Information Barbara S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what are your pet's favorite activities, dietary needs/restrictions and other ways to make them comfortable. Please also feel free to bring favorite toys, bed, and/or blanket, so we can do everything we can to make them feel right at home!

A typical day

Our neighborhood has a great 3-mile loop and even off-road trail through wooded areas for shade and a change of scenery. We can play fetch and tug-of-war in the yard and then snuggle up at the end of the day. A typical day would include at least a 30-minute morning and afternoon/evening walk and frequent outdoor trips, lots of petting and attention.

I've cared for pets since I was 7 and love all animals. It was hard to lose our dog a few years ago and are not quite ready for our own, but we are ready to open our home to help care for yours.

Barb and her family are great. They took great care of our dog and provided regular updates. Lots of walks and outside time. Highly recommend!

Barbara was amazing, she was able to take Lucy due to a family emergency and did such a wonderful job! Pictures every day of Lucy going on walks and snuggling with her family were very comforting. I am and will continue to be a repeat customer!

This is the second time my Boston Terrier Benjamin has stayed with Barbara. She takes great care of him and keeps me updated with texts and photos daily. Benjamin is on a specialized diet and medication and I trust Barbara to meet his needs. Benjamin also enjoys cuddling with Barbara's 2 kids. I would recommend Barbara without hesitation and definitely plan on Benjamin staying with her again.
