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 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!!!
I know my cat is in good hands with Barbara. She takes care of Cinnamon as if she was her own kitten. I love the pics and videos of their interactions!
I think my cats may love Barbara more than me. She is great with not only the cats, but also communication.
This was our 2nd time booking with Barb. She adapted well and adjusted her approach with our senior kitty who is on medications, as he had some challenges during the first few visits. She was patient with him and utilized her knowledge and expertise to administer his medications. Our other two babies enjoyed the visits. All three loved all the treats and lovins.
Barb did so well with our cats while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond to take care of them and we appreciate it so much. She is so kind and sweet to the pets. It made us relax a little better on vacation knowing she was loving on them for us. Thanks again Barb!

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.
