Pet care experience

Dogs are my grandchildren!

No matter who I'm with or where I am, I stop and say hello to every dog I meet (after confirming with their owner it's ok to pet them). I I love cats too.

Barbara spent time with Simon at each visit. She never missed a feeding and he was fine when I came home.

Barbara was on time and communicated with us every day. Her love of dogs is apparent and she is very kind. I will definitely use her services again!

House Sitting • nov 18, 2024

Barbara was a very good communicator, sent pix etc and always responded quickly to any query. She was attentive to details and instructions as to my dog's routine and safety concerns. She was tidy and the house was the same as I left it, and sheets and towels were left in the washing machine. I would definitely use her services again. My dog was relaxed and happy upon my return

Schedule

I'm recently retired. I have two rescue dogs (Woody and Ricky Rooney). Helping someone else with their pet will make me happy since I can't adopt any more dogs right now.
