I work from home on my laptop, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. My husband and I run our own business, which means we’re organized, reliable, and used to balancing responsibilities—so your pets are always in capable, loving hands.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether in my home or at your home, I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special routines. In my home, I provide plenty of playtime, walks, and cozy spots for pets to relax. When visiting your home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own, keeping your pets happy and your space tidy. I enjoy giving updates and photos so you can see your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.

Information Barbara J. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to have all the key information about your pet — their routines, health concerns, and whether they enjoy people or other animals — so I can make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. I also need all the important contact information, including your phone number, veterinarian, and any emergency contacts, so I’m prepared for anything.

A typical day

I do pet sitting because it allows me to travel and meet amazing pets along the way! I love going on walks, exploring new neighborhoods, and spending quality time playing, cuddling, or just keeping pets company in their own space.

Happy Pets, Peace of Mind for Owner

Pet care experience

I was raised on a farm, so I have experience caring for all kinds of animals and understand the responsibility and attention pets need. I’ve cared for playful puppies, gentle senior dogs, and curious kitties, making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and happy. I’m reliable, communicative, and always provide updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or cozy cuddle sessions, I make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve.

Barbara is very good with my animals. My Dog loves it when she takes her out. When she is here she gives her all kinds of attention and our dog eats it up. Barbara is very conscientious and does a great job.
