Pet care experience
I recently moved back to the Newport News area and I look forward to meeting new pet parents and your fur babies. I have had dogs and cats throughout my life starting with my dog Peanuts who my parents gave me when I was 5 years old. He was a Fox Terrier. He lived to be only 13 because of a heart defect,, but he was my best buddy for many years. After his passing,, I was given an orange tabby/angora which my mom named Morris. He lived a very long life,(19 years). I went on to own many wonderful dogs and cats over the years. My current pet is a French bulldog named Frankie. She is a bit of a diva but she gets along well with dogs and cats.
Reviews
Barbara is a loving pet sitter and took wonderful care of my house! She let me know what my pets were doing each day and handled them with loving care. I highly recommend her!
Barbara was very easy to talk to.She also made herself available when I needed her for a holiday.She took great care of my kitty Mo .When I need Rover again I will be sure to ask for Barbara .
Caring, nurturing, attentive.
I’m so sorry I didn’t leave this review sooner! We booked with Barbara this past week and she was an absolute blessing and kind soul to our senior pup. She let him stay at her house and loved on him all day! She was very professional and sent me pictures of my pup throughout each day! I’m so happy I found River and I’m so happy I found Barbara! We will definitely be using her services again! Thank you so much ❤️ love Rico’s mom

Safety, trust & environment
I have a small backyard that is not fenced but I live in a very walkable neighborhood. We can walk down the street about a half a block and take a stroll along the water. I take Frankie for walks there regularly. She loves it. I always try to make a new pet as comfortable as possible in my home. I want them to feel safe and loved.

Information Barbara S. would like to know about your pet
It is helpful if I know as much about your fur baby as possible so that I can accommodate them. Please let me know if they have to take any kind of medication or if they have a special diet that needs to be followed.
A typical day
I have a small unfenced backyard. But I have a very walkable neighborhood. If you have a senior or a couch potato we can snuggle up on the bed and watch Netflix.
