Pet care experience

I've always had dogs in my life and caring for them has become second nature to me. I'll look after your pets as if they were my own. I worked as professional dog groomer for eight years and also have experience as an off- leash pack walker, giving me a strong understanding of canine behavior, social dynamics, and safety. I'm certified in Dog Safe First Aid and hold an Animal Care Aide Certificate. I'm deeply interested in animal behavior and well-being, and I love connecting with each dog's unique personality. Whether it's a calm stroll or an energetic walk, I tailor every outing to your pet's needs to make sure they have a great time.

We have had Barb look after our fur babies for years, mostly grooming, but we can easily attest to her patience and understanding of dogs! Would recommend her in a heartbeat!

We have been working with Barb for over 8 years. She was our groomer for our two dogs and they loved to go to her. They would get so excited and run up the driveway, tails wagging to see her when we arrived. She is extremely good with all the dogs. The grooming was never stressful for our girls. Barb has a natural way with animals .They love her and she loves them. We have nothing but kind words about Barb for the person she is and how she treated our pets. She is truly a lovely person...one of a kind

My little guy Ranger can be timid and shy. Barb was so patient with him. She uses the skills she has attained through past ventures in pack walking, grooming and training to support your pet in feeling safe and comfortable. I can confidently say that your pet will connect easily with Barb and look forward to spending time with her. They will likely experience great adventures and learn new skills. Don’t hesitate to book Barb to care for your pet, you will be glad you did.
