Loves Dogs and Visitors

Have had dogs all my life from babies to full grown...have a golden retriever almost 3 that loves to play and make new friends...I would take care of your dogs (family) like they were my own...very responsible and dependable....I love dogs and love going on hikes and walks, I will keep them busy and cared for while you are away...You can count on me to take very good care of your babies, I can also text you updates and pictures while I am watching them. I will also note that my garage where they are if I am not home...has a dog door to the yard .....windows all across the garage door and a large window on the outside wall of the garage....it is as light as the outside in there....

Barbara was an excellent communicator and our dog had many friends to play with; we'd definitely use her services again!

Barbara took care of my special needs dog for a little over two weeks. She administered his medications, kept me updated when he ran out of wet food, picked up the food I ordered, and alerted me when she was worried that he might run out of one of his medications. This communication was so excellent and so important. She also sent me photos while I was away. Most importantly, he came home safe and well. My one disappointment with the care is related to his bladder issues. I provided diapers/wraps for him to use when needed, but none were used. When I picked him up, he and his crate, crate bed, and blanket all smelled strongly of urine. I’m glad he was otherwise in good shape and I appreciate the communication and medication administration. I hope this feedback helps with future care of dogs who have similar bladder needs.

She was so wonderful & super responsive. I went out of the country & I felt super at ease leaving my pup. She sent frequent photos, too!

We needed a last minute booking and Barb was ready and willing to help us out!! Olive and Libby had the best time! They were well taken care of and watched. Especially with Libby who is 12 years old and has strict food restrictions. Will definitely book again with her!!
