Pet care experience

Welcome to my home in New City!

I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses and the random guinea pig or rabbit for the last 10 years. There is nothing better than watching your dog romp around my large yard or snuggling on the couch.

Highly recommend! Barbara has watched our dog twice so far and has been reliable, attentive, and great with communication each time. It gives us peace of mind knowing our dog is in such good hands - we will absolutely be booking with her again!

I couldn’t have wished for a better dog sitter. Barbara is a fantastic person who gives such great care to my pet. She has a safe, fenced-in backyard with plenty of room to play. I can rest easy when I’m away, knowing my pet is in excellent hands. Thank you, Barbara!

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Barbara! From the very start, she was thoughtful and thorough, taking the time to meet with us ahead of our trip to make sure our dogs were a good fit. This gave us a chance to meet her lovely pup and get to know her before booking, which gave us total peace of mind. While we were away for a long weekend, Barbara made our dogs feel right at home. They quickly acclimated and were clearly comfortable enjoying her spacious, fenced-in yard and being treated as true guests, not just boarders. Not crate trained? No problem. Prefer to sleep in the bed? Also no problem. Barbara’s flexibility and kindness meant our dogs got to maintain their routines and feel secure. She kept us updated with adorable photos and even checked in to see how our trip was going which was a super thoughtful and personal touch. When we picked them up, we were greeted by happy, well-cared-for pups with wagging tails. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dogs like family, Barbara is the one. Highly, highly recommend!
