Safety, trust & environment

Customized to fit your dog’s lifestyle. I have extra crates, a guest bedroom, can feed seperately, really can adapt to what suits you and your dog. Obviously we would not be a good fit if your dog is not socialized around other pets. We have hosted many dogs and it usually will take a little time for everyone to relax but I am experienced in expediting this process and seeing what makes the pups most comfortable. Not a good fit if your dog barks constantly (mostly because this aggravates my dog Bowie who already has anxiety) and for puppies: I can not watch your puppies if they are destructive. I have already had a puppy chew through a really nice dog crate furniture piece when they were placed for feeding time and destroy 2 of my dog beds of which I ate the cost- no pun intended. Puppies must be trained or on a path towards learning.

Information Barbara T. would like to know about your pet

Just their temperament around other humans and dogs and really anything you think I should know! Dogs with severe separation anxiety may not be the best fit because I wouldn’t want my dogs to add any additional stress. Feel free to reach out and discuss with any questions or concerns. No dogs that constantly bark No dogs that are destructive

A typical day

Fetch in the yard, bone time, walks around the area (solo or duo) the park, belly rubs, watch movies/slumber parties, backyard chillin- if its cold I will attempt to find indoor stimulation activities like watching animal planet with some bones to chew on hah

Pet care experience

Hi fellow dog parents! Welcoming my home and yard to doggies.I have fostered and adopted out 11 dogs, and have two of my own, a chocolate lab Lucy and a Rottie Mix Bowie. Have cared for many Rover pups. 6 foot fenced yard with security camera on all times! It will be a lot more of fetch and cuddles. There is a doggy door for them to freely go potty as they like. I am in Mar Lee 80219. Reach out!

I had a wonderful experience with Barbara sitting for me over the Thanksgiving holiday. Great communication and peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands.

Barbara was amazing and I felt so comfortable with her watching my dog over Thanksgiving. She was so attentive and updated me throughout the week. She is my new go-to!

Barbara did an amazing job with Winslow over the long weekend. She went so above and beyond. She gave him a bath, cleaned his bed, and even sent him home with a magnet picture of him. I would highly recommend Barbara to anyone looking to board their dog.
