Pet care experience
I do ask for a Meet & Greet. Please plan ahead if it is your first time to board here. I also ask that the dogs who come here are fully potty trained to go outside. I have a house with a fenced in yard and a doggie door - so the dogs are able to really enjoy the outside too. And I enjoy having visits from all the small dogs. I am also happy to stay in close contact with frequent Emails & photos so you can see and hear about your little one while you're away. I have had dogs all my life and can't imagine… life without them! I have been doing dog boarding for 14+ years now and love it! Please note: I work from home and so am here ALMOST 24/7. I do, of course, need to run personal errands and do go out to lunch with friends from time to time. Why I love dog sitting My family had dogs when I was growing up since I can remember. I have always loved dogs! They have the purest hearts on this earth! About my yard Both my front and back yards are fenced separately. The back yard is available by a doggy door. The front yard is when we all go out together. My experience administering medication I have administered oral medication and eye drops and am willing to do that. I generally do not charge extra for this if it is one or two simple things. However, I do reserve the right to charge extra in the case of a more intense medication regiment. I have never given a shot to anyone or any dog.

Thank you Barbara for taking care of Coco so well!!! I appreciate so much your knowledge and advice too. Coco will be ready to see you again in a couple of weeks!!! 😄😄
This is our first time using Barbara as a sitter, she took care of our girl for a week and it went excellent. Barbara send me updates every day making us feel at ease. She goes in depth during the interview and I loved it because she really wants to know about your pet before approving the stay. I will definitely use Barbara's services next time.
Perfect fit ! Very responsive and strong communication throughout ! Great experience we would use again!
Barbara did a great job with my little nipper.

I have a fenced in yard and my little guests have free run of the house. The doggy door goes out into the back yard which is separately fenced.
Home
Information Barbara S. would like to know about your pet
No breed preference, but I only watch small dogs. The dogs must be no more than 15lbs fully grown. I would want to know any information the owner can give me to help make the time in my home better for all.
A typical day
Your dog's sleeping arrangement I like to leave that up to the owners. I want to continue the care that the dog is accustomed to. If the dog sleeps in the bed at home, he is welcome to sleep with us as well. I also have clients who have their dogs crate trained and so I will have those dogs sleep in their crates. Time I'll spend with your dog I work from home and so am here almost 24/7. I love to be in the yard with the dogs and/or cuddling in the house.
