I have a partially fenced in back yard and live in a quiet neighborhood that is great for walks on leash. Inside my home your dog would be allowed on furniture. I don't have any other pets at home, so your dog would be the king of the castle.

Information Barbara F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what I can do to make your dog feel at home and make you feel comfortable being away from him or her.

A typical day

Depending on what your dog likes to do, I would love to play in the yard, go for short or long walks throughout the day, or just sit on the couch and snuggle throughout the day.

Work From Home Dog Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a reliable, caring dog lover who treats every pup like my own. I recently lost my pup of 16 years and would love to have your dog keep me company while you are away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels—from playful puppies to senior dogs who prefer a slower pace. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I make it a priority to keep things consistent so your dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, medications, walks, and special instructions, and I will keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just hanging out, I’m happy to match their energy and needs. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pup and give them a fun, stress-free experience while you’re gone!

From start to finish, Barbara was helpful and welcoming to our family and Kylo. Kylo definitely missed her and wanted to say goodbye. We will definitely use Barbara again because she took amazing care of our family dog. Thank you for all the updates and for looking out for our dog.

Barbara is the BEST dog sitter ever! She takes care of my little Cookie regularly and I think Cookie loves her more than me! Cookie jumps out of the car and drags me into the house to see Barb. Barb is such a dog lover and I never get anxiety leaving Cookie with her like I do with others. I always get plenty of pictures of the 2 of them snuggling together 😁. I definitely recommend Barb. And Cookie does too!
