Pet care experience

Kitty 🐈‍⬛ will be Happy with Me

I’ve a soft spot in my heart for all animals, especially Kitties. Your Kitty will love when I drop in to take care of her or him & when being boarded in my apartment. I don’t rush. I play and speak with your cat to be sure your cat gets to know me and has quality time with me. If your kitty is shy, I’ll help her/him feel more comfortable. I enjoy being around cats and I know your kitty will feel comfortable being around me. Your trust in me will be well founded. Thank you

Barbara is the best! She creates a wonderful and loving experience for our cat which allows me to relax when I'm out of town, knowing he is in great hands :)

Barbara is so lovely and I felt so comfortable leaving my cat in her care. She provided regular updates and photos and took wonderful care of nova. She is truly so warm and kind and I will absolutely be rebooking the next time I need a sitter!

Absolutely loved Barbara and my cat thoroughly enjoyed her time with her in her beautiful home! She was set up for success with everything she needed there and she also gave Lav’s medication with ease. My cat didn’t want to leave upon pick up 😂 she was so comfortable there. Can’t wait for her return!

Barbara took great care of my cat Harry! She sent me plenty of updates and pictures, and when I picked him up he was so relaxed and comfortable in her apartment - I could tell he had been spoiled! I will absolutely be booking with Barbara again next time I need to board him.
