Highlights
Pet care experience
All types of animals welcome!
As a former Animal Welfare Director of a large local shelter, I have extensive experience with dog behavior and training, as well as working with domestic, exotic and farm animals. I was also a licensed wildlife rehabilitator for 25 years. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have enjoyed all my years of working with them professionally. I live on 10 acres with horses, goats, chickens, cats, a pig, dog, and bird, and I am now home full-time to enjoy them! I have a fenced backyard with plenty of room to run and play, and live in a low-traffic, safe neighborhood. Your pets will receive my undivided love and attention either at my home or yours. I am happy to provide excellent, reliable care for your dogs, cats, birds, and all farm animals.

Ratings and reviews
Barbara took wonderful care of our two Labs, Tippy and Tilly, while we were away for a week at a family reunion in the Outer Banks. She is friendly, flexible, and communicative, sending regular photo updates that gave us real peace of mind. We also really appreciate how observant and knowledgeable she is about pet health and safety. She notices small details and always keeps the dogs’ well-being in mind. We’ve relied on Barbara year after year and always know our dogs are in great hands at Barbara’s place..
We truly cannot say enough great things about our experiences with Barbara. From the moment we connected, it was clear that this wasn’t just a service, it was genuine care and love for our dog. She treats our dog like her own, and that peace of mind is priceless. Whether it’s the thoughtful updates, the attention to detail, or the way our dog is always so happy and comfortable in her care, everything reflects how deeply she cares about what she does. It’s not easy trusting someone with a member of your family, but she makes it effortless. We always know our dog is safe, loved, and in the best hands possible. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, not just meeting expectations but exceeding them every time you’ve found the right person. We’re incredibly grateful and wouldn’t trust anyone else.
Barbara is the best!
Always appreciative of Barbara. ❤️
Tippy & Tilly had a great time. Thank you for taking such good care of them!
When I picked up Cali, she was happy and clearly had a good time! She made Cali comfortable and enjoyed her stay. I will be booking with her again! Thank you!

A typical day
I offer swimming in our in-ground pool to all dogs who can benefit from swim therapy due to arthritis or other medical needs AND to those who just love to swim. We have plenty of room to chase a ball and a low traffic neighborhood which makes it great for walks. I work from home so your pet gets my undivided attention all day.
