Retired pet loving Grammy

Pet care experience

I started with pets in my mid 20's as a college student in Athens, GA. I have now been a cat owner for over 40 years, most of the time with 2 cats at any given time. After having 3 children who constantly begged for a dog, I also became a dog owner 20 years years ago. I love my pets fiercely. We have challenges now that they are aging, with both being on medication full time, but it is worth it. I don't know what I would do without them.

She took excellent care of our dogs! She went out of her way to make sure they were happy and looked after.

Barbara has cared for our pups several times now and she is awesome! She always is very thorough, sends us pictures, and leaves us notes with details about her visits!

Safety, trust & environment

I currently only do drop-in visits. I believe your pet is most comfortable being in their own home environment as it's enough of an adjustment with you being gone.

Information Barbara H. would like to know about your pet

The information I'd need to know about your pet - feeding, medication, etc. can typically be covered during a Meet and Greet visit prior to looking after your pet.

A typical day

The activities I do with your pet depends on their age and energy level. Some dogs enjoy chasing and catching balls; others might just enjoy "doing their own thing" in the backyard during our visit. Some cats enjoy chasing a laser pointer (which I generally carry in my purse) and others like me to get on the floor with them and just pet them. Still others just want to be left alone!
