Trustworthy Sitter-Your house/Mine

Pet care experience

I've been taking care of dogs in my home and theirs for almost 7 years now in the Madison area. I recently moved to Waukesha and would like to start that up again...but I now live in a condo so can only take small dogs here. If you're comfortable with me staying at your house, I would love to get to know your fur babies and love them as my own! I always like to set up a meet and greet first, and I have references if need be. I hope to meet you and your 4-legged friends soon!

Barbara did a wonderful job of taking care of my 6 year old very shy Golden Retriever! Barbara sent me pictures and kept me updated on how she was doing! I will definitely book another stay with her!

Barbara was great! She was responsive, flexible and quick to respond/communicate! Cash, our almost 3 year old lab, was exhausted when he got home … meaning he got just what he needed while with Barbara! We’d definitely book with her again!

We had Barbara take care of our dog, Steeler, for a family wedding. As this was the first time we had ever left Steeler, we were extremely nervous, but Barbara did a wonderful job taking care of him. She sent us pictures and gave us updates throughout the weekend on how he was doing. If we ever have a situation where we need a sitter again, I will definitely use Barbara!

Barbara was wonderful with my timid little guy. She kept me updated with what he was up to and provided pictures as well. She was very accommodating with scheduling a pre-stay visit so Rufus could get to know the area and with scheduling the visit itself which had a few variables. Then when my flight was delayed quite a bit she was understanding and helpful when adjusting the plan. Rufus is a shy and timid puppy and he felt right at home during his stay.
