Pet care experience

A dog's love is the best love!

I've fostered and volunteered with dog rescues for over 20 years. Having grown up with animals I have such a love for them. I've helped with birthing puppies, trained them, and seen them through their senior years. I'm available to care for your dogs 7 days a week. Based on your dogs needs I can walk, feed and give medication. Most importantly I can give them the care they need, while providing you peace of mind. Please know I do modify fees that accommodate your specific requirements.

Doggy Day Care • May 24, 2026

Absolutely terrific! The whole process was extremely easy. Sending pictures of our doggies and seeing how happy and relaxed they were brought so much ease to my mind. This was our first time ever using a pet sitter and we will be using Barb for all future dog sitting needs!

Barb took care of my newly diagnosed diabetic dog, Ted. Last minute my family was nervous to facilitate his shots and blood glucose monitor so I found Barb. She sent photos every day and tracked his numbers. He loved going on walks and I am thankful to know he was safe and cared for. Thank you Barb!

This is the 1st time I have had someone other than family stay with my pups. Needless to say I was initially apprehensive. Barb is amazing. She took care of my pups like they were her own. I recieved pics morning and evening. I could not have asked for anyone better.

A typical day

Everyone has fun things they'd love to do every day. Dogs are no different. Every time there will be something to keep it different, while also increasing their social skills. Special trails, exploring new paths or going to the park, are all options in making a great day, nevermind tasty treats!

Whether your dog loves walking on leash, or if they need training, Perhaps they are scared of various interactions on a walk. Have any medical conditions or behaviors to be aware of. I just want them to be safe, healthy and have fun!
