This was our second time using Barbara and once again, she took such great care of our girl. She sent tons of pictures and updates and made us feel confident that our dog was well cared for. Our dog had lots of fun playing with other dogs under Barbara’s care. Highly recommend!

Barbara is absolutely amazing dog sitter. She loves them with all her heart. She’s really caring for each of them. She has so nice aura that’s why you can trust her very much. I had no concerns about leaving my loved dog under her supervision. She really knows what the dog needs, what to do to make the dog feeling comfortable and safe. And happy. Taking the dog out every day, playing with the dog, making sure the dog is not hungry and thirsty, and creating nice personal space for the dog, is the best way to keep the dog happy and comfortable. That’s why the dog is not feeling alone, because Barbara is giving him all what the dog needs. Amazing thing was taking by Barbara so many pictures of my dog and sending them to me every day, so I could see my little love, and make sure that everything is okay. I knew that my dog is in really good hands.

Barbara is fantastic. She has watched my 8-year old Shih Tzu for a weekend and then 10 days. Both times Barbara was responsive, easy to communicate with, kept me updated, and was understanding when my flight was cancelled! My dog loved staying with Barbara. She has a nice yard, takes them for walks, and even has a wide variety of toys for the dogs to play with. My dog also lost an eye and takes eye medication. Barbara had no trouble giving him the medication and also made sure his face was clean (not easy with Shih Tzus but important)! She is my go to dog sitter and a pleasure to work with!!

Safety, trust & environment

I provide care for your pets off the directions and specifications provided. All pets are completely unique and have different needs and levels of care. I enjoy providing extra attention and play to dogs who have anxiety. This can get overlooked when families are busy in their routines, or the dog is a rescue, and this is so important for pet wellness.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dog physically and mentally. We’ll play some games, check out all the new smells in my neighborhood, and explore a big park near my house.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I will can account for. My preference are dogs that can get along with other dogs and have basic command training.
