Dog sitter to the rescue!

Pet care experience

Hi! I am an energetic dog lover. I had my own dog for 14 years and in 2020 adopted a senior Maltese who is the joy of my life now. 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 he doesn't feel lonely and is fed and taken good care of. Why leave your friend alone when you are going away? Let him have some fun too and let him spend time with me! :) Feel free to contact me with any questions :)

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

Barbara was great! She sent pictures of my dog and took great care of her. I will definitely be booking her again!

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!

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.

Information Barbara W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or does not get along well with other dogs. I do have a small breed senior dog that does not mind other dogs around but I need to make sure both parties are comfortable.

A typical day

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