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.
Ratings and reviews
Barb is the best! She makes sure our cat does not feel neglected while we are gone!
arb recently did pop in house visits for our cat, Louie, for 11 days, and she was absolutely incredible! She sent us tons of pictures, videos, and detailed updates every day, so we always knew how things were going. I never once worried about someone being in our home, and I always felt completely confident that Louie was getting the very best care, probably even better than if we had been home with him! 😂 She even left the sweetest notes and some hilarious pictures of Louie for us, which honestly made our day when we got home. 🥹❤️ We 100,000% recommend Barb and will absolutely be using her services again! If you are looking for someone you can truly trust with your pets and your home, Barb is the one! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Barb did a great job with our cat Gizmo! His food and litter areas were clean and well kept. She sent videos from her visits and you can tell Gizmo took to her well and had a great time playing.
We have used Barbara as a sitter for our boys several times and she is simply fantastic every time!!!
Barb was absolutely above and beyond when it came to watching our cats while we were away on our honeymoon. We felt so confident knowing that they were in good hands while we were away! She even left us cute prints of the cats and a nice handwritten card for us for when we return. She’s the best!
Barbara is fantastic in every way!!!

Schedule
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.
