We had a strict crate and rotate policy at our home. Our residents do not interact with dogs that we board. Depending on the dogs needs and abilities, we love to go on runs, hikes, and long walks. We are crazy about dogs, and naturally love to take and send a lot of pictures and video updates If requested.

Experienced & Reliable Pet Care 🐾

Pet care experience

My partner and I have been volunteering with animal rescue organizations for the last seven years. We take annual trips to Arkansas to help build and clean shelters. We have helped around 70 foster dogs find their forever homes. To say we are passionate about dogs would be an understatement. Our years of fostering have given us plenty of experience taking care of all sorts of dogs: senior dogs, puppies, dogs with medical needs, dogs with minor to moderate behavioral issues, etc.

What a great experience! We had a hard time finding the best place to leave our boy when we traveled. Barry was excellent. Our dog seemed very happy ate well and was able to be his quirky self. It made our travels easier and more enjoyable, knowing he was in a good safe kind space.

Barry was wonderful with my very active Belgian Malinois. He took him on runs and wore him out. I was extremely impressed how Barry really understood what my dog needed to keep him stimulated. I got many photos and videos during my time away and felt assured he was in a good place. I was very pleased with his service and would highly recommend him to others.

We went out of the country for ten days and needed a sitter for our dog which included Thanksgiving. Barry was excellent and Hazel seemed very happy and he returned her bathed and clean! Thank you so much for taking such good care of her, we really appreciated the pictures and updates every day. I will definitely be reaching out in the future.

Will continue to book with Barry time and time again. He’s wonderful, patient and super accommodating. My dog Rex absolutely loves him!
