Highlights
Pet care experience
Building bonds & happiness each day
I am a lifelong pet parent and have been training dogs using positive reinforcement methods for a living as a company employee for the past 9 years. During that time, I have also walked and taken care of many clients' dogs and cats. Now I am recently retired and am going out on my own to continue the career that I love! I have devoted my time to positive training and taking care of all ages and breeds of dogs from young puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats. If you need someone to walk and check in on your babies while you're at work , I am happy to do that. If you're looking for training for your young puppy or dog on your schedule, that will work! I have a solid background in pet nutrition and health and am happy to advise on pet needs and deal with any special health needs your pet has.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Barbara was wonderful! Super communicative and so attentive to our little pup, Avery. He loved her backyard and he also seemed to enjoy her other three pups.
Barbara was wonderful with Zeke! She clearly understands dog behavior, play styles, and each dog's individual needs. From the moment we met her, it was obvious that she genuinely cares about the dogs in her care and takes the time to make them feel comfortable. Zeke seemed to have a great time during his stay and came home happy, relaxed, and pleasantly exhausted—which is always a good sign! It was reassuring to know he was in caring and knowledgeable hands. We would absolutely trust Barbara with Zeke again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and attentive dog sitter. 🐾❤️
This was Muff’s third—and at two weeks, by far longest—stay with Barbara. When Muff and I arrived for the drop-off, Muff was thrilled to see Barbara, which is always a good sign. The stay went very well, and Barbara sent a ton of photos. Highly recommended!
Thank you for giving such good care to Benny and Maui and sending all the pictures and updates! They loved staying with you!
Barbara is great! She’s easygoing & attentive & sent pics each day of my pups’ antics. My dogs enjoyed her backyard & playing with her 3 dogs, who all have great temperaments & didn’t seem to mind playing chase allll day.
Muff had a great day with Barbara and her collies and whippet. She’ll return for a longer stay in late April.

Schedule
i am retired, so my schedule is very flexible, and I have a lot of time to devote to your pets! We can schedule either ongoing regular walks and/or training and/or drop-in visits or occasional ones, depending upon your schedule. I can also arrange dog playdates/socialization with my well trained collie !
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I treat every pet as if he/she were my own with lots of loves and attention. We can either walk in your neigborhood, at a nearby park, or go for an adventure! I am reliable, only use positive training methods and always take measures to keep my clients safe. If you have a particular routine or need that I should follow when in your home, please let me know, and I am happy to help.

A typical day
I love to make every walk a positive experience by varying walks (different areas, terrain) and having fun adventures, while working on loose leash training, as needed. Our walks will satisfy dogs' needs to explore, exercise, and get some of that energy used up...while we have fun doing it !
