Caring Dog Walker & Boarding
Caring Dog Walker, Boarding & Cat Care I’ve cared for dogs and cats for friends and neighbors for years and have also done extensive volunteer work with animals. It’s something I’m truly passionate about. I’ve always considered myself an animal advocate and take pride in making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. With dogs, I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace, and I tailor walks and care to each dog’s individual needs. I also love caring for cats and understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m happy to provide affection and companionship while also respecting when a cat prefers a little space. I’m attentive, patient, dependable, and always focused on each pet’s well-being.

Ratings and reviews
Barbara's took great care of our Ellie, giving her plenty of attention--they had lots of play time and walks. Her communication was good sending pictures and video's to us all along the way. She even sent Ellie home with a new favorite toy.
Barbara was the best sitter ever!! My Yorkie was so happy
Ms Barbara always takes such great care of our Koko Glytz. We can leave her with a peace of mind. And we always we doggy mail with pics!
Barbara made our vacation a worry free experience. We appreciated her updates and care for our Charlie’s well being!
Barbara is an outstanding caregiver who looked after our Ellie as if she were her own. She provided pictures and updates throughout her stay and even returned her with a couple of new tricks that she had taught her. We couldn't be happier with Barbara's care and attention.
Barbara is a gem! We haven’t been able to travel because our Golden has unique needs, but we had a fantastic meet&greet and successful trial sleepover. Barbara is attentive, caring, and treats our fur baby like her own with lots of love. Our furbaby was relaxed and at ease with Barbara, which made leaving her behind a worry free experience!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my home, I follow their regular routine to keep them comfortable and relaxed. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have plenty of fresh water, and get the right amount of exercise and attention. I take time for play, walks, and companionship, always keeping their safety my top priority. I treat every pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own. My home is pet-friendly with plenty of space to play, nap, and explore.
A typical day
I love keeping pets active, happy, and engaged! Depending on their personality and energy level, activities may include long walks, playful fetch sessions, or quiet cuddle time for relaxation. For curious pups, I enjoy exploring new walking routes and giving them time to sniff and discover. I always focus on safety, fun, and plenty of affection-making sure each pet feels loved, comfortable, and content while we’re together.

- Please share your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs. I’d love to know their walking style, favorite activities, and any health or training details so I can give them the safest, most attentive care possible.
