Pet care experience

I grew with dogs and am super passionate about them. I started off with a Labrador who changed my life. Love walking with dogs, I am very confident with dogs. I have cared for sick and injured pups before and know my way around!

Barbara absolutely adored walking our Maggie. She was extremely responsible and took great care of Maggie, our tiny 6 pound dog. We loved her caring and attentive nature!! Look forward to using her again when we can!

Barbara is a wonderful, caring and dog-loving sitter. She always gives Maggie plenty of walks and sends plenty of pics and videos of happy Maggie. Maggie love’s Barbara and is always excited to visit.

Information Barbara D. would like to know about your pet

My one dog is very independent and likes to keep to herself. If you want your dog to have free range, I do not mind at all. I also enjoy sitting in the evening and reading books!

A typical day

I have 7 different amazing spots I love to take the dogs I care of, it’s very fun! I can walk, run, bike, swim or all the above depending on your dogs likes. On average I take the dogs out every 2-3 hours which I believe is a healthy balance.
