One on one loving care for your pet
Pet care experience
Semi retired after running my own business for 28 years and now have the flexibility to do what I love, be around pets. As my resume shows, I'm responsible and trustworthy and have nannied kids and dogs and raised two really great sons of my own. One an architect and the other still in college and honing his musician skills. I am free as a bird with an open schedule and miss having a dog of my own. I would love to spend time with yours and give them the love all pets deserve. My last dog Jonathan was a Pekinese with more bark than bite and I actually used to sing him to sleep every night. Go ahead and laugh but he loved it and I could pretend I had a good voice.
Reviews
Barbara is the best. I have a sweet, but large, very high energy and not well trained 11 month old puppy. Barbara handles him like a pro and could not be more accommodating to us, the puppy parents, who also are the parents of young human children. This is our first dog ever and she has helped us so much. I cannot speak more highly of her. Thank you!
Thank you for always taking such great care of Harley! I’m sure she is already looking forward to her next stay 😊

I live in a condo complex with only 7 condos where we all know each other and each others pets. My house is very quiet and serene. I'm on a quiet dead end street which is also close to great neighborhoods with sidewalks for safe walking. Also just a short car ride to parks, trails and beaches.

Information Barbara M. would like to know about your pet
It would be great to know your pets unique personality so that I can be prepared to treat him accordingly. Also any special foods, treats or medications. I want them to be comfortable, relaxed and happy.
A typical day
I live in an area with sidewalks for safe walking and am also near the beach and trails. Doggie paradise. I don’t currently have any pets of my own so your baby will get my undivided attention. My home is quiet and peaceful and if your dog wants to hang out on the sofa with me I'm perfectly fine with that. I want your pet to feel safe, secure and comfy.

I still work very part time from home so my schedule is completely my own and very flexible. I love to take walks and would love to have a pet to accompany me.
