All types of animals welcome!

Pet care experience

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.

Barbara was an excellent caretaker! Her home is a wonderful place for a dog with lots of space, other dogs present for fun social interaction, and a comfortable atmosphere. Barbara is very communicative and so knowledgeable with dogs and other animals. Barbara sent photos and videos during our trip of our dog, Hali, having almost a better time than we did on vacation :) We all look forward to our next visit. Thanks Barbara!

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.
