Safety, trust & environment

I'll care for your pet in your home according to your instructions, and according to my experience. I'm careful and conscientious. I'll stay in touch.

Information Barbara C. would like to know about your pet

Any people- or dog-socialization issues, physical limitations, food preferences, please inform me, and I'll take proper care of your companion pet. One problem in particular, fear biting, which is biting without any warning whatsoever, needs special attention. A muzzle would help when walking such a dog, for the sake of the walker and any stranger coming up to the dog.

A typical day

I enjoy interacting with canines, walking and training them, and playing with them outdoors. Whatever special instructions owners leave me, I'll abide by. They will find a happy dog that has been exercised and cared for when they get back.

Pet care experience

I grew up with cats, later with dogs. When I married I had both dogs and cats at home. My husband and I attended dog obedience classes starting in the early 90s. We had a series of Rottweilers, then a Belgian Malinois, and now a Pitt Bull. I enjoy training canines and playing with them. I also very much enjoy interacting with my two cats. One of the joys of my life is raising felines alongside canines. First, during the week, when school is in session, I'm available 5pm to 7pm Mon-Fri. And when school is out, I can watch pets 8am to 7pm Mon-Fri. Second, on Saturdays I can do 8am to 2pm and then 5pm to 7pm. Finally, Sundays I can pet-sit from 1pm to 7pm. I keep two indoor cats in my apartment. They get fresh air regularly in the carrier on the balcony. They get wet food in the morning and dry food on demand, along with plenty of water. They visit the vet annually.

My 2 year old German Shepherd LOVED Barbra! She was on time, listened to my instructions and was so loving and sweet to my 100lbs baby! Highly recommend her and will use her over and over.

Barbara was fantastic! My dogs loved her. It was great to be away and not have to worry about my house or dogs. I will definitely use her again. Highly recommend.
