Pet care experience

I'll care for yours like my own 💚

I've had cats and dogs since I was young. I was an only child so responsibility came with time but my love for animals came immediately. Bathing, feeding, and walking didn't seem so tough when you love em so much. In my 40s now, and I have learned a lot about their needs and wants. I also know how important our furbabies are to our lives and our livelihoods. They are more than a pet, for sure! I currently do not work, which makes my schedule pretty much open for most any day and time to accommodate all of your schedule needs. I have over 2,000 sqft of living space for roaming, or crating- whatever the need, or can be filled. There are no rules for pets from me, unless requested from a parent. I live in a pet friendly community that has 3 different parks within a block to accommodate walking/ exercising. I am playful and attentive, and your baby will thrive.

Barbara is a true gem. We've booked her multiple times and I never worry when she takes care of our fur baby. Do yourself a favor a book her.

Barbara is amazing. This was our first leaving our new puppy and he was in great loving hands with Barbara. She'll treat your furbaby as her own. I highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

I have 3 floors of house to roam freely. If a crate is needed, I've plenty of space to help them feel right at home. When we go outside, I require a leash to make sure we stay together at all times. If I'm at your place, I am able to accommodate your routine as best as possible. If you've a yard, a preferred park, or specific walking paths, then we can maintain those schedules without issue.

Pets

A typical day

Going for walks to the park, AND going for car rides, are some of the fun times we'll have together! The walk to the real grass park is filled with smells of all kinds, so the journey is long and exciting. I use my second floor for playing ball too! Doggies get to play with a ball that ricochets all over the place. So much fun!

Please ensure that I know of any special needs your baby has...with food, or medicine, or their potty routines, etc. I will be able to accommodate their needs. And with all the info you can share with me, I'll be a proper fill-in while you're away. Your loved one will enjoy their vacation away while maintaining necessary aspects of life. I want everyone to be happy, of course!
