Dancer Dog lover

Pet care experience

Hey Everybody my Name is Barbara i grow up in Switzerland and i am from Brazil. I am a Dancer/ Instructor. I grow up with Dogs and Cats. My last 2 dogs were a shitzu of 8 years old and a 4 year old Pitbull. I work at the shelter when i have some free time. And i organize dance fundraisers twice a year for the shelters. I am an high energy person that loves to be outside as much as possible. I treat dogs as family members. Because they are so loving and they bring so much to me. I love them and couldn't live without them since my dogs passed away my life hasn't been the same. Taking care of them makes me happy and whole again.

Barbara is hands down the best dog walker / dog-sitter I have ever had. She is dependable, caring, responsible, and most importantly, my dog loves her! She's been great at helping last-minute, but also in scheduling weeks in advance. She's easy to get ahold of, and always very responsive. Walking, playing, feeding, cuddling, giving medicine -- she does it all, and she does it well. I wouldn't trust my dog to ANYONE else.

Barbra has been watching my Chihuahua for over a year now. I won’t leave him with anyone else . He is very spoiled and as some small dogs can be snappy with strangers . He requires a lot of attention including being fed by hand sometimes because he is a picky eater. Also he needs cough medicine administered every 4-6 hours. She always takes the time to care for him the way he needs to be. I saw this first hand when she had been watching my roomates dog years ago and have used her every time I’ve been away since. She is a genuinely kind person who loves animals. I went to Thailand for 30 days and she always takes pics and sends them to me while Im gone . By the end of the trip I was jealous and shocked at how much he seemed to love her ! This being said I would never leave him in boarding ever again . She is kind ,punctual, clean and reliable. I trust her in my home and with my dog . Highly recommended!

Barbara is one of the most compassionate and loving person I know. She has a true love of animals and is able to relate to each one on an individual basis. She is genuinely concerned about well-being of all dogs in the world and very much into volunteering and helping shelter animals as well. She is wonderfully patient so she will be a great help in training as she enforces house rules and follows through on training strategies for dogs. In addition, she is extremely dependable, reliable and punctual. I have complete confidence in her judgment, common sense, reliability and most of all on her kindness towards our animals. Whoever hires her as a dog sitter is lucky and will be totally comfortable to leave the dog with her knowing the dog is being looked after by someone who truly cares for their welfare and safety. I would strongly recommend her to sit anyone’s pet.
