Prefer to spend my time with dogs
Pet care experience
I always loved spending my time with dogs and have always treated every dog as if it were my own. After having a cancer diagnosis and my dog is elderly I want to spend more time caring for dogs and helping dog owners. My availability can be flexible as I work from home and I can customize the time I spend on accommodating each dog needs with walks, hikes, and play time. I live in a small gated community that has a large grassy common area with other friendly dogs. I have been caring for pets for over ten years now, my responsibilities have ranged from dog walking to dog sitting, from puppies to seniors and special needs. I always like when the dog owner educates me on what their dog loves to do, their favorite spots to scratch, toys to play with and anything special about their dog that will make them feel safe, secure and at home.
Reviews

Finding someone who could care for our senior dog with special needs was tough, but Barbara came through. She took the time to do a meet-and-greet and listened carefully to our needs. Barbara ensured that all our requirements were met and kept us updated with regular check-ins, so we always knew Pasha was comfortable. We’ll be booking her again!

Barbara is fantastic! She walked our puppy and taught her better leash manners in just a few days. Our pup is always happy to see Barbara and we’re grateful to have a reliable and kind person to look after Hazel.

I am so thrilled to have found Barbara for dog walking! My pup loved her immediately and enjoyed his time with her. She sent me lots of updates and a cute picture after the walk which I really appreciated. She has such a caring, compassionate energy and I would absolutely trust her to walk or dog sit my little boy again in a heartbeat. She is a gem! Thank you Barbara!

Barbara is amazing!!! Oh my gosh she took my guy everywhere, sent tons of great pictures and just made me feel like someone was truly loving on my pup while I was out of town. The best.

Skills
Information Barbara D. would like to know about your pet
It is important that each dog owner educate me on their dog's likes, loves, and dislikes. Feeding schedules, special diets, medication. If their dog has any special needs, afraid of loud noises, friendly with people, other dogs.
A typical day
I enjoy going on walks, runs, and hikes as well as playing with their favorite toys. Exercise and activity make for really great doggie naps! I treat every dog I care for to a very special doggie massage!
