Experienced Trusted Dependable

Pet care experience

I have over 10 years work experience at a boarding/doggie daycare facility, continually making sure the animals were both physically and mentally well. I had many responsibilies which included monitoring dog play groups, feeding, walking and personlized one-on-one play. I also have my Veterinary Assistant Certification and was employed at an animal hospital in the in-patient/ER department. I can also look in on your kitty or other cretures too. I have had dogs all my life as well as cats, guinea pigs and a snake. I will bring dedication and professionalism to you and your pets as a dog walker. I will provide food, water, properly administer medications as needed, pick up and dispose of waste, and lots of belly rubs. I am excited to utilize my skills and experience to make a positive impact on your pet family!

We are so glad we chose Barbara to look after our two cats while we were away for a week long vacation! She made every effort to make sure we felt comfortable entrusting her with access to our home and care of our animals. Even though we just needed some basic feeding and litter box cleanings, she made the effort to interact with our cats and we enjoyed the photos she sent from each visit. Her attention to detail really brought us comfort while being away. Thank you Barbara!!

Barbara is wonderful with our dog. She spent time walking and playing with Meeko twice today. It’s a great comfort to know our dog is in good loving hands when we are away. We would most definitely use Barbara again.

Barbara is great! She is punctual and cares for our dog as if he were her own. She leaves descriptive feedback and sends lots of “pupdates”!

Information Barbara R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know what their typical schedule is like, where they like to walk, what their favorite toy is and what makes them happiest! Also, I love all breeds but will not care for a pet that has high aggression toward people or a pet weighing a substantial amount without proper leash training. My past rescue dog had trouble walking later in life and required a wheelchair, so I am experienced in caring for dogs who need that little extra attention.

A typical day

If your dog likes to play ball, I'll play ball. If they perfer to just have a nice walk for excercise that's fine too! And of course belly rubs are in order. I will also update with pictures from our time together.
