Pet care experience

Dedicated animal loving sitter

I have been taking care of dogs all of my life. Yrs ago I worked at an pet resort and LOVED IT! I was a dog groomer for 5yrs. I own a Chihuahua, black Lab, 3 cats, 6 chickens and a rabbit. I love all breeds and sizes. I have taken care of dogs with daily medication. I know how to give dog pills if needed. I treat all animals like they are part of the family. I love to see their different personalities. Taking care of dogs is not a job to me it is a pleasure to be able to spend time with them and take care of them. Doggies make me happy :-)

Barbara was FANTASTIC!! I strongly recommend her. My fiance and I went to Florida for our spring break and I was scrambling to find someone to watch my dog and chickens. When I reached out to Barbara, she was quick to respond and set up a meet and greet right away. She took care of Lester AND my chickens (she let the chickens out in the morning and closed the coop at night). She came to my house twice a day. Her price per visit is very reasonable and she does more than what's expected. Most importantly, she takes a ton of pictures!! Seeing pictures morning and afternoon of my dog and chickens eased my mind and made me happy. She's GREAT with animals and is very experienced. She knows what she's doing and has a kind/loving personality. Next time I go out of the state, I will definitely use her as my sitter. Hands-down. Thanks Barbara!! Hope you'll continue doing this.

Barb has a big heart for animals. She has watched my special needs chihuahua, Yoda, numerous times. Yoda has epilepsy. Barb knows how to give him his medications, recognize when he's having a seizure, and care for him during and after the seizures. Yoda loves Barb. His face lights up and his tail gets wagging every time he sees her. If you want someone who will care and love your furbabies as much as you do Barb is your sitter!

I would highly recommend Barbara to watch your dog. She loves animals and has watched my dog many times and I know she will take good care of your pet. She grew up with dogs and she is very good with them. She is a very responsible person.

A typical day

Being in a subdivision it's a safe and perfect place to go on walks. I have a nice big yard for plenty of room for exercising

Barbara can host up to 2 pets per night
Need to know if your animal is dog aggressive and if your dog has issues with big and small dogs. I have 3 cats. They stay away from the dogs most of the time but need to know if your dog gets along with cats
