Pet care experience

Your pet will be loved and spoiled!

I have 50+ years of experience with a plethora of animals. Since I was a child, I have had various types of animals as pets and I have learned to care, love, respect, and totally adore them. I taught all 6 of my children how to love and care for animals, and they all have many pets that they absolutely adore and love. I have helped taken in strays, nourished them back to health and then found homes for them. Over the years, I have also helped deliver severals litters of puppies. I find it complete joy to care for animals. I have a deep love for animals as I believe they are blessings from God. They give unconditional love and I am here to give your pet unconditional love too. You will not have to worry about your animal while they are under my care. I am retired and I am home all day. I look forward to caring, spoiling, and loving on your pet!!

Barbara was amazing with Blink! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt totally at ease. She sent tons of photos and videos every day and kept me regularly updated, which I really appreciated. Blink looked happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for the entire time. It was obvious she treated him like her own and paid close attention to his needs. I’d absolutely book with Barbara again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and caring dog sitter.

Barbara took such good care of my dogs! She took them on walks and to the park and I could tell they had had a great time when I picked them up! I will definitely be asking Barbara to take care of them in the future! She’s also a sweetheart so there’s that:)

Barbara was so sweet and took such great care of our little Chucho. She took him on trail walks and to the dog park everyday and just loved on him the whole time he was there. He was very well cared for and I know he absolutely loved her! I would definitely recommend Barbara, your pet will be in great hands!
