Providing Cuddles & Care

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Michelle and I started Barce Barks in 2010. Anyone who knows me, knows that I am crazy about animals. I can't even watch a movie in which an animal gets lost or hurt, even though I know it's a fiction movie. For all my animal lovers, I know you can relate. I started this business because of my own fears of having to leave my baby in the hands of someone I didn't know. I wanted to build a personal relationship with all of my animal friends and their parents. So that when they leave home, they can rest assured that their babies are being loved and well taken care of. With each each visit or stay you will be sent pictures and a text with an update on how your baby is doing. I am also always available by phone for a conversation. I know the anxiety that comes along with finding a person to take care of your best friends while you are away. As a pet owner and an animal lover, I've been there! The only thing I can't promise is that I won't spoil them while you are away!

Chloe enjoyed her stay. We loved receiving updates - seeing how much fun she was having. Thank you for taking such good care of her.

I will highly recommend Michelle. She is a very professional and considerate person. She took care of Theo for 6 nights and we know he had an awesome stay. I was sent daily status updates thus easing my mind of any apprehensions on how Theo was faring in a new place. She was very kind and was extremely generous in packing toy Theo was playing with at her house. I know Theo was super happy receiving a Valentine’s Day gift from her. I have never seen him so happy and calm after an extended care with someone. I believe Michelle also took the time to brush him and detangled all his mats and knots, becaue when he came back he was all soft and fluffy. That was very kind and sweet of her. Tight hugs and kisses to her from Theo for allowing a great stay

Michelle is awesome! She watched my pup Otis for 4 days and he had a blast. She sent me pictures and updates daily, gave him his required meds, and took excellent care of him. Otis was so relaxed and happy when I picked him up that I could tell he loved being with Michelle and her family. I highly recommend her!
