R.I.P Dobby you're my inspiration ❤
Pet care experience
I want to still give out that puppy love I had for my childhood dog Dobby who passed away. I grew up with him and not having a dog around makes the house feel weird. Showing dogs love and affection while their owner are gone sounded like a great idea and honestly, it's been lots of fun. As a Mom of a very active 5 year old, I go out quite a lot. Esmeralda is very sweet and gentle. She might give your dog a hug or even a kiss. Eckhart Park is right up the street. There's a fenced area next door were Esmeralda rides her battery powered bike. Perfect for playing ball. At home I'm loaded with toys, dog bowls and beds but if your dog has something special feel free to bring it. Esmeralda enjoys giving treats when they sit so expect your dog to come home with a treat or 2 in their belly. Please advise if theres any medication or dieting. I would be glad to help your dog. Only pets I have are in tanks. A couple of African Helmeted Sideneck Turtles, ball pythons which are all locked with a key, a leopard gecko, and couple of bearded dragons. I can't do hyper dogs due because I wouldnt want accident with my daughter. Other dog friendly is a must because I do have a couple regular clients :)
Reviews
Barbara did a great job! She was very communicative, my dog came back happy and healthy. Highly recommended!
Barbara did a great job overall. The videos she sent weren’t very clear or long but she communicated well. Unfortunately we had to wait almost an hour outside her home when picking up Charlie.
Genghis enjoyed his stay with Barbara. He had lots of fun playing with other dogs. Barbara sent videos and pictures of Genghis which were super adorable.
Barbara was excellent, she really went above and beyond and treat it my dogs like they were her own! I'm so glad we found her and I would highly recommend others.. My pups were so sad to leave her; they kept running back to her as we were leaving- that's how I know they really enjoyed their time with her. Barbara also sent videos and pictures and plenty of updates every day. I really appreciated that! Thank you sooo much!

I've taken care of different dogs with different needs. Medication, picky eaters, to massages, and of course lots of cuddles. I try to have your dog feel as welcomed and at home as possible.

Information Barbara R. would like to know about your pet
If you have a picky dog, please leave some dog food. I will be having a couple dogs in my house but I have space, beds, water bowls for all. I have three bedrooms and of course living room and dining room. Any breed, as long as they don't bite kids. My daughter knows to be gentle with dogs especially the first night where it might get a bit scary for them since it's a new environment
A typical day
We'll be going at a Eckhart Park and a track by my house we also walk around the neighborhood. Love playing ball & tug of war and like any dog lover we like to pet them all over! While my daughter has her nap, dogs have theirs too :)
