Thanks so much for taking good care of Cheto! Barbara provided constant regarding Cheto and pictures, my family lover to see them and make us smile.

Barbara took excellent care of Pepper with long walks, cuddles and time to be off leash in her backyard (which he loves but seldom gets as our yard isn’t fenced.) She sent us regular pictures, too. Barbara has a quiet, loving manner and I would highly recommend her as a caregiver for your fur baby. Thank you, Barbara.

Barbara was amazing! She attended fully to the needs of my dog, and went above and beyond with regards to care. Barbara sent regular photos whilst we were away, and I could see that my dog was happy and content. I would not hesitate to recommend Barbara to prospective clients and I would certainly use her again.
