Pet Helper - Retired ACTIVE Adult
Pet care experience
I am an active retiree who has lived in Avon Lake all my life and I have been a loving dog owner all my life. My dogs have mostly been rescue black labs (because I feel bad there are so many that need good homes) - I have trained all to be great companions. Kila, is a funny, small part lab/part beagle (I think) - at least she sounds like one when she howls with the train horn close by. I walk dogs everyday - rain or cold or snow. I have experience performing drop in services for cats, fish, and many dogs, which includes an older dogs with health problems (diabetic, blind). I am available any day of the week and will be happy to walk your dog during daylight hours. I can usually be contacted at the last minute to add a drop in/walk if you can't make it home. I would look forward to coming to your house to play or walk your dog and can be trusted as a family member.
Reviews
Very pleased with the care that Barb shows to our three Jack Russell Terriers. It is clear that she is a true dog lover and has established a relationship with the girls and is aware of their unique, different personalities. We are able to vacation with a clear conscience that our girls are in good hands!
Barb is the best. She really understands my dog”s mischievous puppy ways and knows how to handle him with ease
Barb is amazing! She goes out of her way to make sure she is meeting my puppies needs. Extremely dependable!
Everything went well our dogs were happy to have someone taking care of them and we were happy not having to board them

Information Barbara H. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog like exercise - too long of a day at work?? I am willing to walk your dog for a short walk or up to a mile or more - I've recently completed two 100 mile hikes on vacation, so I'm up to it :) When doing Drop In Visits I will gladly include a nice walk if you would like. My only restriction is I do not accept Pit Bulls as clients. All other dogs I'm very comfortable with.
A typical day
Drop in visits can break up your pets long day and I'll be sure to make him/her look forward to me stopping by - a game of hide and seek, some fetch, or even working on a trick you're teaching him/her. As for walking, it's great for a dog to get some exercise and have a change of scenery to break up the day.
