Pick Up & Drop Off Service Available.
We will pick up your pet so you can get on with your busy travel plans. We will return them to you when you return.

 The Barker has limited availability for pet sitting, we are not a kennel we only take up to 2 dogs (friendly) to keep it safe and allows your dog to get all the attention like he or she receives at home. 

Too many dogs at a cage free facility can be dangerous even with the friendliest dogs. Too many dogs together also can be loud and rowdy for the timid dogs. Some dogs like my own are acustomed to a quiet stress free life style and we want to keep it that way for them at The Barker.

Important Questions To Ask Pet Sitters While
Shopping Around:

There are many great pet sitters in the desert but just be sure they are true to what they say.  Our pets are very important parts of our lives and we only want the very best for them!

Here are a few things to ask a pet sitter:

  • How many dogs do the pet sitter take at a time?  Taking too many dogs takes away from your pets special attention.
  • Are the dogs left outside unattended?
  • Is the pet sitter there at all times with the dogs? 
  • If not are the dogs left all together when pet sitter is not there?  
  • How do they know they will not fight?  Too many dogs together have a pack like instinct and one dog can annoy another and it can start a fight between all of them.  Even if your dog has never shown agression, being forced to stay with many dogs all day can be too much.  They should never be left together unattended for a any period of time.
  • If your dog is a barker make sure the facility does not use bark collars or citronella collars.  Dogs bark, that is their way of speaking so if the facility does not tolerate barkers they should not watch them.

Horse Care

Do you have a busy schedule and just can't spend enough time with your horse?

I will groom, lunge and take for nice walks and just spend time with them. No need to ride.  I previously owned a thoroughbred and when I couldn’t visit him everyday he became upset with me and it made riding miserable because he didn’t get the exercise and became lazy.  A stable hand started spending time walking and lunging him when I couldn’t be there and he seemed very happy and my rides were pleasant when I returned.
