The Dogs’ Place

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs and numerous other household and neighbor pets for over 20 years. In 2021, I got my first dog Cerberus, a European Doberman, and have had a lot of fun training him. In 2023, I got Nyla, a Belgian Malinois. Unfortunately, she passed away in March 2024. She was being spayed and her heart stopped while she was under anesthesia and was not able to be resuscitated. She was a very sweet and intense dog who loved to play with all the guest dogs. We miss her everyday.

Words can’t express the care of our Athena that Barnabas gives while we are away. Barnabas is our 1st and only choice when we travel. Thank you again Barnabas!

He did an amazing job! He sent me updates and pictures and videos every day. He made sure Rufus was introduced to the other dogs slowly, to make sure they got along before being together. I think Rufus had a great time and was very happy while he was there!

Information Barnabas B. would like to know about your pet

The biggest things I need to know are whether your dog is fixed, if they are not housebroken, if there are any aggressions issues, and any special care instructions.

A typical day

FAQs: What do I need to bring? Your dog, their food, collar, and leash; optional items include treats, bed/blanket, and toys. Will my dog be crated? Yes, when I am out of the house, at night, and various times throughout the day as the dogs are rotated through their activities. Dogs do not stay crated for more than 3 hours while I am home and they are usually happy to be crated after playtime. Will there be other dogs on site? Almost always. Will you walk my dog? Yes, if they are good on leash. If they are not there are plenty of games I can play with them in the backyard to get them their exercise. Can we do a meet and greet in advance? Yes; however, I will need a minimum of 2 weeks’ notice between when you send the booking request and the start date of the booking request. I may accept last minute booking requests but will not do last minute meet and greets. Other Notes: I send updates between 7am and 7pm each day and try to keep all non emergent communication between those hours. I will not respond to messages sent to me after 9pm at night.
