Pet care experience

Large Fenced Yard, Organic Treats

Hello all, I'm taking a hiatus from the PT and have been a professional dog boarder for 10 years. I work remotely so your dog will get a lot of attention, affection , organic whole food treats (green minerals, tuna, healthy snacks) daily walks, a lot of play time in a huge fenced backyard. In the summer, they have complete access throughout the day. I take them to the River:bike path .5 miles away, the school and walks around the neighborhood. And with consent, to Zumwalt dog park out in Veneta. I rarely take more than 3 dogs at one time. 2 dog beds, couch, occasional in bed (for those needy fur babies. As a former PTA, I give attention to dog’s body mechanics and often massage spinal muscles. Background in dog nutrition with healthy treats and suggestions. Will educate clients on how to maximize their dogs health. What I require from dogs are: zero aggression (food, toy, etc.). Please bring : dog bags, food dishes, leashes, all medication . I do have a few spare beds .

Safety, trust & environment

I offer bully sticks, grain free treats, toys, deer antlers, etc. I leave the back door open for all day access (in the summer), and in the winter, I take them out back at least 5 times a day. There is a kiddy pool, balls, frisbees, etc.

Barbara took great care of our senior Goldendoodle for the weekend. Communication was great and our dog was happy and relaxed when we picked her up. Will definitely have Barbara board our dog again!!

Our Brittany, Beau, had a great weekend with Barb... long walks, playing chase with her dog, Selah, in her big fenced yard, and lots of cuddles. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay.

Barbara took great care of our dog while we were out of town. She gave her lots of love and attention and sent us pictures everyday. Barbara is knowledgeable, conscientious, kind and is home with the dogs all day. They can be in the house or out in the large, fenced yard, but will not spend their time in a crate or pen. With all the love, treats, games and special attention I feel like Barbara actually runs a doggie day-spa! We do not need a sitter often, but I am so glad to know that Barbara is here when I need her. I fully recommend her!
