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 a fantastic sitter! Very accommodating and communicative! Reached out daily with updates using photos and videos. We are glad to have found a sitter who knows how to board a senior cat with CKD and Hyperthyroid. Very appreciative of her recap at the end of the booking. We will absolutely come back!
Barbara was very responsive and helpful. She took great care of my dog while we were at a wedding nearby.
Barbara is a lifesaver! I had a last minute booking and she accommodated. She was very caring for my dog while he had an illness. She updated me everyday about Diego’s condition, I knew he was in good hands. She’s was very attentive with Diego’s schedule. Diego had a good time with her. Thank you Barbara for taking care of my loved one.
Bruno had an amazing time! She took great care!
Barbara was very attentive and communicative. She sent photos on a daily basis and took great care of Shelby. Thank you!
Barbara was a fabulous carer for my cat and was flexible with timing. She made my shy cat comfortable enough to interact. Would highly recommend!!

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.
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. :)

- The more I get to know your pet, I can better tailor the walks or check-ins to their needs. I will respect their individual likes and dislikes, to make it an enjoyable and stress-free time for them.
