Walk & Play While You're Away

Pet care experience

I was born a dog & cat lover and animals take to me quickly - they just sense I understand them. If you are looking for a trustworthy, reliable, responsible dog walker then I'm your gal. I provide individual walks so your dog has personalized attention. I have cared for senior dogs that need special care and love, young dogs, both small and medium. I can do 1-3 walks a day, care for special needs, or do a drop-in visit once in awhile if that is all your schedule requires. Recently I cared for a large dog that had surgery and needed a companion while his parents were away for the night. I'm looking forward to spending some time with your best friend.

5 stars. Barb is very caring and compassionate, which was clear from the moment we met. I know my kitties are in good hands with her!

Barb is so good to my dog. She treats her with so much love. On the days I have to go into the office, I feel so much better knowing she’s getting a nice walk, some affection and a companion. She sends pictures and updates and is very communicative and reliable. Highly recommend Barb!

The dogs love Barb! She made sure they were safe and taken care of on whim while I was miles away on vacation. Barbara updated me when she checked in with my dogs, and she lives close by. Definitely great to help the area out when in need caring for their dogs. I definitely recommend Barbara, and work with her again in the future she’s great!

Information Barb C. would like to know about your pet

Where they like to walk, any quirks to be aware of, if they are social and like other dogs or should be kept to themselves, what treats are allowed, and any noises or things that are stressful to them and are to be avoided.

A typical day

I love to keep your dog engaged and interested by varying the walk route unless your pet is more comfortable with the same daily routine. We are fortunate to leave near the beach and I like to take advantage of the fresh ocean air with beach walks as the season allows.
