“Words can not describe how much i appreciated Barbi for how loving and open arms she is with my pups i truly am so grateful to have stumbled upon her profile!! I needed a sitter for the day after and she did not hesitate to give me a quick response and bring in my 2 pups into her home🙏🏼 NOT ONLY is she communicative, she is alert, and responsive VERY charismatic and welcoming!! She has definitely built a career in the passion she has for animals and I will be having her sit my dogs weekly because I could not find a better person than Barbie to trust with my companions I means she truly left me speechless. She sends pictures throughout the day and has a GREAT amount of space specifically built for these lovely furry friends I’m super impressed with her dedication and her efforts to make these wonderful companions feel comfortable and at home super super happy with her and would recommend 1000/10👏🏼”

About: I have worked with many different animals since I was a child. My specialties include dogs and cats. I have helped others raise many puppies and with potty training! I also work well with senior animals. I have animals of my own that I love so much , and I can’t wait to give your pets the same love ! I have a very flexible schedule everyday but Sundays. Sometimes I can make Sundays work. I just need more of a notice for those days. Every other day I’m available for all your pet needs! At home, I have three dogs and a fenced in yard. They are crate trained, and very happy! I will strive to give your animals the same 100% care. I understand the amount of love one has for their pet, so I strive to treat them like my own! I know not every animal is the same and I would love to work with any of their special needs.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they’ve always been my top priority. They’re like my babies. I have experience with untrained puppies, senior dogs and everything in between. Whether you have a couch, potato or Tasmanian devil they’ll love it at my place. I currently work from home weekdays from 7 AM to 4 PM. I get several breaks and an hour long lunch throughout the day. Dogs are let out every two hours and we go on two walks a day. A 20 minute walk at lunch and an evening walk. Lots of yard and play time after work. I have a fenced yard and friendly dogs of my own. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. This structure helps pets feel secure and reduces anxiety from being in a new place. Each pet has its own designated space for eating and sleeping to prevent any conflicts. I will follow your pet's regular feeding schedule and diet to avoid any digestive upset. I send frequent text or photo updates to keep you connected with your pet's staycation.

About: I was raised to meet the emotional needs of pets in my care, and nurture who they are. My dad trained dogs, and I learned to speak in a way they understand. Because I work from home, I am able to be very attentive. My yard is fully fenced in, and I live with four other responsible adults. A quick story from the pandemic: My parents have a Chihuahua-Pomeranian mix name Jacques. One night when it was just him and me, I noticed it looked like he was straining to eat his crunchy food. He was always picky, but that day I noticed him straining to chew like when we bite into a Gobstopper. I picked him up and drove him to PetSmart. We bought Bil~Jac, the softest, healthiest dog food available for a dog his size. “12 pounds of fresh chicken in a 15 pound bag,” it said. This is not an ad, I swear. I remember the first time he tried his new food. He looked at his bowl, looked at me, looked back at his bowl... then, jumped off the chair where he eats, ran and jumped onto my lap, excitedly licking my whole face! Jacques gained 3 pounds in the next month or so, and he was only 5 pounds before we switched food! I love seeing him healthy and happy. My goal is to treat everyone else’s pets like they are members of my family. Because it isn’t always easy to trust a stranger, I believe that it is more important than ever to be accountable and responsible for anyone under my roof. They all deserve my deepest level of care. I work from home as a full-time entrepreneur, and absolutely love animals! I set my own schedule, take good notes and photos, and am very detail oriented. I have a fully fenced in yard and a reliable car. Whether you need to drop your dog off somewhere safe, or need someone reliable to check in, I am someone you can count on.

In the past I volunteered as a fur baby foster parent and was fur mommy to a beautiful girl "Chula" 🐶 we adopted in 2000 and sadly after 17 years got her wings. My family and I always include our fur babies in everything, at holidays, sometimes it seemed to be more dogs 🐶 of all sizes then people 😊. I want to help you feel at ease and have piece of mind when you are away by providing the utmost respect, fun and care for an important member of the family☺️ I can provide a loving and warm inviroment with 3 arces fully fenced yard. I have cared for chickens, pot belly pigs, birds am always ready to try more 😁 My schedule allows for plenty of time for cuddles, furbaby love, feeding, walks, outside time, potty time and entertaining, or just lounging hanging out 🙂 I offer the utmost respect to others and fur babies! They will receive love and feel at home and most importantly do everything I can for you and your fur baby to be comfortable. We have 3 acres fully fenced in, so plenty of room to let out energy and playtime 🙂
