Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I work from home and have a 3-year-old Chihuahua-mix of my own. Because I’m home throughout the day, pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. Working from home also gives me the flexibility to easily fit in home visits and drop-ins throughout the local area (pre/post-work and lunch breaks) while still maintaining a consistent schedule for the pets in my care. I’m very comfortable building walks, feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and cuddle time into my day while adapting to each pet’s individual needs and personality.

About Barbara A.

Safety, trust & environment
Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, loved, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, energy level, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions so they receive individualized care and attention. In my home, pets have a calm environment with plenty of supervision since I work from home, along with a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and play. Pets are rarely left alone for long periods and receive lots of companionship, potty breaks, exercise, and affection throughout the day. In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their usual routine for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I’m very respectful of both pets and homes and always aim to provide reliable, attentive care that helps owners feel at ease while they’re away. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and video updates so owners can see how their pets are doing and feel connected while they’re gone.

Pet care experience
I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for pets of all kinds - including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds, fish, frogs, and more. Over the past 10 years, I’ve also cared for diabetic dogs of my own, giving me hands-on experience with checking glucose levels, administering medication, and providing attentive care for pets with special medical needs. I also have ample experience caring for senior pets and am very comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I’m happy to follow strict feeding schedules, dietary requirements, medication routines, and care instructions to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free. Because I work from home, pets are rarely left alone for long periods and receive plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and potty breaks throughout the day. I know how important peace of mind is while you’re away, so I’m also happy to provide regular photo and video updates if desired. My home features an acre with a fenced backyard in a quiet neighborhood, creating a calm and secure environment for pets to relax and play. I treat every animal like family and strive to make them feel loved, comfortable, and cared for from the moment they arrive.
