Pet care experience

I provide care for dogs, cats, pot bellied pigs, ferrets, fresh water fish and small birds in your home. I have over a decade of animal rescue experience. I have enjoyed taking care of animals, in some capacity, for 45 years! My experience as a kennel manager for a private rescue group included oversight of the physical and emotional health, safety and adoptions of the rescue residents. I currently have a non profit animal rescue in Central Texas with dogs, cats and pot bellied pigs. I am a Registered Nurse and have experience caring for animals with multiple health issues including diabetes, cancer, seizures, arthritis, heart disease and post surgery. I also enjoy a good romp, feather chase or game of ball with a young, healthy animal! I do not breed discriminate and have lots of experience with bully breeds.

Barb was kind, timely and responsive! She made sure to ask a lot of questions about my dogs' needs and personalities. They warmed right up to her - we had no worries while they were in her care!

Loved loved loved Barb D.!!! Very professional and courteous! She walked my precious pups daily for 2 weeks and sent pictures and messages every time! They were so happy when I got home at the end of the day! It was clear that they were very well cared for! We will be calling on Barb again soon!!

Allow me to illustrate the love I have for my pups: I make them home cooked meals twice a day, every day. Even working full time with a commute. I even go so far as tailoring recipes specific to each of my six rescue dogs. Barb and her partner are two of the four people on this planet with whom I could trust the care of my dogs. Full stop. I cannot recommend their services any more highly. Pro tip for fellow rescuers with two or more packs: Barb gets it. Not all of mine get along, and have to be let out in a specific order. Barb takes copious notes and learns routines very quickly. She absolutely grasps the importance. TL;DR: Hire Barb. She's the bestS

Barb and Michelle are excellent and dependable people!!! They have house and pet sitted for me many times. Don't know how I could ever leave town without their help. Barb is very qualified even on the medical end of things and Michelle has a way with all types and personalities of pets. You can't go wrong using these ladies BUT remember if I have booked them, they are all mine!! LOL
