Barbara is our preferred sitter. She goes above and beyond expectations.
Barbara went above and beyond expectations! She is a great communicator and did everything we asked her to do. We look forward to having her care for our pups again.
Barbara is excellent! She sent pics and updates daily and she spoiled my dog with several walks throughout the day! She treated him as if he was her own. She is a great communicator and very responsive. I couldn't have asked for a better first stay experience and I happily recommend Barbara!
Barbara H. cancelled a booking 4 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Barbara is awesome, my girls had a great time with her and her pet. I will definitely book with her when I am out of town next time ☺️. Doris
I can't say enough about how amazing Barbara was while taking care of my Giant Schnauzers! From the moment I met her, it was clear she truly understood the breed and the unique needs of my big, energetic pups. She was professional, friendly, and had a natural connection with my dogs. Throughout the time Barbara was watching them, my Schnauzers were happy, well-exercised, and content. I received regular updates with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. It's clear they took the time to engage with my dogs, providing them both with mental and physical stimulation. I would absolutely trust them again and recommend their services to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and knowledgeable pet sitter. Thanks so much for everything!

Schedule
As a Leadership and Financial Coach who works from home, I've been surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life. My own beloved dog, Kara, is part of my family—she enjoys a balanced meal of boiled turkey, sweet potatoes, and dry duck food, and we share daily walks in our safe, quiet neighborhood. Every afternoon at 5:00 PM, we take a special pause for fun playtime together. I live in a welcoming end-unit townhome that features a lovely yard and a private walkout basement with plenty of grassy space. You can trust that I will care for your pet with the same love, warmth, and dedication as I do for my own.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet will be treated like my own pet, i.e., allowed on the furniture and bed, unless they use a crate or they have a bed. I use a retractable leash with built-in flashlight, that includes a poo bag holder. Happy to give them a bath with sensitive skin dog shampoo. If they need a nail trim, just let me know, it's a little extra but worth it. If I missed something, just let me know, happy to accommodate as I can. If I am at your house, I will follow your instructions according to your needs while also doing the same above.
Pets
A typical day
A few walks around my neighborhood during the day, with a 5 O'clock playtime of fetch. Dinner. Search for treats (works the brain). A longer walk weather permitting. Bedtime teeth brushing. Toys in bed, one last play. Sweet dreams!

- I welcome and encourage you to share any and all information that will help me keep your pet safe, happy, and healthy. Including their play, sleep, and eat preferences. For example, my Kara does not like you to touch her head when greeting her, she has a finicky stomach and only eats certain foods and treats, she also doesn't love walking, but enjoys sniffing the entire walk. When it snows, she needs to wear boots or she'll fall over like she's paralyzed. Let me know how I can take care of your sweet pet to keep them happy and safe.
