Barbara was amazing!! She asked great questions to make sure our dog got the right care, she sent photos, and even took our dog on an adventure! It was clear she was taking very good care of her while we were away, and that our dog felt very comfortable with her by the end of the stay. We will definitely be asking Barbara to watch our pet in the future.

Marvin had a great stay with Barbara! He seemed to enjoy his time there. He was very happy at pick up and drop off time, and was having fun and was settled right in in all of the pictures we received! I highly recommend Barbara!

Barbara was absolutely amazing with my dog. From the very beginning, she was warm, attentive, and clearly experienced. She kept me consistently updated with photos and videos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. Definitely a great person to trust

Schedule

Hi! I'm self-employed and usually work just 5–6 hours a day, which leaves me plenty of time to take care of your dog. I'd love to offer reliable and attentive dog sitting—your pup will get lots of company, attention, and care throughout the day!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a cozy apartment with a private backyard that includes a dog toilet—perfect for quick outdoor breaks. Also surrounded by plenty of parks and green spaces, so your dog will enjoy lots of walks, playtime, and fresh air every day. It’s a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your pup will feel right at home!

A typical day

I love keeping dogs active — both physically and mentally. When your pup is with me, I’ll play all sorts of fun games to burn energy and stay sharp. I’ll head out to explore the neighborhood, sniff out all the exciting new scents, and take trips to a big park nearby for even more adventure. Whether it’s a lively game of fetch or a peaceful stroll, your dog will get the perfect mix of play, stimulation, and love.

Before your pet stays with me, I’d love to know a few things to make sure they have the best experience possible: Daily routine: Mealtimes, potty breaks, usual walk schedule, bedtime. Energy level & favorite activities: Are they playful, mellow, or somewhere in between? Behavioral notes: Any quirks, fears, or triggers (e.g. other dogs, loud noises, etc.). Health info: Medications, allergies, past injuries, or anything to keep an eye on. Training cues & commands: What words or hand signals do they respond to? Social preferences: Do they like other dogs, kids, or prefer solo time? Feeding details: Type of food, portion size, and any treat rules. The more I know, the more I can care for your pet just like you do!
