Safety Policies

None of the Barkmore House guests are ever outside of the fenced yard without a leash. They are never outside unsupervised or left alone with other dogs; they eat only their regular diet and no people food (unless requested); all-natural, high-quality treats and premium quality, non-splintering chews are provided under supervision if the parents permit it. Our guests are not allowed to meet people or dogs on walks, nothing small or dangerous is left on floors or counters and our 4.5′ double-fenced yard has a puppy barrier to keep small dogs in the yard. We do not open our front door until the dogs are behind closed doors and gates and we have an additional gate on our front porch, providing an extra barrier. All guests must be up-to-date on their vaccinations and wear a collar. We do not accept dogs that have any history or concerns related to fence-jumping or aggression. When playing outside on hot or cold days, we go into the house for frequent breaks. If there is anything we have not thought of, please message us and we will address your concerns.

WHY I LOVE DOG SITTING
Dogs are the only beings on Earth that can know you completely and love you anyway. They are content just being in your presence. I find it impossible to be in a bad mood with a dog in the room, which is why dogsitting has made me happier than I've ever been in my life.
ABOUT MY YARD
We have a large backyard that is fully fenced, with a puppy barrier to keep the little ones in. They have full access to the yard and can come in and out as they please so they get plenty of exercise and sunshine! The dogs enjoy lounging in the temperature-controlled gazebo in addition to taking plenty of AC or fireplace breaks!
MY EXPERIENCE ADMINISTERING MEDICATION
All of our own dogs have lived full, happy lives well into their senior years. Having been parents to older dogs, we've become proficient at administering oral and injected medications and cooking special meals to accommodate special dietary needs.

Hollie, Joe and their kids are my life saver. I cannot thank them enough for taking care of my two boys. Although they had problems with one of my dogs, they stick with them . I am extremely happy and I highly recommend them.

Hollie was amazing! We met before my vacation to make sure it was a good fit. I was so nervous to leave him, but she was so kind. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day, every day. She took great care of my boy, and I will definitely board with her again!

Hollie watched our dog Joplin while we were away for a week and based on all of the awesome photos she sent us daily, Joplin had an amazing time. 🙂 Hollie and her family love dogs and I’m happy to have found such a great local sitter.
