Highlights
Pet care experience
Love, Love Animals!
Trixie and Norton were the loves of my life. Two amazing dogs that I had for years. I also had a wonderful black kitty, Snookers. Although I have not had pets since then, I have taken care of family and friends' dogs whenever possible and am looking forward to caring for others 4 four-legged family members. I look forward to having the opportunity to be there for people who need a trustworthy, loving, and patient person to help them with their pet sitting needs. I am respectful of pet owners, their homes, and pets, and caring, flexible, and understanding. If a pet needs someone with high energy and activity or a mellow, calm, and quiet sitter, or anywhere in between, I am comfortable with it all! I am also a semi-retired healthcare professional who continues with professional writing, which I can do anywhere and anytime. Providing care and dealing with emergencies is second nature to me, and I know that it would be a pleasure to offer a wonderful sitting experience for your pets.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I follow the instructions well and do not make assumptions. I feel it is important to clarify all details with the client so I can offer the best possible care. My role is to be respectful of others' property and give the quality of service your pet(s) deserve. They need to be nurtured and nourished with as little disruption as possible.
Ratings and reviews
Barbara was a one-of-a-kind dog/house sitter! She was attentive, kind, and respectful of both our dog and house. Our pup, Elise, has many challenges, being a senior with diabetes. Barbara was up to the challenges! Thank you, Barbara, for providing such excellent care to Elise!
Barbara did a great job dog and house sitting for my mother while we were on a family vacation. She was responsive, reliable and communicated well. She even sent a few photo updates. My mother would definitely book her again. 😁
I would recommend Barbara. She took wonderful care of my two dogs. She sent a few pictures and was easy to work with. I look forward to having her watch them again..
Barbara is the most kind and compassionate person I have ever know. Her empathy knows no bounds. She is filled with so much love. Barbara had had animals throughout her life. I am positive she will be a great caretaker for your family pet!
My husband and I went away on a one week trip and I needed someone to check in on our house, water plants, take in the mail and walk our dog. Barbara did it all perfectly. I would highly recommend her. Professional, loves animals and respectful.
Barbara is a great pet and house sitter. She was kind and loving to Moe (my Sheepdoodle) and took care of my home perfectly. Trustworthy and followed my instructions. I would definitely use her again.

Schedule
I am fortunate to have great flexibility in my role as a health care consultant. It is very part-time and often remote. I always have ample notice about my work, which allows me to keep commitments I make as a house sitter.
