Happy Paws Pet Sitting/Dog Walking

I have 10 years of experience and I went to an animal and plant science class. I grew up with animals and they are my life. Right now I just have a cat which is was abandoned in twice and then we took her in and I love her so much couldn’t ask for anything better than her. I pour my heart and soul into the pets that I care for. I am a very reliable and trusted person. I am very excellent with dogs and I also love cats. I can walk your dog anytime of the day. I have loved animals ever since I was young. I love all kinds of dogs. I would do whatever you would like me to do with your dog like walk it, play with it. Being with an animal makes me very happy. I love them. I would love to care for your dog when you are not around. I do dog walking and overnights. I am an animal lover I treat them just like I would treat mine. I will bring them for long walks which they enjoy very much. Please contact me if you need someone to care for for pup.

House Sitting • jul. 08, 2022

As others have said, I was nervous about leaving my dog, and Barbara did a good job taking care of my dog and my house. Barbara also fed a fish, and watered some outdoor plants that needed daily watering. Barbara was punctual with every appointment (the meet and greet, the pre-trip visit, and the final hand-off), which was reassuring. Barbara was easy-going, and didn’t need particular accommodations or TV/streaming access. I appreciated that Barbara would have arrived in the middle of the night, if I had needed that for the hand-off! When I came home, my dog seemed well-adjusted, not stressed. Thanks, Barbara!

I was very nervous about leaving my 2 cats, I've not left them in 4 years. My older cat who is 15 needs meds twice per day. Barbara sent me pictures of the cats multiple times during the stay and was quick to respond to me when I checked in. Both cats were happy to see me, but obviously well cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again! Sue

Barbara was absolutely awesome for us! She went above and beyond what was expected. Our travel plans got totally messed up with flight cancellations and changes. Meanwhile, she was flexible and really saved the day for us!

Barbara was great with the overnight with our dachshund! She sent pictures of our boy and replied quickly to my questions. She also was very neat and it was almost like she hadn’t been there! I would definitely recommend Barbara to other pet parents, and I hope she will stay with Pi again if we need to go out of town and can’t take him with us. 10/10 would recommend :)

Barbara did a fantastic job with our pets. They were happy and well cared for. When we returned from vacation, the house was immaculate - freshly cleaned! I would definitely rebook with Barbara and highly recommend her!
