Highlights
Pet care experience
I treat them like they are my own!
Trusting someone with your family member is an important decision. My #1 priority is to make sure you and your pet are relaxed and at ease. I am a great communicator and have excellent relationships with my clients, so that I can always stay on top of your pets needs. I am also experienced with puppies, (especially Corgis and Goldens) as well as elderly pets. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet to see if I am a good fit.

Ratings and reviews
Barbara was wonderful with my dog, Mila. Mila wakes up very early and needs extra attention, and Barbara was patient, caring, and attentive to her needs. I felt comfortable knowing Mila was in good hands. I highly recommend Barbara to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.
She was very thorough and sweet with my fur babies!! I didn’t worry at all they were being taken care of.
Barbara was amazing with Sherman! He is always a bit shy at the start and she was very understanding. He warmed up super fast and had a great visit!! If we are in the area again, we will absolutely use Barbara to watch Sherman!
So responsive and responsible with my dog. Sent tons of photos and was very reassured she was in the best of hands. Took her on tons of walks and my girl came back so happy! Will definitely use Barbara again!
Barbara was amazing! I felt completely at ease on my trip and knew Binx was in great hands. She was patient with him and made sure he got his pills on time. I loved her updates! I came home to a happy, relaxed cat. I could not have asked for a better sitter and am grateful I found her!
There is genuinely not a single person on this earth that I trust my pets with aside from Barbara. I usually have such anxiety leaving my animals when I go out of town for work, but with her there I know they're going to get just as much attention, love, and supervision as I give them while home. She treats them like her own and they LOVE her. Even my cats who hide from visitors emerge when she comes over. My big scaredy cat Bobbie runs over and sits in her lap on the couch. There is literally no one else she has ever done that to aside from me! Leaving cats in particular is difficult because they're so sensitive to change and new people, so I really love knowing that they are not only safe but comfortable and relaxed with her while I'm away. I cannot say enough good things about her.

I have full availability - mornings, afternoons, evenings and weekends. I have some regular clients but I am also good in a pinch and can usually accommodate last minute requests.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
As mentioned, I will treat your pet like I would my own, always making sure that they are well taken care of -- I can provide a relaxed atmosphere or engage in play time. Everything is personalized to your pets needs. I also board/pet sit small to medium dogs and cats in my home - day care, overnights or vacations.
Pets
A typical day
For energetic dogs, when it's not 80 degrees out, I like to take them on a nice long walk usually towards Verdugo Park, where we can observe the neighborhood squirrels. For older dogs, it's usually a quiet stroll stopping along the way for what I like to call a "sniff session" for stimulation. Cats? Well cats get lots of pets, I have a knack for winning over the shy ones. :)
