Loving Care When You’re Not There
As a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of experience caring for my own dogs and cats, as well as pets of friends and acquaintances, I treat every animal as if they were my own—with warmth, patience, and genuine affection. Pet owners know they can count on me for dependable, trustworthy care, whether it’s a daily visit or an extended stay. I take pride in building strong bonds with both pets and their people, offering peace of mind through consistent communication, attention to detail, and a deep commitment to each animal’s comfort and happiness.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and stress-free environment. In my clean, safe, and secure apartment, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, with routines tailored to their needs. When visiting a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s familiar routine, ensuring comfort and consistency with feeding, walks, and companionship. My goal is always to provide reliable, nurturing care that gives both pets and their people peace of mind.
Ratings and reviews
Barbara was wonderful with our frenchie! She shared regular updates, and our dog was super happy to spend time with her. She also left our home immaculate and we didn't have to worry about a thing.
Barbara was a fantastic dog sitter for our pups! She was very communicative, and took great care of the dogs and house. Can't wait to use her services again!
I’ve had Barbara house sit with my animals two times now, and she has been communicative and helpful each time. I was running around before my trip and I forgot to leave her instructions in my home, but she was super understanding and helpful when I reached out with notes on medication and food. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!
Barbara was fantastic. She took excellent care of our dog and our house. She sent us pictures everyday and let us know how things were going. She took our doggie on regular walks and cared for him as if he were hers. He was a very happy dog when we got home. I highly recommend Barbara!!
Barbara was conscientious and caring with my aging miniature poodle. She also left my apartment sparkling. I recommend her for in home dog sitting.
Barbara is a total pleasure! Clearly a dog lover, she eased our anxiety about leaving our puppy alone for the first time. They had a great night and we're looking forward to working with Barbara again!
