A Dog's Life. Trails & Treats
Pet care experience
I'm a massage therapist who works at an in-home studio. Riley's my sidekick. We go hiking every morning for at least an hour as well as neighborhood strolls throughout the day. Dogs have been part of my family for over 20 years and I've been dog sitting for that whole time. I love to spend time on Bend's wonderful trails daily and the dogs love it. We have a comfortable house with cozy dog beds and a fenced backyard. We live near beautiful Shevlin Park, Discovery Park, and only a few minutes drive from National Forest trails. Healthy treats and belly rubs are in abundance! For dog walks in your neighborhood, I provide plenty of time for your dog to sniff, explore, and get some good exercise.
Reviews
Barrie is the perfect dog caregiver. She is kind, loving and extremely responsible. She goes the extra mile to make Jagger feel loved and this means the world to us. I trust her 100% and I always know that she will take the best care of Jagger when I can’t be there. I highly recommend her to all dog parents.
Barrie is more than a dog sitter. She is a dog adventure leader. If your dog stays with her, your dog might not ever want to come home because he/she will have the best adventures in the best places Central Oregon can offer. An added bonus is that you will get great photos of your dog not missing you because it is having the best time ever. Barrie is also a kind person, good communicator, and dependable. She will take good, loving care of your pup.

Fenced backyard. When I’m home, and weather allows, I leave back door open so that your dog can choose to be inside or outside throughout the day,

Information Barrie R. would like to know about your pet
My preference is for dogs that like to hike off-leash 2-4 miles, are leash-comfortable, don’t jump on furniture, and are friendly with other dogs. My day revolves around quality time with my dog and making sure she has fun!
A typical day
Forested and uncrowded trails for morning hike, sidewalk strolls in late afternoon. Bring their bed, favorite toy or treat, and we will treat your dog like part of the family.

Availability
We go on a dog hike of up to a few miles every morning and a neighborhood walk every afternoon. Lots of backyard time and healthy treats available. I see work clients in the afternoons, 90-min appointments with breaks between each one to tend to dogs. My dog Riley is a friendly and low-key companion for your dog.
