Information Barbara S. would like to know about your pet

I would appreciate a brief note of likes, dislikes and anything else to help make the stay better for them and us. They will be out of sorts anyway but we try to make them feel at ease during their stay.

A typical day

We will take multiple walks during the day and I have a nice fenced yard if they want that. If they want they can sit on the sofa with me while I watch tv at night.

Pets

I'll treat your dog like family.

Pet care experience

Anyone who knows me knows I love dogs and prefer their company to most people I’ve met. I will spoil your dog as if he/she is mine. I have had dogs in my life since I was 5. They bring so much joy and it’s a relief to know you can go away and not worry about their care. They will be in great hands with me and my husband. We are both patient, easy going and calm. There will be no loud noises, upset or contention. Their needs will be first during their stay with us. They may not want to leave after a stay at my house. I would love repeat visits. I work full time but my husband is retired so he’s home all the time. When your doggie stays with us he will get constant attention. While your dog is with us they will become part of our family. They will be treated like I’ve treated my own dogs. This is why we have so many repeat clients. The dogs feel very comfortable in our home.

Barbara is a wonderful host. We would definitely use her again. My mom’s dog, Miles, was well taking care of.

Barbara and her husband were wonderful caregivers for our Laci. I appreciated the pictures over the weekend, Laci was clearly adjusting fine to her first stay at someone else’s home. It made our time away for a wedding more relaxed knowing she was happy and well cared for.❤️
