Retired Pet Loving Teacher

Pet care experience

I have taken care of all kinds of dogs over my many years. I love dogs more than people I think!! I have administered insulin to our senior schnoodle who needed shots 2x a day. I've assisted our other senior with a walking belt when she could no longer navigate independently. I've trained puppies, and I've loved many. Our marriage has been filled with corgis, schnoodles, and now morkies. I will take good care of your babies and make sure they are safe and happy.

Barbara is a loving pet owner who is very attentive to your pets needs. As a dog owner herself she cooks for her dogs and they sleep in her bed. They are truly part of the family. She has experience with special need pets too. I would trust her with my pet needs anytime it is needed.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and a doggie door that allows your dog to go in and out as needed. My dogs have a lot of freedom in our home, they climb on the couch or bed, and sleep under the buffet. They are spoiled with fancy foods and treats. In your home, it's your rules, so I'll make sure to take the same care of your pet as you do.

Information Barbara w. would like to know about your pet

I had a diabetic dog and was used to giving insulin. I also had an autoimmune deficiency dog and was used to giving oral medications. My dog is afraid of his own shadow and very timid so I’m used to being kind and safe when approaching.

A typical day

My dogs love the dog park. They love to play with other dogs. We go to the small dog park because they’re intimidated by the larger dogs my dog actually don’t like to be walked on leashes so I don’t do that. A dog park is the best I can do I have a fenced in yard and they love to play with their toys.
