Pets

I will love your fury babies!!

Pet care experience

I have loved and had dogs with me my whole life. I like very small to very large animal. I have retired after 20 years at my job with the State of Texas. Currently I have one shelter dog and a surrender dog in my home they are both 3 years old and love other animals. I also offer the option of two home and can watch your dogs separately if needed. I have 16 year old son you loves to help me. We love all animals. I have cared for sick, wheelchair bound and volunteered at local shelters in the past and provide shot therapy for those that have needed it. I think of my dogs as my fur babies and my mom would buy toys for what she called her grand puppies every year. I take my dogs in my car and they absolutely love it. Some animals just want love and attention others need more services I will work out a plan with the owners to suit the animals, the owners and my needs for the period of time I have your animals. In one home, there are no dogs and I can watch all types of animals independently. It all depends on what there needs are. But they are all valued babies to me big or small. Let me love your animals for a day a week or a month. i’m completely retired now and am open to in home setting if that is what you want. Let’s set up a meet and greet and work out the details. i cover Lufkin, Diboll, Huntington, Nacogdoches Center and Martinsville Texas. i have a home in Apple Springs ( in town country) and Martinsville ( farm like) I am retired so your pet would be my priority. My schedule is open to you and your animals needs. Let’s meet and talk about what you are looking for in a sitter. I have two dogs at one home and no animals currently at my country home. My dogs interact well with other dogs and my son loves to take long walks with the dogs. Cats are welcome in my home as well. i’m lucky to have the option of boarding locations.

We were so lucky to find Barbara to take care of our princess! Being rural, it can be hard to find a nice place where your fur baby can stay in a safe environment while also feeling "at home" and not in a kennel all day. Barbara fit the bill! She was so sweet to send pictures every day while we were gone and even trimmed her nails! Thanks Barbara!

Barbara made me and my babies at ease immediately. Pepper has extreme anxiety with new people and dogs, he had no problem going off with her and her dogs, he was immediately comfortable. She also sent me lots of pictures! I swear they didn’t want to come back with me. This weekend could not have went better with anyone else.

Thank you so much Barbara for watching Oreo last minute! Barbara was so accommodating and friendly! Oreo was well taken care of and loved being at her house. She stayed in communication with me as well! 100% would recommend and have her watch Oreo again!

My dogs really enjoyed themselves. One of them even longingly stared back at Barbara’s house as we drove off. She made them feel at home, and her dogs got along well with mine. She has a doggy door and a nice little fenced yard for the dogs to play in. I will definitely re-book!
