Pet care experience
I am former 35 year combined experience as a Vet Tech, Pet Sitter, pet farm owner of 80+ 4H show poultry, peafowl & two breeds of geese. I am "hen-pecked" by my mascot Lhasa Apso named Muffin my patrolling grey tiger cat Milo. I have an Eclectus Parrot Elvis that also runs the indoor household. I was raised on a Quarter Horse breeding farm in addition to managing a Humane Society of the US office plus 12+ years as a Veterinary Technician. My college background is in Hospitality management so very strong customer service background as well and Taylor all my clients to their individual style of pet-rearing! I am also a LPN in the home as part time and my clients join me on the ride to do our Daily walks sometimes, so my availability open mostly as I can do 3- 5 lunch time visits of a half hour. My overnight or House Sitting does include the first and last walk or visit if kitties.
Reviews
Barbara and her daughter have been caring for my cocker spaniels in my own home for the past four years whenever I am away on business or vacation. I've used their services for both daytime check-ins and overnight stays. Some of my dogs need regular medications and Barbara's veterinary experience puts me at ease. I am confident in saying that she truly does go above and beyond in assuring my dogs' comfort and happiness. In addition, I appreciate how she keeps my houseplants watered and house tended in my absence. I am delighted to recommend Barbara's services to anyone who is looking for dependable, exemplary care for their pets.

Home
Information Barbara F. would like to know about your pet
Veterinary history if any, location of all feed, coats, bags and litter pan needs as I don't need to go through drawers and closets, feel a privacy issue for client. Important that landlines of destination are included with cell numbers as they can be out of range.
A typical day
Frisbee, running games, ball games, pools/water activities in warmer months, and scavenger hunts! I have taken up to five clients in my Jeep to parks. Cat nip toys hide and seek, teasers and will leave them strategically placed for own fun upon my departure. I have many two and four legged references!
