Senior dog experience

Safety, trust & environment

I am able to take the dog outside frequently on a leash to do its business and perhaps a short walk. When in my home I spent a lot of time in my chair and like sitting with a dog in my lap to pet. I generally sleep in my chair and would prefer the dog to be crated at night. if not he can be in his own bed next to my chair. If I care for a dog in your home I may be able to take up to a medium sized dog and perhaps more than one but only if it is a fenced in yard. I do not feel comfortable walking larger dogs.

Information Barbara M. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has a specific feeding schedule and amount of food or if you free feed, also any other information I might need specific to your dog.

A typical day

Because I am older and retired I am not particulary active in my daily routine and would prefer an older less active dog. If I do go out its usually in the morning and I'm home by lunch. I would not probably take a dog with me when I went out.

Pet care experience

My name is Barbara. I have pet sat for many friends of mine over the last 15 years, but sadly they have either moved or are no longer with us.

From the moment I met Barbara I knew my pet would be safe with her. Skai took to her right away. Her home was peaceful and welcoming. Barbara kept me updated- assuring me our dog was doing well. I will definitely use her services again.

Barbara was very understanding that we needed to cancel at the last minute.

Wonderful. I have the freedom to leave Oakleigh and fly to the west coast. And I don’t worry for even one minute.

My dog is well taken care of and I can leave her with Barbara without a worry…every time. I am thankful.
