Loving & Reliable Care for your Pet

Hi! I'm Barb, a dedicated pet lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I have a special place in my heart for high-energy breeds and dogs that need extra patience and structure. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, a drop-in visit for playtime and potty breaks, or just some extra attention while you're away, I'm here to help! What I offer: Dog walking: A structured and engaging walk to keep your pup happy and healthy. Drop-in Visits: Quick check-ins for feeding, playtime, potty breaks, or just some love while you're out. Personalized Care: I'll follow your pet's routine to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with strong-willed and energetic dogs, so if your pup needs someone patient and confident, I'm a great fit!

Safety, trust & environment

Whether in my home, or a client's home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet. I follow their routine closely and ensure all pets are in a secure space, use leashes during walks, and monitor their behavior to keep them safe. In a client's home, I respect their space and follow care instructions carefully. My goal is to create a stress-free, loving environment where pets feel happy and cared for and client's feel respected.

House Sitting • Oct 13, 2025

Such a great pet sitter. My dogs are super shy and they seemed to have had a good day with Barbara as a sitter. We had a slight miscommunication on instruction but she is extremely flexible and I could not have asked for a more willing sitter. We booked her last minute and I could not be more grateful I highly recommend!

Barbara is a wonderful girl who is caring, capable and loving. She treats all animals with love and compassion. As a trainer she is top notch. I would trust her with anything and anyone We have known her for years and miss her a lot. When she visits our dog never leaves her side. She’s a keeper!

If you are looking for a top notch pet sitter, Barb is the one you want !! Barb is not only knowledgeable, but has care and compassion to go a long with it. She is able to bond with pets and they go to her. She treats them like her own and spoils them. She will play with them, whether it is fetch with a ball or frisbee, play tug of war, rub their bellies and even will work on teaching them new tricks !! My dog Tessie will run to Barb when she sees her, that's how much she loves and trusts her. Your pet will be in great hands with Barb !!

Barb has trained my dog since she was a puppy (6) years. She is kind,patient,loving and fun. She is always happy to see Barb when she comes to visit. I would trust Barb to take care of any of my animals and highly recommend her.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I'm available on weekends as well as early mornings and late evenings on weekdays. This allows me to accommodate different schedules, whether it's a morning walk before work, or an evening check-in. I make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need, no matter the time of day.

Let me know if your pet has special needs or behaviors I need to be aware of. I like to know as much as I can about your furry friend so I can give him/her the best care possible.
