Pet care experience
I have had pets since I was two years old. My aunt used to say that I was born to take care of pets. I have owned cats, dogs, fish, horses, reptiles, hamsters, mice and even some critters from my creek. I have had the pleasure of working with a few vets who taught me some basic medical care skills (giving injections, IV fluids, etc.). I can also provide dog training services as well as helping puppies start with basic obedience.
Cat care experience
Barbara also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Great communication! On time and shared some great pictures of the pooches on their walk.
Barbara was on time & got the pooches out for a potty break and lots of sniffs. Then some love and attention inside. A perfect way to break up the time they would have otherwise been alone. Thank you!!
Very happy (again!) with Barbara's care of my pooches!! This was a longer booking so I was a bit nervous - but there was no reason to be. Barbara took great care of my dogs - feeding, walking, playing, giving med's... Her daily communication was great so I could see how well they were doing. I would definitely recommend her and I've already booked her for help again in the future.
Barbara did a great job with our cat Hal. They have their own routine and Hal loves her visits. There were some difficult travel days due to fog, drizzle, snow etc and Barbara made it to our country house. She did plan ahead and gave Hal extra food in case it got really bad. We appreciate having someone we can depend on!

I can not care for pets in my home at this time but I will ensure your home will look like you are still there. I meticulously manage the care of your pets as well as your home as if they/it were my own. I've had pet store clerks tell me that when they die, they want to come back as my pet!
Information Barbara G. would like to know about your pet
I love all animals but I'll want to meet your pet(s) close to your departure date. That way I can write down a daily diary to use for the care of your pet(s). In regards to dogs, I do not discriminate on breeds but as a dog trainer, it is important that more protective dogs have several visits with me prior to your departure. I want them to know who I am and accept me when you're not there.
A typical day
If I'm just doing a drop-in visit, I'll make sure the pet is fed and has fresh water. Then we'll have some playtime followed by some cuddle time. I'll check the house to be sure it's secure (newspapers/mail in, open close blinds, lights on or off, etc.). If it's a dog walking visit, I'll make sure to give the dog plenty of good smelling time outside. All pets need mental stimulation and I'll ensure they get it by talking to them, sharing new smells, playing with them and using their stored up energy.

Availability
I am now retired and want to love on more than just my two dogs. My time is very flexible and am willing to care for as many pets as possible - even cows!
