Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving, patient dog sitter. Cozy
I’ve been around dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Over the years I’ve helped care for rescued puppies, including very young and sick ones that needed extra attention and patience. Taking care of animals has always come naturally to me.Tommy my dog taught me even more about patience and understanding dogs with anxiety. When I first adopted him, he was very nervous, overwhelmed, and destructive because he was struggling to adjust to a new environment. With time, routine, love, and patience, I helped him become much more comfortable and secure. Through him, I’ve learned a lot about reading dogs emotions, helping them feel safe, and giving them the attention they need
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Barbara was amazing with Griffin. Before we booked we scheduled a meet and greet with her and to meet her dog Tommy who is a two year old poodle. Normally my dog doesn’t play but the two of them really hit it off and even though Griffin is almost 11 he was playing like a two year old! Barbara sent many updates and videos each day which I loved and they went on several walks. I would highly recommend her and should I need to go out of town again I will be contacting her.
Great experience with my dog sitter. Barbara. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared for our dog like their own. I received regular updates, photos, and knew our pup was in great hands the entire time. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and would absolutely book Barbara again!
I’ve known Barbara for many years and she has always loved animals. She grew up around dogs and cats and has always been very caring with them. The way she takes care of Tommy says a lot about her, she treats him like family and always makes sure he’s happy and well taken care of
Barbara is very caring with dogs and really patient with them. She takes great care of her own dog and I think she would do a great job taking care of other pets too.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home as a fulltime assistant, which allows me to give dogs attention throughout the day from walks to playtime and cuddles. I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends, and can adjust my schedule based on your dog’s needs if I’m available
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
care for dogs in two locations my small cozy petfriendly apartment with a small gated balcony for potty breaks, and small park fenced and my boyfriend’s house, which has more space and is ideal for dogs who need extra room to move around. My dog Tommy, is very calm and used to sharing space with other pups. I prioritize safety routine, and lots of love and I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated with photos and videos

A typical day
I’m a big fan of letting dogs sniff and explore during walks instead of rushing them l enjoy taking them on walks giving them playtime and visiting my community dog park
