Pet care experience
To maintain a pristine environment, I engage in daily floor sanitation using bleach. Additionally, I employ an environmentally safe and pet-friendly disinfectant spray to treat my yard. Rest assured, I strictly adhere to a policy of allowing only vaccinated animals into my house. Hi, welcome to my profile. 😃 *I offer a pick up and drop off service. *If your strapped for time I do offer video chat meet and greets. My mom taught me the fundamentals of competition and grooming. I started showing dogs at 8 years old, grooming at 13, and training in my late teens. I have shown and finish dogs both in AKC and International conformation dog shows. Earning championship on my and others yorkies, bullmastiffs, and boxers. I have competed with my dogs in competitions such as dock diving, barn hunt, obedience, fast cat, lure course, rally, etc. Most all my dogs have their CGC.

Reviews
Barbara took great care of my Newfie Moo Moo! Would defiantly use again.
We love Barbara so much! She takes such great care of our pup, which is such a relief to not have to worry while we are out of town. We also get lots of picture updates throughout the stay. We know Pepper always has fun because she comes home so exhausted from all the playing.
Barbara was great with our pups and sent regular updates with pictures. Fully recommend!
Barbara was very thorough and professional. She took great care of Jolene, even though my girl wasn't super well-behaved. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day, which is always appreciated. Will definitely call on her again!

I've tailored my home from 40 years of working with dogs. Your pet is never left alone; they'll eat, sleep, in a supplied kennel. They play in a pet-friendly rec room and secure 8ft fenced play area. My partner, also Rover-approved, supervises when I'm away.

My operating hours are 8am to 8pm and I will not do drop off and pickups out side of those hours out of respect for my family and neighbors. I work from home as a dog trainer and groomer along with offering limited pet sitting through Rover. I do everything based on appointment only. Rover will give you a time variant. I will confirm the actual pickup and drop off time with you. My flexibility depends on my schedule for the day, because I don't have a store front it is not a drop in at your leisure service. I am up at 6am to let everyone out. I feed about 8am. Everyone gets an hour of belly rest then are out to play all day until I Start my feeding routine over at 7pm. Everyone is tucked in for the night at 10pm. I have cameras up for added security and to alert me if one of the pups needs something in the night.
