Availability

I am primarily working from home and can keep your dog company. On days when I do have to go to the office, your dog will be alone (with our dogs) for only 4-6 hours. I know a tired dog is a good dog, so some exercise and playtime are built into our mornings and afternoons.

Information Barbra F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has special needs - medications, anxiety, food protectiveness, etc. With many foster dogs over the years, we have dealt with a number of issues but it's incredibly helpful to know about them in advance.

A typical day

I love my morning walk but definitely love it more with a dog! If your dog doesn't go for long, no problem. If they need exercise we can do several miles. Our fenced in back yard is great for fetch and running around off leash.

Barbra is a wonderful pet sitter. She's always kind and understanding, always happy to accommodate our schedule and takes excellent care of Charlie! He needs a bit of reassurance and she makes him feel loved and safe when we're away!

Barbara was absolutely amazing caring for our puppy, Maddie! From the start, she was warm and clearly has a genuine love for animals. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Maddie was in such caring and capable hands. Barbara went above and beyond—she kept Maddie happy, well cared for, sent daily updates (w/pics) and gave her plenty of attention and affection. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust completely with our pup, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Barbara to anyone looking for a dependable, kind, and loving pet sitter. She’s truly the best!

We had an excellent experience! She was absolutely awesome and took great care of Jireh. She kept us updated with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Jireh looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We truly appreciate the love and attention she gave him. Highly recommend! 🐾
