Barbara agreed to watch our dogs with little notice! She was friendly and trustworthy, and she communicated with us frequently. Thanks Barbara!

Holly had a great time with Barbara. She was always on time and kept Holly from worrying that no one would take care of her many needs.

My dog really appreciates her walks with Barbara! She’s quick to respond, on time, and trust worthy! :) Hope to use her for many days to come!

Barbara Ford is my next-door neighbor. When we first moved to this area we came with our dog Georgia. Georgia had a large tumor on her hind quarter. Because of the gentle and kind care Barbara gave Georgia when we were away or traveling. We felt more than comfortable leaving Georgia with her. Georgia was on a special diet and needed to go out way more often because of her tumor pressing on her bladder. Sadly, Georgia has left this world but I can tell you unequivocally that Barbara gave her the most wonderful, and Loving care Over the last year and a half. I would highly recommend Barbara to care for anyone’s dog.

I have known Barb for over thirty years. She has a love for dogs and cats, and has always loved our animals like they were her own. She has the utmost integrity and is perfectly reliable. If she says she'll be there at a certain time. You can be certain she'll be there, and probably earlier. All this, AND has a wonderful disposition. Your pets will love her.
