Ratings and reviews
Barbara, took good care of my little dog Jay, I plan on using her again later this year.
From the moment I met Barbara I knew my pet would be safe with her. Skai took to her right away. Her home was peaceful and welcoming. Barbara kept me updated- assuring me our dog was doing well. I will definitely use her services again.
Barbara was very understanding that we needed to cancel at the last minute.
Wonderful. I have the freedom to leave Oakleigh and fly to the west coast. And I don’t worry for even one minute.
My dog is well taken care of and I can leave her with Barbara without a worry…every time. I am thankful.
Oakleigh was well taken care of in my absence. I am thankful to have found Barbara.

Schedule
I am single and retired and generally spend most of my time at home except for a few church functions during the week and an occasional lunch with friends. I would say at the most I am usually only out of the house for 2 or 3 hours a day.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am able to take the dog outside frequently on a leash to do its business and perhaps a short walk. When in my home I spent a lot of time in my chair and like sitting with a dog in my lap to pet. I generally sleep in my chair and would prefer the dog to be crated at night. if not he can be in his own bed next to my chair. If I care for a dog in your home I may be able to take up to a medium sized dog and perhaps more than one but only if it is a fenced in yard. I do not feel comfortable walking larger dogs.
A typical day
Because I am older and retired I am not particulary active in my daily routine and would prefer an older less active dog. If I do go out its usually in the morning and I'm home by lunch. I would not probably take a dog with me when I went out.
