Dog sitter to the rescue!

Hi! I am an energetic dog lover. I had my own dog for 14 years and in 2020 adopted a senior Maltese who was the joy of my life for 6 years. Dogs are truly special for me- I understand they are more than just animals- they are an extension of the family, and that's how I treat them. I will take care of your dog like it's my own! I will make sure they don't feel lonely, are fed and taken good care of. Why leave your friend alone when you are going away? Let them have some fun too and let them spend time with me! Feel free to contact me with any questions :)

Doggy Day Care • Oct 07, 2021

Barbara is literally the best and so, so helpful. She took care of my dog for 3 days when I had an extremely intense schedule. She accommodated drop off and pick up and was always early - when I arrived she was already downstairs waiting for me and I really appreciate that. She is experienced and can identify the needs of my dog and update me accordingly. When my dog returned to her place for the 2nd and 3rd day my dog looked so happy to be with her again. I’ll definitely have her taken care of my dog again if necessary

I was extremely pleased with Barbara’s care of my puppy, Trixie. She provided feedback and pics on all her activities throughout the evening. I won’t hesitate to use her again. Highly recommend!

Dog Walking • Nov 28, 2017

Barbara was great. She took good care of my dog. I always worry because my dog is fairly large and she pulls on a leash but Barbara got her back home safely after each walk. She sent me pictures and let me know how my dog was doing while I was away. I will definitely message her again when I need someone to take care of my pup.

A typical day

I will be happy to take your fur baby to the dog park if they like that, walking around the neighborhood and exploring new smells is always fun! There is never a bad time to play
