Pet care experience

Doggone Delighted

Hey dawg! I’m Barry aka Poetree. I have personal experience with pets since the age of 10. I have experience house sitting, boarding, walking, and day care. As I understand each pet differs between owners, I ask about specific treatment to cater to yours’ needs. Please contact me for further availability. I treat each pet with the respect they deserve. I am open to details about yours so that I may treat and care for them accordingly. Walks and love given throughout the day, each day!

I was in the area for the holidays and had nowhere to keep Ellis. Barry was great with Ellis and gave me prompt updates on him. Great communication and would recommend boarding with Barry. Ellis came home happy and calm!

I was in a jam when I had to foster my mom's dog and my work schedule suddenly changed. Barry to the rescue! Barry met my dogs and walked them EVERYDAY without fail. He was totally communicative and prompt. I would definitely rebook.

Barry replied quickly to my request for a daily walker. As a new client, he made me feel comfortable asking questions about how the rover process works. He has been totally reliable even when he had to get past a snake hiding at the entrance of my house! Have continued to rebook and will do so in the future.
