Thoughtful Caregiver

Pet care experience

Barbara is a dog owner (labrador retriever, labrador mix, Basset hound, chow mix, German shepherd, and French bulldog) and a cat owner. Barbara provides a half-hour or hour-long walks, playtime with toys at a local dog park, and house sitting. She lives within a half-mile walk to the dog-friendly beach and downtown shops. She blends fun with socialization. She knows how to pill a dog, inject medication, perform CPR, and help your pet rest up from an injury. Barbara loves dogs! She loves cats! (She lives on a farm in her youth, and used to care for chickens and pheasants.) "I'm sure to love your dog and cat as you do!" House Sitting: Dog-sitting and cat-sitting from 6 p.m. until 9 a.m. Any changes owners should OK this with Barbara (One or two hours are quite all right). I am a stroke survivor and I've been one since July 2015. I am quite well physically except for speech difficulty. I will have no problem understanding you. Before I had my stroke, I was an English professor.

Barbara is a wonderful and caring pet sitter. My dog Kuma loves her. She takes care of my 5 cats and 2 dogs and does a great job. I know my pets are safe and well cared for. Thank you Barbara!
