Availability
My current schedule is very flexible and works well with my availability for pet care. I attend school part-time and also work part-time, which allows me to maintain a balanced routine while still having plenty of time throughout the week for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. Because my commitments are structured but not full-time, I’m able to plan my days in advance and dedicate focused, reliable time to each pet I care for. I’m naturally active, so incorporating dog walks into my routine fits easily into my lifestyle. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent care, attention, and reliability for each dog while maintaining a well-organized schedule.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep the pet comfortable and stress-free. I make sure to follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special care needs. I also spend time with the pet so they feel safe, relaxed, and not alone while their owner is away. For dogs, I include walks and playtime based on their energy level and usual routine. I always keep the home clean and make sure everything is left as it was found. I also provide updates so owners know how their pet is doing.
Information Barbara B. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for a pet, I like to know about their daily routine, personality, energy level, and any special needs they may have. It’s also important to know about feeding schedules, medications, favorite activities, behavior around other dogs or people, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and safe. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make sure your pet feels relaxed, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
A typical day
A typical day depends on each pet’s personality and routine, but I always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. For dogs, I enjoy going on walks, playing fetch, spending time outdoors, and giving them time to explore and stay active. I also make sure they have calm time to relax and feel comfortable, especially senior dogs or dogs that may be more anxious. I like keeping pets engaged, happy, and feeling safe while maintaining the routine they are used to at home. I also provide updates and photos so owners can see how their pets are doing throughout the day.

Pawsome Walks & Loving Care 🐾🐾
Pet care experience
Hi! I’m originally from Brazil and have been around dogs my entire life. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s a big part of who I am. I worked for many years as a personal trainer, so I’m very active, disciplined, and attentive to each dog’s needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just calm companionship, I’m happy to adapt. I’ve also helped my brother with his NGO in Brazil that rescues and rehabilitates stray dogs, helping them transition into loving homes. Through this experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all temperaments—including shy, anxious, and high-energy dogs—so I understand how to build trust and make them feel safe. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, including those who need medications and extra attention. I’m comfortable administering pills and liquid medications, and I carefully follow feeding schedules and care instructions. I’m patient, gentle, and focused on making older dogs feel calm and comfortable. Why choose me? • Lifelong experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities • Comfortable with energetic dogs and long walks • Experienced with senior dogs, medications, and strict routines • Patient with rescue dogs and those needing extra care • Responsible, punctual, and detail-oriented • I treat every dog like my own My Services: • Dog walking (short or long walks) • Drop-in visits • Dog sitting What you can expect: I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos, so you always know your dog is happy and safe. My goal is to give you peace of mind while giving your dog a great experience. Safety & Trust: Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I follow all instructions carefully and make sure your dog feels comfortable, secure, and cared for at all times. Fun fact: I speak Portuguese and English, and I love spending time outdoors—perfect for dogs who enjoy exploring! Looking forward to meeting you and your Furbabies! 🐶
Reviews
My parents have 2 dogs that needed to be cared for when they travel, a big male American Akita and a small female Shitzu. Barbara was always the one person they would go for because the dogs loved her. She always took great care of them while my parents where gone, making sure they were happy, fed and entertained.
