Walk, run and have fun! 😊💗

Pet care experience

I have over 30 years experience with dogs, from toy to giant breeds. I currently have two Great Danes, Apollo, who is a 8-year-old blind Harlequin, and Otis, who is a 2-year-old Merle Mantle with tons of puppy energy. These are our third, and most recently fourth, Great Dane rescues, and I cannot imagine life without these gentle giants. I am very enthusiastic about canine behavior and socialization, along with the importance of physical activity, which lends so much benefit to positive behaviors along with positive physical health. I really enjoy seeing a dog that is well-exercised and happy, and I am certainly looking forward to meeting your fur babies and taking them for some great outdoor adventures. As an avid runner/walker myself, I love to share my time outdoors. I hope that you will decide to have your fur babies tag along with me!

Barbara was amazing! She was extremely flexible when our flight was cancelled and was more than willing to change around the schedule of the stay. During the stay she sent pictures twice a day with an update on how our dog and cat were doing. I felt very comfortable with having her stay at our apartments and trusted her to take good care of our pets. She even reached out to Rover for us after we were mistakenly charged a cancellation fee, and was able to get our money refunded for that. I would highly recommend booking Barbara for your pet sitting needs!

Barb took excellent care of our dog while we were out for the evening. She is very caring and sent us pics of our dog to keep us updated . Jan & Eric

We have two dogs, both of whom are as sweet as can be, but both of them have health issues. One has anxiety and a seizure disorder requiring medication twice a day and the other has diabetes, needing insulin shots as well as other medications twice a day at five in the morning and five at night. So, while the dogs are so well behaved, there are still high maintenance. Barbara was FANTASTIC. She took amazing care of them and they loved her. Certain people have a gift with animals and Barbara is one of those people. We could not recommend her more. She will give us comfort every time we go away in the future. And the dogs will be thrilled to be with her. I wish I could give her more than five stars.

Barbara was awesome. She did everything we asked of her and more. She sent great photos of the animals everyday. I would recommend her to anyone that is in need of a great pet sitter.
