I LOVE ALL DOGS UNCONDITIONALLY

Pet care experience

My name is Barbara, and I am a true and dedicated dog lover. I will provide unconditional love and care for your dog. Ive been around dogs mostly large breeds for 30 years, watched friend's and neighbor's dogs throughout my life and always found it to be very rewarding. Knowing that your best buddy is in a safe and loving environment while their loved ones are away offers great piece of mind and comfort. All dogs are incredible, they provide us with love, affection and emotional support. They are our best companions and our family members!! They love to please us, and look to us for reassurance and always express their love to us unconditionally. I have opened my door to assist Second Chance Rescue, in the rescue of a Tibetan Mastiff who was abused, afraid, malnourished and with respiratory illness. She stayed with me for a many months until she was back to health and strong. I worked with her daily to help her build her trust with humans, and also helped her to become a healthy and happy dog. She now is in a great home and living the life that she well deserves!! I enjoy dog sitting and love interacting with dogs- I will allow your pup to feel just as comfortable as he would in his own home. I will take your best buddy for a nice walk through my neighborhood to get some fresh air and exercise. I will also provide them outside play time in my large yard which is fully fenced- there is plenty of grass to roll around in and lots of room to run and play . If your best buddy is comfortable just lying around on the couch that's fine too! My goal is to make sure that your best buddy is happy and comfortable in a safe environment. I am self employed and work from home. I make my own hours and I am flexible. Lots of love and attention will be provided along with all the necessary care including feedings and lots of fresh water. I also am experienced in administering medication if needed. Dogs are the best companions in the whole world!! They always bring tons of happiness to your heart, they are comforting, great listeners and will brighten your day. My best friends! I love them all!!

Barbara was fabulous!! We did a meet and greet the day before just to be sure we were a fit and I could tell immediately Barbara was a dog lover. She opened her home and her heart to Abbey and Allie. And they adored her! I was totally at peace leaving them with her all day. Not only did they get to run and play in her fenced in backyard but when they came in the house she also gave them treats and lots of love. She sent me lots of photos and videos throughout the day. When I picked them up they were totally exhausted but very happy puppies after a fun day with Barbara! I would totally recommend Barbara for any puppy sitting for your fur baby! She is the best!! I wish we lived in NY I would use her all the time! Thank you Barbara for taking such good care of Abbey and Allie!

Barbara was great with our dog. She was loving, caring and attentive to our dogs’ needs. We did not worry about our dog at all while we were away. The many photos that she sent were reassuring that he was being well cared for. I highly recommend her and plan on using her again.

Where do I start? We put in for a fairly last minute request for Barbara to watch our puppy, Sophie. After looking at her profile and reading the reviews we decided to go with her. She called and we spoke and she wanted to do a meet and greet, which we thought was great (another sitter on Rover didn't want to do one, which was a no go for us) and made plans for the next day. Once we met Barbara we felt very comfortable with her. She's very warm and loving and Sophie took to her right away. She has a beautiful home and yard and we knew Sophie would love staying with her and her family. Although we were nervous wrecks and asked silly questions, Barbara was so patient with us and made us feel comfortable. Fast forward to the stay.. Barbara was great and sent tons of pics of Sophie doing all sorts of things all day long for the length of the stay. This really put our minds at ease. She really knows how to take care of dogs AND their owners! She had tons of toys for her to play with and even let her pick a toy to take home at the end! We would definitely recommend Barbara 1000% and are looking forward to planning another trip so she can go back to stay with Auntie Barbara!

Barbara is great with our pet and shows them the same affection that we do. I highly recommend her and plan on using her in the future. We have relied on her in the past and this visit was no different than the prior.
