Barbara has watched our 8 year old female Austrian shepard on several occasions. We trust her in our home. She keeps things/areas she uses neat and clean. We just recently added a male Aussie to our home. He will be 4 months old in a couple weeks. She walks the dogs, feeds and plays with them. The puppy loves to get into things he's not supposed to, and she's great about cleaning up the messes. Her love for animals clearly shows when she interacts with them. We will definitely use Barbara for all our pet sitting needs.
