Care for Your Pet the Way You Would

I have been the loving "mom" of both dogs and cats for over 40 years, and know how much joy and delight they bring to our lives. All our pets were puppies or kittens when we rescued them and I trained them all personally. Our current dog is a friendly, spayed 7-year old Boxer named Lucy (who is up to date on her inoculations). She loves making new friends and having playdates. We have a large backyard (180X80 feet) that is fenced and offers lots of room to romp. I am a retiree seeking a way to stay engaged, helpful and active in my community Whether for a day, a week or an overnight, when you need your "friends" cared for, I'll give each one the same attention, affection and fun you would.

Barbara is the best sitter! She takes care of my cat Lancelot every time we travel. She gives him a lot of love and affection, and will go far and beyond to take care of unexpected things that happen when you travel (like plumbing issues). Thank you, Barbara!

Barbara & her husband took great care of my baby. They have a beautiful back yard that I know my pup enjoyed! Very caring, conscientious people!

Barbara did an excellent job keeping my cat Lancelot happy! And also watering plants when needed, and brining in packages. Thank you!
