Safety, trust & environment

Keeping your pet comfortable and safe is my main priority! • Dog Walking 🐶 🐾 - I always look both ways before crossing. When I see other dogs, I tend to stay away to avoid any potential conflict. • Drop-In Visits/House Sitting 🏠 - Every single pet is unique! I normally follow their lead in the level of attention needed - I can be as energetic or as low key and chill as your pet. However, you know your pets best - I’d like to follow your parenting style and possibly assist in correcting behaviors, if needed. As for your home - I love a clean space so I’ll keep it clean and tidy.

Information Barbara N. would like to know about your pet

Please share your pets likes/peeves, eating and bathroom habits, and leave a detailed set of care instructions. If your fur baby require special needs or care, please share and be as detailed as possible! I’ll follow your instructions exactly as required. Again, your pet's comfort and safety is my main priority! Incase you’re unavailable, be sure to share an additional emergency contact's information.

A typical day

I’m fun, creative and energetic. Love giving belly rubs, snuggles, walks, and playing catch or tug-of-war. Depending on your pets needs and personality, I will accommodate and create a meaningful routine for your fur baby!

Pet care experience

While I don’t own any pets, I’m a huge animal lover and whisperer. I‘ve walked dogs and pet-sat for friends and family whenever they traveled, for years. I'm… • A quick learner • Punctual + Reliable + Flexible • Communicative • Detail-oriented + Clean + Organized • Playful & Caring Over the years, I’ve learned that each pet is unique and require different care. And there is ALWAYS something new to learn. I hope we’ll have the opportunity to work together :)! I look forward to getting to know your fur babies.

I feel so comfortable knowing that my cat has been left in Barbara’s care. She pays close attention to his eating habits and keeps me updated, always plays with him and makes sure he gets treats and affection. I would highly recommend Barbara for any pets’ care.

Barbara is the best! She has watched my kitties twice now and I feel confident they are in good hands in her care. She sends lots of photos and videos, and takes care of everything from litter, to food/water, and making sure they get some attention ❤️ (I have very affectionate/human-loving cats so this is important for me to find in a sitter!) highly recommend 😊
