Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication when caring for pets in a client’s home. I carefully follow feeding, medication, and care instructions, pay close attention during walks and visits, and always make sure pets feel comfortable, calm, and secure in their environment.

Information Barbara O. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your pet’s routine, personality, triggers, meal requirements, medical needs, allergies, leash behavior, or anything else that helps me provide the best care possible!

A typical day

A typical visit depends on each pet’s personality and energy level. Some pets love long sniffy walks and playtime, while others prefer a calmer environment and extra companionship. I enjoy keeping pets engaged, comfortable, and happy through walks, play, enrichment, and one-on-one attention tailored to their needs!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Barb. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and small animals for over 10 years, including my own pets. I am available for daily walks, feeding, playtime, drop-in visits, litter box cleaning, and medication routines. I have experience with active and senior pets, shy cats, and animals that need extra patience and reassurance. Puppies and kittens are also welcome. Hope to hear from you soon!

Barbara is absolutely wonderful with all kinds of pets from dogs and cats to fish, reptiles and smaller mammals. She is responsible, trustworthy, and most of all she absolutely adores every animal.

One of Barb’s most defining traits is her love for animals. She is one of those people that will consistently remember your pets birthdays (and bring presents!) or stop by just to say hi to the pets. Her own pets were all rescued off the street and she’s provided all the love, care, and kindness any animal could hope for. Barb has a big heart and applies it fully when it comes to caring for pets.
