Pet care experience

Not just pets, they're family

I grew up with cats and dogs and have experience safely walking, playing with, feeding, and caring for cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. I have taken care of care of family, friends, and neighbor pets for over 25years. I have a german shepherd and shiloh shepherd dog so i get high-energy breeds. Having and hanging out with animals is my happy place :) I will treat your babies as if they were my own!

Barbara is amazing, she has great communication and always sends plenty of pictures and updates with every visit. My cat is usually very timid and takes a few days to warm up to people, but this is our second booking with Barbara and he came out to say hi like she was an old friend! Will definitely book with her again!

Barbara did a fantastic job. Our pup was well taken care of and Barbara did an amazing job of sending updates while we were away. We came home to a happy and calm dog. Would highly recommend.

Barbara was amazing with our fur babies!! She was very attentive and kept in constant contact with pictures throughout the duration of our trip. Our home was also kept tidy and was well cared for while we were away. We will definitely be booking her again and would highly recommend to anyone who wants to have peace of mind while on vacation.

Our pet sitter was fantastic! Barbara did a meet & greet with us beforehand and she was very understanding & patient with all my questions & concerns. She was very punctual and took amazing care of my dog, giving him lots of attention & his favorite treats. I was a bit worried about leaving my pet with someone new, but she completely put my mind at ease. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable & caring pet sitter.

The house and the pets were very well cared for. She sent lots of pictures and lots of reassurance that they were doing fine while we were away. We'll definitely hire again.
