Big fenced yard 2 run and play!
Pet care experience
Hi I'm Babs! I grew up in Tahoe - I have lived here in Incline for over 20 years. I provide quality pet care for pampered pups in a spacious home and a large fully fenced grass yard. I am an attentive loving caregiver and treat every pet as my own. I have owned many dogs both big and small, from rescues to pure bred pups and have over 15 years experience caring for them. I have always loved animals and have had many pets including cats, rats, hedgehogs, rabbits, birds, fish and even snakes. I will provide one walk a day where if ok to go off leash can run safely in a large wooded area with a creek to drink out of and play in. Your pup will always have access to the fenced yard through the slider door on the porch or they can always use the doggy door. I work from home so I am available to spend lots of quality time with your pet. I am reliable and observant, your pets safety and comfort and my #1 priority. I do well with anxious dogs or dogs that get overwhelmed easily. We take it slow and they have plenty of space to do their thing if they prefer to be left alone. Extra snuggly and cuddly dogs are always welcome to snuggle up on the couch or hang out in my lap. The yard is fully fenced and secure. Dogs are always supervised together.
Reviews
Babs is so wonderful to work with and we felt comfortable with George there the whole time! She sent us pictures all the time and kept us updated throughout. We highly recommend her service!
My dog is normally my shadow, but when we get to Barbara’s house he takes off into the backyard and hardly looks back. She takes great care of him and he clearly loves his time there.
My dog seemed happy to see Babs again and got along well with the other dogs she was taking care of. I feel good about leaving my dog in her care and will book with her again.
Barbara took great care of our three year old golden. She came back very happy!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am very attentive to dog body language and needs, it’s very important to me to make sure the dog(s) feel safe and trust me to provide direction, comfort, play and food/snacks. New dogs are always closely monitored and behavior will be checked if dogs are too rowdy or not giving another dog their space. I only host friendly dogs at my home - although I love all dogs it’s important that all pups are safe and around other socialized and well behaved pups.

Drop off/pick up times: 8am-8pm Currently only boarding dogs that are available for a meet and greet prior to booking. I am happy to groom and bathe your pup for an additional fee. I have a full grooming set up in my garage with professional grooming tools/supplies. I can not host dogs that have shown any signs of aggression around toys or food and other dogs. If your dog gets particularly anxious or nervous I recommend booking some additional short stays or daycare/walks with me prior to the booking.
A typical day
My living room and yard are perfect for running and playing with toys. Lots of interesting things to sniff and explore in the backyard. I love to spoil dogs with treats and play games with toys. The spacious open plan living room has lots of room to run and play as well as snooze on different couches or dog beds. Kitchen opens up via slider door and doggy door to the porch and backyard so they can come and go into the yard as they please.

Availability
As I have dogs of my own playtime and walks are always on the schedule. I am able to hang out with the dogs most of the day, I have another business that I run but mostly can be done from home.
