Pet care experience

I take care of pets like they are my children. I have 3 dogs of my own and I wish I could have 10 more. My dream job was to be a veterinarian so that I could experience every type of Animal. I know that our busy life schedules prevents you from giving your pets the attention they need so I will be there to make sure that they are not filled with anxiety. I am very responsible and have been taking care of puppies to dogs for 20 years and more to come. I currently own a Yorkie poodle, chihuahua, and a male yorkie. I do not breed and all my dogs are rescued pups. I have plenty of references and experience to make sure you are comfortable.

Barbara is a one of a kind dog sitter that truly gives incredible attention and care to her clients' pets as if they were her own. She's always upbeat and genuinely loves to interact with breeds of all kinds from playtime to runs and long walks. Always ready to give affection and never ending patience for even the most rambunctious of dogs, any owner would be very lucky to employ her service. Highly recommend!

Information Barbara K. would like to know about your pet

I try and teach my dogs fetch or train them with new tricks. There are plenty of parks nearby for extra long walks, don’t worry about the sun too much the parks are very shaded. It’s important to know what kind of special needs and if the dog can not stay outside for extended periods.
