I live on 24 acres, some fenced. My cats are indoor/outdoor and are trained to come in at night. They are literbox trained. My dogs stay in the house when we leave and get regular vet care. At your home: caution opening doors, assure leashes attached properly, and yard secure, administer meds according to vet orders. Feed per owner directions (you have them sing for dinner, I will too), refresh water, photograph/video each encounter to share with owner at visit, clean up pet messes, sit on floor and play, make sure home is securely locked when leaving

Barbara took wonderful care of our cat. She was communicative, timely, and responsible. We have hesitated for years to go on vacation because we never felt confident about having anyone come to our home, but now that we’ve found Barbara, we are already booking our next vacation. Barbara is warm and friendly and clearly loves animals. She stayed in touch with us and provided updates and photos. We’re overjoyed to have found a trustworthy person to care for our cat. Highly recommended!

Barbara is a competent and responsible pet sitter. She is very punctual and is dedicated to making you feel comfortable - she sent me photos of my dog to ease my anxiety. She cared for my dog just as I asked, and it was very evident how much she loves animals. Would recommend and will hire her again in the future.

Barbara is an incredible pet sitter! She truly loves and cares for animals as if they are her children and puts her all into loving them. She is respectful of rules put in place and very responsible, I felt very safe having her care for my dog.
