Pet care experience

A loving home for your loving pet!

Current work schedule: Mondays for 10 hours. Available other days of week. I currently don’t have a dog but I’ve always loved and had dogs my whole life so I'm excited to care for your pet and enjoy their company. I was devoted to my previous senior dog who was deaf and blind. I’m patient, nurturing, and love being outdoors for walks! I usually work 8-3 allowing plently of time after work for walks and playing, making me a great fit as a dog sitter. Im occasionally off work on some week days too. I hope to provide companionship for your pet while ensuring you feel relaxed knowing they are loved, safe, and having fun

Barbara really helped us out last second! She was super accommodating and helpful every step of the way. Our pup came back happy and exhausted which is hard to do for our guy! Thank you so much!

Barbara was wonderful! She was so accommodating and agreed to watch Skyler for an overnight on short notice. She went above and beyond to make her feel safe and comfortable and gave her extra love and attention during thunderstorms, which normally scare her. Barbara also kept me updated with the sweetest photos, I can’t recommend her enough!

Gizmo seemed to really enjoy his time. Got lots of pictures and would have her board Gizmo again.

I highly recommend Barbara for dog boarding or dog sitting needs. She truly loves animals and provides a nurturing environment. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog, Bandit was in such good hands, and I’m grateful for the wonderful care he received. What really stood out to me was the constant communication. Barbara sent plenty of picture updates and videos of Bandit playing with his toys, which reassured me that my dog was not only safe but also having a blast. It was heartwarming to see how much love and attention Barbara gave to Bandit during his stay.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a very safe and quiet neighborhood, right around the block from my favorite walking trail and inside, my condo gets a lot of sunlight which is always nice!

A typical day

I usually start the mornings relaxing on the balcony and then head outside for a pleasant stroll around the block. If the weather is nice, we might hit the trail for a longer walk. Afterward, we return indoors for some play time if they’d like or always happen to relax and give them pets if that’s what they prefer

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Takes only 1 client at a time
Barbara can host up to 2 pets per night
The only downfall is that I live in a condo building with neighbors near by so I would be unable to board any dogs that bark while being left at home
