Pet Pics Please!

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.

Pets

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.

Barbara is always great to communicate with, punctual, and most importantly, wonderful with my dogs. She also shares pictures so I see how happy they are when she visits. Thanks!

Barbara is my go-to for my cats. My cats love her and trust her. She does lots of extra little things that give me peace of mind while I’m on my trips. She provides lots of pictures and good updates.

Schedule

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.
