Love all animals!

Pet care experience

I have loved all animals since I was a small child. I’ve had multiple dogs throughout my life who were all rescues of various ages. I was also blessed to have had the most wonderful horse for 24 years. I have spent the last 30 years working with rescues, (specifically German Shepherds) but have fostered everything from a Chihuahua to a Mastiff. If they have 4 legs (or wings or fins) I love them! I have fostered and nursed many dogs through serious illnesses (canine flu/pneumonia) that came out of animal control facilities so I’m very comfortable with administering medicine, injections and any special needs a pet may have. My last foster had to have both her hips done and there was a lot of very specific care and time that went into her rehabilitation. I treat all animals as if they were my own and go the extra mile. I share my home with my two beloved fur-babies; a Pittie mix and a German Shepherd. Please contact me with any questions about availability.

ABSOLUTELY recommend Barbara 110%. She took such good care of our Rooney pup. Was always exactly on time, walked further then we usually do, and took the cutest photos and report card while we were away. We hope to work a lot more with Barbara in the future!

Barbara is the best. Very professional and conscientious. She is responsible, prompt, respectful of my home and most importantly takes wonderful care of my Nala. I will definitely continue to use her services.
