Barbara can care for
Availability
I'm based from home with a flexible schedule. I'm happy to drop-in on dogs by day while their 'parents' are at work, and cats when their people are away. I love to brighten each pet's day with cheerful company, while caring for their needs.

Information Barbara C. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about your pet's diet, any allergies or medication, and any current health issues. What commands does your pet respond to, and what are their favourite games or toys? Are there specific things that startle your dog, and how do they interact with other dogs, people and children? Does your cat like to play and be touched, or prefer to be left alone?
A typical day
I love to drop-in on dogs and cats in their home. Depending on their routine, we visit indoors, play in the yard, or go for a walk. I exercise and play with energetic pets, gently care for senior and convalescing ones, and provide company and playtime at any age. Cats let me know if they'd like to play, cuddle, or be left to lounge while I care for their needs.

Responsible Care, Drop-Ins & Walks
Pet care experience
Pets feel comfortable in my care, and owners can rest assured their furry family members are in good hands. I have much pet sitting experience, in addition to caring for my own beloved dogs and cats over the years. With a positive and patient approach, I can help with young pets, senior care, and all stages in between! I love to interact, whether it's to play, go for walks, or gently snuggle on the couch. Shy pets tend to be comfortable with me, and I'm careful with special diets. I tailor my care to each individual character, based on guidance and requests from their pet-parent. I'm happy to provide detailed updates with several photos per visit. (Note: I'm good with timid pets who may shy away, but not with those who may respond in a reactive/aggressive way.)

Reviews
This was our second booking with Barbara - and longer one at that for 10 days. Once again we were really happy with her services including her care/attention to our cats and their surroundings. She dealt with a couple unexpected incidents well and provided great check ins as part of every visit.
Barbara was very thorough. She took many photos of my cat, and played and snuggled with her. I appreciate Barbara’s attention to detail, and her obvious care she has of animals. I would highly recommend Barbara, and feel lucky to have her look after our cat.
Barbara was able to connect with our cat, Rosey as soon as she met her. Rosey very shy but Barbara had a special way with her.Barbara was also very reliable. We felt comfortable going away knowing Rosey was in good care.
Barbara was extremely thorough and provided a detailed rover card with progress updates for each of her drop-in visits for our cat. During our meet and greet Barbara clearly presented as professional and organized. I have no doubts that our cat was in great hands. I will absolutely reach out to Barbara for this service again in the future, if the opportunity presents. Thank you!
