Information Barbara L. would like to know about your pet

Meet-and-greets are essential so we can acquainted. Tell me how your fur baby behaves on a walk, if there are certain treats to avoid, and whether you want us to go off-leash at the beach.

A typical day

Options for nature walks abound! I have also been toying with the idea of offering personalized sonnets as an add-on to the sleepover experience. Is this something that you’re interested in? Let me know!

Stay-at-Home Dog Tia

Pet care experience

Does your doggo need a stay-at-home auntie in its life? Get ready for lots of photos and updates because your babies will get 24-7 attention at Casa de Barbara. ** I am a work-from-home writer/editor, and my husband is a scientist working in biotech. Aside from our very friendly poodle mutt (pictured in profile), the last member of our household is our daughter. She is great with dogs, having grown up learning how to nicely pet our pup. ** Some of the dogs that I have watched over the years have been coming to me longer than I’ve known my husband. We look forward to adding yours to the pack! **

Brisket had a great day with Barbara and Quillo. She was super responsive and we really appreciated having a meet and greet before booking to make sure the dogs got along. She kept us updated with photos throughout the day and we knew that Brisky was in good hands. We will absolutely book with her again!

Barbara was wonderful. Communication with her was easy and she responded very quickly. She sent me lots of pictures of Matt during his stay. I would definitely book a stay for Matt with her again.
