Loving, Reliable Care You Can Count

I’ve spent more than 25 years caring for my own dogs and cats, and I know pets are family. I’ll treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping their routine, my goal is to help your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.

Barb is a true gem!! She goes above and beyond in her care, always loving our pup as her own. I know I can always trust Barb to not only provide exceptional care but treats our home with the utmost respect as well. Without a doubt I can always count on her time and time again. Thankful to have a peace of mind when it comes to the type of care she is giving our dog.

Barbara was absolutely amazing with my chihuahua, Pepe. He is a disabled, elderly dog, so I was very hesitant to leave him in someone else’s care while I attended a funeral. Pepe has a big personality, and is very high maintenance. Barbara followed all the instructions I left to a T, and kept me updated while Pepe was in her care. I am so grateful that Barbara was able to care for my fur baby with such attention to detail and genuine care.

Barb was an absolute joy to take care of my cats, Fanta and Cashmere, for two weeks while I was moving across the country. She went all-out with making sure my fur babies were clean, comfortable, and loved while I was away. I never had to worry for even a moment because she was so consistent and reliable with them. I highly recommend Barb to love and care for your furry companions!

I highly recommend Barbara...and her husband, Mike...for the care of our precious pets. She is very responsible, very protective, and very loving towards all kinds of dogs. I know from experience that she has given the best care for our two mini-dachshunds. I had no worries at all. Plus, I know of both Barbara and Mike taking in their fellow employees' pets right into their home for care so they can go on vacation without any concerns. The dogs love her...they will cuddle and play with her. Yes, Barbara is ideal for Rover...for any client who desires to place their loved pet into safe care.

Schedule

I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, overnight care, weekend visits, or extra attention while you’re traveling, I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I’ll make sure they receive the love, exercise, and attention they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always come first. With more than 25 years of caring for dogs and cats, I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I’ll provide loving, dependable care, follow your instructions closely, and make sure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and genuinely loved. I’ll also send regular updates and photos because I know the best part of being away is knowing your best friend is doing great.

Pets

A typical day

I love making sure pets stay happy, active, and mentally stimulated while they’re in my care. Depending on the pet’s personality, I enjoy going on walks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, or interactive toy games that keep them engaged. For more energetic pets, I like longer walks, outdoor playtime, and safe exploration to help them burn off energy. For more relaxed pets, I focus on gentle play, cuddles, brushing, and companionship so they feel calm and loved.

Every pet is unique, so I love learning about them before their stay or visit. I’d like to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite toys and activities, any medications or medical conditions, allergies, fears or anxieties, and how they interact with people and other animals. It’s also helpful to know their potty routine, any house rules (like whether they’re allowed on furniture), and what helps them feel safe and comfortable. My goal is to keep your pet happy, loved, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re away.
