Services
Barbara can care for
Availability
I am now fully retired and can provide care anytime during the weekdays, and weekends. I'm very much an on-time schedule person you can rely on. I've had not so great experiences in the past finding a pet sitter for myself and I know what people expect for their furry family members . I prefer a meet & greet before taking care of your precious babies, so both you and they are comfortable. You will not be charged for our meet & greet since it is at my request.

About Barbara B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In your home, I give attention and play time to the pets that want it and understand that some are aloof and prefer only their family. Cat pans, pills and special needs do not intimidate me. Experienced in pill administration and dogs that have seizures or are blind as my late pup had both medical conditions. Regarding boarding in my home, I currently I have two cats of my own, therefore I only accept in my home boarding of pets I've had prior in your home visits. I have a full furnished basement that can accommodate boarding for certain types of pets (small dogs & social cats, and small rodents). If you need boarding services, we could schedule a drop in visit to see if my accomodations and your furry family member would be a good fit prior to your scheduled time away.
Information Barbara B. would like to know about your pet
If your dog or cat has a certain way they like to be held, picked up, played with those would all be important to know. It would also be helpful if you could provide an emergency contact of a friend or family during your time away from home, in the event your pet had an emergency.
A typical day
With my cats, we play with birdies on sticks and I have activity mats with a rolling mouse they play with. I am willing to bring my mat if your cat likes that sort of thing. When my elderly little dog was alive, I took her for stroller rides through Mastadon State Park at least 5 days a week. Whatever you pet needs for a fun activity, I'm up for it.

Reviews
Both of our boys just love her!!! She is the best
Barbara was wonderful! She brought toys to play with the kitties, and we even discovered a new one that they will enjoy. She sent videos and updates every day, which put us at ease. Huge thanks to Barbara!!
Barb always goes above and beyond for us and our fur babies! She is the absolute best pet sitter!
Barb is the best. That's all there is to it. She always goes above and beyond to care for our cats, she is an excellent communicator, makes sure she covers all the details, and she truly cares about our animal companions. Honestly I've never been able to fully enjoy a vacation until she came along - no more lingering worry about my cat being cared for or anxious - she provides consistent, adorable updates and cares for them as if they were her own. I cannot recommend her services enough!
