Professional, Impeccable Pet Care
Pet care experience
I graduated from college with a degree in Animal Science back in 1991. I had a thirty year career in the Thoroughbred racing industry in Kentucky, as well as working in animal hospitals in Alaska and California. I have owned dogs, cats, horses, goats, birds, and chickens, as well as taking care of other’s farm animals and pets. I recently retired from my profession, and moved to Palm Bay, FL. Having raised three children who are now adults and have lives of their own, I am finding that I miss the company of animals, and would love to provide your pet with the best care possible.
Reviews
I really can’t say enough about how fantastic Barbara is! My girl stayed with her for a 10 day stay and she enjoyed her stay so much, she was just so happy when I picked her up and then she seemed a bit sad and aloof the first couple of days after coming back home because I think she missed Barbara!! Barbara goes above and beyond to provide the best care for your pet. I got thorough updates each day and I was just so at ease knowing my girl was in such great hands. Barbara has a beautiful house with an absolutely incredible backyard full of areas to explore!
Barbara is so friendly and good at what she does! Thank you Barbara!
Barbara is the sweetest, most attentive dog sitter! She has a beautiful home that she shares openly with her canine companions, and a spacious back yard with shade, for outdoor fun. She honored all of our routines for our dog, Molly, which made for a smooth experience while she was away from home. She provided frequent walks, enrichment, and lots of petting for Molly; as well as warmth and hospitality to us during the meet-n-greet and drop off/pick up times. Barbara was very responsive, even before Molly's stay, and communicated with us daily while we were away. We left Molly in "good hands", and were able to vacation without any worries or concerns. We will definitely use her for all our future pet-sitting needs.
Barbara was terrific with my 2 boys. She is super responsive and was so kind. My flight got delayed and I was running late to pick up my boys but Barbara was so nice and understanding. I will definitely be using her again in the future! Thank you Barbara!!!

Home
Information Barbara J. would like to know about your pet
Let me know of any special needs your pet might have. Is he/she used to treats at a certain time, fed on a certain schedule, medications given, etc., and I will be more than happy to accommodate.
A typical day
I live in a wonderful, dog-friendly neighborhood, that is close to a number of parks for added adventures. If your dog likes to go on long walks (early mornings or evenings only due to the summer heat), play fetch in the fenced in backyard, run through the sprinklers, or just relax in the house, he will be sure to enjoy his time here.
