Experience with all kinds of pets!

Pet care experience

I'm an incurable animal lover, and have lots of experience caring for dogs and cats, as well as snakes, turtles, frogs, salamanders, fish, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs and ponies. I have had a lifetime of close, loving relationships with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I'm a recently retired naturalist and am a wildlife biologist by degree. I've had dogs and cats for pets all of my life. My most recent pet was a beautiful lab mix, Tucker. He was my best friend and constant companion for 13 years but recently crossed the rainbow bridge. So I have plenty of free time, and am ready to spoil your pet with lots of love and fun! I can visit your pet in your home up to 3 times daily to walk, feed, play and cuddle as needed by your fur baby. I can also stay overnight, or I can bring your pet to stay with me at my lake house.

This was the first time we used Barbara and it definitely won’t be the last! She was so attentive to our little fellas and sent videos and pictures and we could tell the boys were right at home and loved her! Just wish we had found her sooner for our other dog who recently passed away. He would have loved her too ❤️

We have been using Barbara now for quite a few months and we couldn't be more pleased with her taking care of our 2 Aussies! Our fur babies love her so much, and we ALL consider her part of our family. Recently, we had an emergency where one dog mom was at work and the other dog mom had to be taken to ER. Barbara was available at a moments notice to help care for, feed, play with and love our precious fur babies. She was life saver! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for the greatest caregiver and lover of all animals.
