Dog walking and cat sitting fit well into my schedule. After more than 20 years as a music teacher, I have decided to go in a different direction with my time. I have a flexible schedule and I look forward to coordinating days and times that work well for your specific needs.

Safety, trust & environment

My pets are important to me. Their basic needs must be met, and of course love and play are imperative as well. Being responsible for your pets walking needs and safety is what I provide. Peace that your pet is in good hands is something that is important to me when I am away and I would not want any less for you.

Information Barbara M. would like to know about your pet

Please tell me about your pet(s). What do they like and dislike? Please describe their temperament and any behavior I should be more careful about and expect. And of course, send me pics! I look forward to time with your pet.

A typical day

Playing catch or with your pets favorite toys will be part of our time together. Sniffing on walks with careful consideration to your pets surroundings for their internal and external protection is of the utmost importance to me. Cuddling with those who are not too skittish is my favorite.

Pet Pics Please!

Pet care experience

My friends and family make sure to send me cute and funny pics of their fur babies because I love pets! They are so sweet and they just make me laugh too! I’ve always been surrounded by cats and dogs. I love to horseback ride and be out in nature. Or inside cuddling with my pets. Please consider me for sitting your cat or walking your dog. They are in great hands with me.
