Pet care experience

For Pet’s sake!

Hi, I’m Barbara! After growing up in Brazil surrounded by all kinds of pets, then going to school for biology, I’ve always been most at home around animals. I’ve sat for chickens, lizards, dogs, cats, and bunnies, and love meeting and spending time with new friends of all kinds, getting paid for it is just a bonus! I’m comfortable caring for older animals and pets with special needs, so just let me know if there’s anything I can do to make your pet have the best possible experience. I look forward to meeting your little ones!

Barb is an angel. She has rescued my grand dogs on several occasions during emergencies so I have one thing less to worry about. And they love her.

I am always so comfortable me leaving my puppies with Barb. She puts so much effort into making sure they are comfortable and always send me so many pictures so I know they’re ok. I will always use her if she’s available. I know they love her and that makes me feel so happy.

Barbara took wonderful care of our literal funny farm while we were away on a long trip. Everything about the experience was top notch. She is a fantastic communicator and is amazing with all of our animals. We wholeheartedly recommend Barbara and will continue to re-book her every chance we can.
