Love and care for every pet!

Pet care experience

I've been a pet lover since I can remember. I am not only diligent in taking care of pets, but I pride myself in providing overall quality service. Pets need to feel safe and happy while the owners are away, and owners need to feel at ease that their pets and house are in good hands. That is why I will go the extra mile to ensure your comfort and trust!

Barbara was amazing! Her communication was top notch and she was so patient as weather threatened our plans. She took great care of our animals (2 dogs and one cat) and of our home. She went WAY above and beyond and we would recommend Barbara 100%. She is kind, smart, loving, and super capable!!! THANK YOU, Barbara!!

Barbara was so sweet and patient with our one year old Havanese, who is very nervous around people he doesn't know. She sent me lots of photo updates and took great care of both our pup and our house! Highly recommend Barbara for your pet sitting needs!

Safety, trust & environment

Because I live in a small apartment with limited space, I only accept jobs that require/offer me to stay at the client's home. When at the client's home, I make sure I get all the information I need regarding the pet's schedule and dietary needs. Depending on the weather and physical ability of the dog(s), I'll take it/them on daily walks.

Information Barbara S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pets have any special needs or behaviors I should be aware of. During the meet and greet, I'll definitely make sure to ask about their day-to-day schedule and what kind of activities they like to engage in. If you do consider me for Drop Ins, please keep in mind I live in Castle Rock and will add an additional fee for gas and time spent driving if you live outside of the Castle Rock Area.

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs mentally and physically; I notice they tend to love me more that way! Or, if the dog(s) are low maintenance I'll spend my time near them, hanging out, and even taking them on walks around the neighborhood.

(Updated January 3, 2024) I am currently a full-time student and unemployed, so I will have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need, and fulfill any chores that need to be done around the house. My school schedule requires me to attend in-person classes Tuesday/Thursday's 11am-4pm and Wednesdays from 9am-12pm in Denver starting January 16, 2024. I also volunteer at a food bank in Parker from 9:30-around 2 on Friday's. If that doesn't work for your pet needs, please communicate that to me and I'll skip a Friday!
