Puptastic Staycation @ Barkshire 🏡
🐾 Save $20 on your first Rover booking with my code: JW87502 🐾 Welcome to Barkshire Lodge! I’ve been momma to cats, kittens, puppies, and dogs for more than 30 years - the last few as a foster mom for a local animal rescue organization. In between, I’ve happily cared for our neighbors’ and extended family’s fur babies while they’re away or have relatives in town. I enjoy teaching all dogs new tricks and responsibly spoil our visitors to ensure they fold into our family dynamic easily with little stress.

Ratings and reviews
Another amazing time for Copper with Janin! He gets so excited to go to her house and she always sends great updates. Copper loves going to “camp” with her!
Janin and Bruce treat Peach like family. Peach is so happy Everytime she realizes where we are. I cant’t recommend Janin highly enough!
Grazer seemed to have a great time with Janin and looked happy and relaxed in every photo she sent. Janin had excellent communication throughout the stay and shared the perfect amount of updates and pictures, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She was also fantastic to work with while helping us navigate a newer process — a true professional from start to finish. We’d absolutely book with her again.
Janin is great! Highly recommend!
Janin is amazing! She takes such wonderful care of my dog and is so kind and understanding. I will continue to book boarding and daycare with her as much as I can.
Fantastic easy for everyone first stay for Lucy!!

Schedule
My husband and I work from home which allows us to fully engage with your pup. We also have two children, the youngest being 11. They enjoy snuggling and playing with our visitors and are great at keeping them company.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
📍 Upon check-in, all guests receive AirTags/GPS locators to wear for the duration of their visit. We live on five fenced acres with a smaller fenced in area as a backyard. During good weather, this gives us the opportunity to take walks and exercise safely multiple times a day. For rainy season exercise, we’ve converted our heated garage to an inside doggy playland. We also have a separate area inside our home where we can comfortably quarantine animals recovering from surgery or who might just be a little too shy in the beginning to jump in the mix. Our AC and wood floors keep pups cool and comfortable through summer and our cozy fireplace, blankets and pet beds keep them warm in winter. For your safety and ours: We require Bordetella, Distemper, Rabies, and a clean fecal test performed within the month to keep all our guests safe. Note also, our liability insurance prohibits us from taking guard/working dogs, namely: German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, Dobermans, Boxers, Akitas, Chows, Huskies and other sled dogs.
Pets
A typical day
Our days will be filled with exploring the sights, sounds and smells of our five acres. We’ll be outside anywhere from 2-4 hours a day depending on the weather. We have lots of toys, and playing fetch and chase are go-to activities for all our guests. In the evening, expect to snuggle up and hang with the family while we watch tv, read or play games.
