them from getting out or injured.
Reviews
Barbara is so nice and friendly. Always giving updates! Took great care of Zoey and helped pay special attention.
Thank you for being a warm, loving sitter for our sweet fur baby!
Really appreciate Barbara and all the love and care she gives our sweet fur baby. We will definitely be booking her again! Thank you, Barbara!
Barbara took incredible care of our labradoodle and sent daily updates and photos. We’ll definitely have her care for Winnie the next time we go out of town.

Information Barbara L. would like to know about your pet
To best care for your pup, it is important that I learn as much as possible about your little guy/gal. Please tell me any problems you may be dealing with so we can know ahead of time. Please note that I do charge puppy rate should your pup forget his training skills inside the home. We provide walks and outside time in our fenced areas allowing plenty of time to conduct personal needs. So, your pup does need to be house trained! Please bring the food and treats so tummies don't get upset during the stay. Other treats are available if that is ok with you. Also, tell me where your pup sleeps and bring the crate or bed, if possible to allow for complete comfort at sleepy time. Please bring a copy of your pup's current vaccinations and make sure your pup has been given flea meds before the stay. Though we do try to accommodate early and late pick ups, we charge an add'l fee. We are not available for pick ups nor drop offs 24/7. For our daycare guests, if you pick up later than 6pm, we do charge an add'l fee.
A typical day
We love dogs and your pup will become part of our pack for play and romp. We've got lots of balls and toys but bring your pup's favorite if you wish. We go for walks up the hills and around the town, and play in our yard as well.
