About Barb F.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
First I require a complimentary MEET n GREET to see if I am a good fit and your pet and myself will be comfortable and safe. Please provide any important info about your pet including allergies, specific behaviors, breed information, feeding schedule, potty schedule, medications, etc. For neighborhood dog walks I would like to see the routine with a quick walk with you and your pet at the meet n greet. Safety and trust is very important :-)
Information Barb F. would like to know about your pet
It is important for a pet sitter to be informed of any special needs or behaviors beforehand. This is a great opportunity to ask questions and to let me know if there are any specific behaviors to be aware of (separation anxiety, biting, allergies, social skills with people and other pets, feeding, medication, and bathroom schedule). Let me know of any breed specific information. Safety, trust, and environment is very important to me. At the meet n greet we will determine if the pet will be comfortable and the sitter will be safe. A complimentary Meet n Greet is highly recommended so we can get acquainted with the pets and learn the routines.
A typical day
We will walk or run and play outside around the neighborhood or in a fenced in back yard. Games with dog toys are so much fun with a lot of interaction and praise.

Pet care experience
Spring/Summer UPDATES: Starting in June I will only be available as needed. I will not be available very much during the summer. My calendar is left open for now so message me as I may be available here and there. I have wonderful Rover substitutes on days I am unavailable and can provide all the details when needed. Also I will not be accepting new families. A bit about me! I am a former special ed teacher and early childhood teacher for over 20 years! I love all animals! I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I have taken care of my own personal dogs and cats for over 30 years. As a pet owner my entire life, I enjoy spending time with fur babies and have taken care of any needs. I have personal experience with caring for special needs pets, older pets, and giving medication as needed. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your fur babies happy! I love to share photos of your fur babies at the visits for the utmost assurance that they are happy and well cared for.
