❤️🐾Where the Small&Elite Roam Free
My home is where I care for your fur babies, and my goal is to make every guest feel safe, loved, comfortable, and at home while away from their owners.i have my home divided into two different living area to accommodate everyone, and still feel like a home. So, its possiblre if requested that there be no interactions with other fur babies. Please note, the health and safety of your fur baby is my top priority. Meaning, all pets must be current on vaccinations and have no prior aggressive incidents with other dogs. Honesty is the best approach to a positive experience. So, please make me aware of any triggers or trauma your fur baby has so i can be proactive during their visit. If you want NO interaction with guests 💫VIP💫 (excluding my own two babies) There is an additional $10 charge per day. ***YOU MUST STATE THAT AT THE TIME OF BOOKING THAT YOU'RE REQUESTING 💫VIP 💫SO, I CAN ADJUST THE RATE. Otherwise, you're accepting the interaction under my supervision to take place. I do NOT allow interaction between guests unless I am 💯% sure everyone is friendly, safe and comfortable to mingle. I have had son bookings where no one was ready to mingle so everyone stayed in separate living spaces. It works out just fine. I don't use kennels or crates to separate the guests. Free roaming in their living space takes place at all times. Please note: I am a middle school teacher during the school year (mid-August through the end of May). During that time, I am available weekends only — Fridays after 4:00 PM through Sundays at 7:00 PM, along with school holidays and breaks. During June and July, I offer my full range of Rover services. Unlike many boarding facilities, I specialize in caring for indoor-only pets and dogs that become anxious or stressed in traditional kennel environments. Many dogs are uncomfortable being kenneled for long periods or waiting among large groups of dogs for attention and playtime. Unless an owner specifically requests kennel sleeping arrangements, indoor pets are free to roam, relax on furniture, and enjoy supervised access to the backyard for potty breaks. I do not use kennels unless the owner provides one or requests it. At night, your pet sleeps comfortably just like they would at home. Although I mainly focus on small dogs, I do make exceptions for larger breeds when it is the right fit. I have cared for Golden Doodles, German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Retrievers and Great Danes, whose owners wanted a calm, indoor-home environment rather than a traditional boarding facility. I also accept select special requests for: • Luxury or elite breeds • Dogs in heat • Rescue dogs needing extra patience and support • Dogs that should not interact with other animals For owners requesting a private “💫VIP💫 Stay,” your dog can enjoy individualized care and the main living area without interaction with other guest pets. 💫VIP💫accommodations are available for an additional $10 per night. Although I primarily cater to smaller indoor pets, I have experience caring for dogs of many sizes, temperaments, and needs. Feel free to contact me to discuss accommodations and see if I may be a good fit for your pet. I have turned clients down because i didn't think my environment was a good fit. Whether you need care for a few hours , a full weekend, transportation assistance during appointments, or pet care while visiting Bakersfield, I am here for you. What to Bring for Your Pet’s Stay Please provide 📝 instructions on feeding, basic care, and list any restrictions you have during their visit stay. • Leash , collar and/or harness • Their bed or favorite blanket • One favorite toy • Plenty of treats!! Anybrestrictions on treats • Food portioned for each meal If your pet requires special meal preparation, I am happy to assist as long as written feeding instructions are provided. If your dog is required to sleep in a crate or kennel, please bring their kennel from home whenever possible. If your pet is not fully potty trained, PLEASE notify me in advance and provide pee pads if necessary. There are no additional fees, but advance notice allows me to properly prepare my home for your pet’s stay. Please note: Puppy rates override additional pet rates. I am certified in pet CPR and currently continuing my education toward becoming an AKC-certified boarder. My dogs are family, and I care deeply about the safety and emotional well-being of every pet in my care. I will treat your fur baby with the same love, patience, affection, cuddles, tummy rubs, and back scratches I give my own pets. I strive to provide a positive experience for your fur baby and continuously give updates during their stay so, don't hesitate to notify me of any questions or concerns during their stay.🐾❤️ Additional services available: • Doggie Daycare • Pet Transportation & Appointment Drop-Off/Pick-Up • Basic Grooming (Wash & Dry) • Drop-In Visits for Dogs & Cats For safety, I do not take dogs to crowded dog parks. I may also use AirTags during walks or outings when appropriate for added safety and peace of mind. I believe in open communication at all times. Feel free to contact me to discuss your pet’s specific needs — all requests are considered. Positive reinforcement, patience, and consistency are always used for training and behavior guidance. I do not use punishment-based methods.. I'm currently working on trainer's certification. “Up2Parr Solutions” 🐾

Barbara is Scout's other Dog Mom! We have been booking with Barbara for several years, usually about once a month. Scout has a back problem, and she is excellent with helping his symptoms and managing his medications. Scout loves her so much, all I have to do is ask him if he wants to go to see Barbara and Ace and he runs to the door! She is easy to work with, reliable, and most importantly, I trust her 100% with taking care of my Scout as well as we do. It's hard to find good sitters for smaller dogs, but you can't go wrong with Barbara!
I really appreciate the immediate health update. Barbara text me with a photo of my dog issue ( loose stools) and we were able to discuss options. I greatly appreciate the communication and how quickly kept me informed. Also, thank you for accommodating my last minute reservation
Barbara is an absolute angel and the best dog sitter I have ever met. She treats my furry best friend with so much genuine love, patience, and care that it completely puts my mind at ease. My pup was instantly smitten with her warm, energetic personality, and I absolutely love the adorable photo and video updates she sends throughout the visit. My dog can get a little anxious when I travel, but he was so relaxed around her that he actually didn't want to come home! He also had a blast playing and socializing with the other dogs. Barbara truly goes above and beyond by strictly following my feeding schedule and taking him on walks without charging extra. Coming home to such a happy, well-cared-for pup gives me the ultimate peace of mind. If you are lucky enough to book her, consider yourself incredibly blessed because she is an absolute gem. I am already counting down the days until I can book her again!
Very irresponsible dog sitter. Let my dog have all the pool water she could have and gave her treats that were not authorized by me. My dog has uncontrollable diarrhea since I picked her up this morning. The sitter is not taking any accountability. Worst experience with a sitter.
Barbara was communicative and thorough, showing great care for our animals. Thank you!
Barbara took great care of Roo! She is a true dog lover, super communicative, and she even went out of her way to accommodate our schedules. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a long or short term sitter.

I am a strong advocate for animals and believe education is one of the most important tools in preventing cruelty, neglect, abandonment, and irresponsible pet ownership. I support educating both children and adults about the responsibilities that come with owning a pet, proper animal care, and the importance of speaking up when an animal is being mistreated. I believe stronger laws and harsher penalties are needed for animal abuse, neglect, abandonment, and unethical backyard breeding practices. I am also a registered foster for both our county and city shelters and help whenever they are in need of support for animals in care. Services I provide include: • Doggie Daycare • Dog Boarding • Basic Dog Grooming • Drop-In Visits for Dogs & Cats • Pet Transportation Services I try to remain flexible with drop-off and pick-up times whenever possible. If your travel plans change after your reservation begins — such as flight delays, traffic, weather conditions, or early returns — please communicate with me as soon as possible so we can work together to make any needed accommodations. Please note: Rover does charge cancellation fees according to their policy. ❤️🐾 Transportation services are also available, and I can pick up or drop off your fur baby at your home for a small additional fee.

Charakterystyka domu
Bezpieczeństwo, zaufanie i środowisko
My goal in caring for your pet is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your precious fur baby feels happy and secure while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I will always follow your care instructions and routines to help your pet feel at home. I share my home with my two dogs, Roxi and Ace, which allows me to create a calm, dog-focused environment where your pet receives plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I only board dogs in my home to ensure a safe and controlled setting for all pets in my care. Throughout your pet’s stay, I provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel reassured knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and well cared for. I have two designated backyard potty areas, and since we spend most of our time indoors, I focus on enrichment activities such as brain puzzles, sniff mats, hide-and-seek games, fetch, and optional training sessions upon request. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks in quiet neighborhoods or peaceful parks without overwhelming distractions like loud noise or crowded dog areas. I strongly believe in positive reinforcement and reward-based training methods. I will never tolerate harsh treatment or punishment toward pets. My goal is to build trust, confidence, and positive experiences while your dog is in my care. 🩷🐾🌸

Typowy dzień
1. Morning potty break and breakfast as soon as everyone wakes up. 2. Exercise & Activity Time I never leave dogs unsupervised — ever. I adjust activities based on each dog’s personality and energy level. Low-energy dogs enjoy relaxing time with back rubs on the patio or cuddling on the sofa while watching Dog TV. Their main exercise usually includes calm morning walks. High-energy dogs start the day with active playtime, running around with my dog Ace (Roxi prefers relaxing), playing fetch indoors or outdoors, and engaging in brain puzzle activities for mental stimulation. 3. Nap and quiet time to rest and recharge. 4. Midday potty break. 5. Treat time with enrichment activities such as puzzle mats and sniff games. 6. Evening walk in a calm, low-distraction environment. 7. Dinner time (“din din time” 🐾). 8. Evening playtime, bonding, or optional training sessions. 9. Final potty break followed by quiet relaxation time to help everyone settle down and feel calm before bed. 10. Bedtime and cozy sleep time.
