Barbara can care for
Availability
I work a standard 9-5. That being said I work from home every other week, so depending on the week I can spend much more time in the home and provide more supervision. I love to be active so making time for walks and outside time will always be a priority. With weekends off I can spend those full days with your precious pet.

Hello! I'm Barbara
Pet care experience
I have been working in animal and the dog sitting space since 2020. I have managed a range of pets from rats all the way through dogs. I have worked with sick animals before (administering diabetes shots, cleaning wounds and stitches) and am comfortable doing that moving forward. I have worked with many dogs at a time (up to three) many times in my career. I have also worked with nervous and reactive dogs as well. Overall I really have seen it all.
Cat care experience
Barbara also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
She did such a great job with my anxious little boy who isn’t used to being home alone. We will be using her for the future for sure!
Barbara was dedicated and communicative throughout her stay with our pets. Our dogs are pretty high maintenance and she took all of their quirks in stride and with good humor. We will happily book with Barbara again and recommend her to others in the future.
Barbara was great with communication and updates on my pup. With my return being delayed due to inclement weather Barbara proactively reached out to offer to extend her stay with my pup if needed so she could be sure that my pup was taken care of. Would recommend Barbara and will not hesitate in having her help with my pup again.
I cannot recommend Barbara highly enough! She was absolutely wonderful with my Lil Man Hudson (cat) and treated him with so much care and attention. I received regular updates and adorable photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Barbara truly went above and beyond, not only making sure my cat was happy and comfortable, but also leaving my apartment spotless and perfectly organized. It was such a relief to come home to a happy pet and a clean space. If you’re looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely caring, Barbara is the best choice!
