Your Dog is a Friend I Have Not Met

Pet care experience

Complimentary Meet and Greet Licensed in Cape Coral and Lee County Registered in the State of Florida USDA Class T Certification I have a life long love and passion for dogs and in training to become a state certified dog trainer. My main focus is training therapy and service dogs. In my younger life I worked with hunting dogs. Trained hounds for show. I have transported pets cross country and do provide local pet taxi services. Being retired I can finally devote my time to doing something I totally enjoy. My unconditional love for all dogs will show when I am taking care of yours. OVERNIGHT STAYS The ultimate pet care in your home. Your pets might miss you but will still enjoy the human interaction they want and need. At our Meet and Greet we will customize all pet care needs from A to Z. My charges are very transparent and can be adjusted to meet your expectations. Your pets and home will be my # 1 priority. Keeping your pets normal routine is what is most important. DROP IN VISITS I am dog lover with genuine love for all animals making sure all your pets get the care they need. I will stop by for a potty break, food, water, and provide some play full company for all your dogs and other pets. I can give oral medicine if needed. Maybe it’s a small walk or playing some ball. If your dog is lazy I can do that to. A little love and company is all they need. I will give them that during my visit. DOG WALKING AVAILABLE I have walked hundreds of dogs big and small. Even though we think a potty break is most important the truth is that I believe what is most important is it helps the dog’s anxiety of being alone. I let them enjoy this time as much as me. Providing some love and bonding along the way is very important. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and well being will always be my first priority when your dogs are with me. I will always make sure they drink water and maybe even a treat. If they happen to need fed I will take care of that during our visit.

Barry was great! Our pup absolutely loved him and he took excellent care of her during the drop-in visits. She was well exercised and tuckered out!

Dash LOVED Barry and was a happy and well-exercised dog when we got home. He also wants to sleep with us now. 🤪 Thanks, Barry!

We have used Barry a few times and he is the best dog watcher in the world. My dogs love him and we trust him 100% to have access to our home and do overnights with our furry kids. He constantly gave us updates on how they doing, pictures every day and let us know when he arrived and left our babies. We could not expect anything better than what we get from Barry.

Information Barry W. would like to know about your pet

Your dog’s happiness, safety, and well being is my first and only priority when I am with your dog or dog’s. The more I know the better starting with feeding habits. I will always provide feedings based on your instructions. If your dog has any special needs or health issues I would like to know. Things your dog loves or hates. If you could take the time on your dog’s Rover profile and update as much as you can it helps me in providing the greatest care I can. I know some first aid but will need all emergency numbers and preferred Vet. I welcome Meet and Greets at anytime. They are so important for all. Feel free to contact me anytime for me to meet you and your dog.

A typical day
