Pet care experience

Love all animals!

I have loved all animals since I was a small child. I’ve had multiple dogs throughout my life who were all rescues of various ages. I was also blessed to have had the most wonderful horse for 24 years. I have spent the last 30 years working with rescues, (specifically German Shepherds) but have fostered everything from a Chihuahua to a Mastiff. If they have 4 legs (or wings or fins) I love them! I have fostered and nursed many dogs through serious illnesses (canine flu/pneumonia) that came out of animal control facilities so I’m very comfortable with administering medicine, injections and any special needs a pet may have. My last foster had to have both her hips done and there was a lot of very specific care and time that went into her rehabilitation. I treat all animals as if they were my own and go the extra mile. I share my home with my two beloved fur-babies; a Pittie mix and a German Shepherd. Please contact me with any questions about availability.

Barbara was great with my dog and 2 cats. She spent time with them, made sure they had food, water, and my dog her meds. She cleaned up after them and took great care of them all. Would definitely recommend and use her again!
