Information Barbie V. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has allergies or any kind of health issue that needs care please let me know. Is your pet friendly around kids, people and other pets? Has your dog ever bitten anyone. I like to know if there was an emergency which Veterinary hospital do you use and contact information to provide?

A typical day

We can play fetch, ball, or tug of War with toys. I love to train, snuggle and love your pet. With today's events, separation anxiety has increased tremendously, I can provide time spent to care for your loved ones.

Pet care experience

I have the experience and love you're looking for when you can't be there to tend to your pet. I have graduated Veterinary Technology since 2009 and have been raised working with animals my whole life. I am available Full Time to get to your pets when you can't. I'd love to offer to come to your home. Home care is the best care. I have several years experience administratering medications, inhalers and insulin. I have worked in various veterinary fields including emergency and rehabilitation to name a few. I have found animals help me while I help them is the most rewarding feeling when there are no words involved. Just trust, love and treats of course. I'd love to play with your pet and bathe them too if needed as well.

Barbie was incredible with my cat family -- she went way above and beyond in feeding them and medicating them. I definitely hope to ask her again to care for my kitties.

Once again, I am a happy client of Barbie! She took care of my finicky cat and I can't thank her enough! Highly reliable, understands your animal companion's needs very well, I recommend highly- book early to ensure you can get time!!

Barbie was great! She took good care of our kitties and spent the time needed for them to warm up to her, playing and giving affection. She also went above and beyond helping with house related things while we were away. She even dealt with an owl that got in our house through the chimney and had the composure and knowledge to get it out safely protecting both the kitties and the house. I appreciated her communication throughout the process and trip. I know she already has plenty of positive endorsement, but I would recommend her to anyone in the area who needs someone to watch their fur babies.

Barbie was fabulous! She offered to meet me and the kitties prior to her official start, she was prompt and communicative, she spent extra time with my cats on her first visit, and she cleaned their food bowls after their use. Something I really appreciate was that she asked me to let her know when I got back from my trip. You know someone truly cares about animals if they don’t consider their job done until they know the pets are back in safe hands. It’s so nice to know that if something happened to me that someone would be thinking of my cats and would have made sure that they were safe.
