Pet care experience

I am the person that goes to a party and plays with dogs there. I love all dogs big and small. I have personal experience with senior dogs especially those with mobility issues. I also have experience with administering medications and treatments to dogs. I am a retired pediatric RN. My dogs and those i care for are my four legged furry children. I know how important it is to keep in touch when you are away. Pictures and texts will be sent at least daily unless you request otherwise . I have loved animals since i was a child and have cared for dogs and cats in all stages of life I am currently retired and have a flexible schedule. I am available for walks or visits for both dogs and cats. I am available on weekends and many holidays I care for all the pets i visit or walk as i would care for my own. I enjoy playing with them and making sure they ate cared for as you would

Barbara was amazing! This was our first time ever leaving our kittens, so we were pretty nervous, but she made the whole experience so easy. She was incredibly attentive, thorough, and responsive, and her updated and photos gave us so much peace of mind. We came back to two very happy kittens!
