About: Does your doggo need a stay-at-home auntie in its life? Get ready for lots of photos and updates because your babies will get 24-7 attention at Casa de Barbara. ** I am a work-from-home writer/editor, and my husband is a scientist working in biotech. Aside from our very friendly poodle mutt (pictured in profile), the last member of our household is our daughter. She is great with dogs, having grown up learning how to nicely pet our pup. ** Some of the dogs that I have watched over the years have been coming to me longer than I’ve known my husband. We look forward to adding yours to the pack! ** Outside, your pet will get minimum 3 walks and/or off-leash time at a dog park. Inside, we will nap together in between rounds of fetch. ** My family is what you might consider perfect for your dog’s stay: pretty boring! 🤣 We don’t go out much, and if we do, we don’t stay out late. ***
“Another great series of visits! Teagan’s photos alone are worth the cost; she has a budding career as a nature photographer if this gig gets old. We can’t thank you enough, Teagan! We are so grateful for you!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine one-on-one attention I give each pet, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I have been around dogs for most of my life and have been caring for them for about six years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog's unique personality. Whether a dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace and lots of cuddles, I enjoy making them feel comfortable and cared for. I especially enjoy spending time with senior dogs and understand the extra patience and attention they sometimes need. I am currently a college student, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and spending quality time with your pets throughout the week and most weekends. Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine because it is something I truly enjoy doing. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I do not take that responsibility lightly. I always follow your instructions carefully and do my best to keep your pet's routine consistent. Whether I am caring for them in your home or taking them on a walk, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every pet the same way I would want someone to treat my own.
About: What sets me apart is the combination of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, along with the level of care and attention I genuinely put into every dog I look after. I’ve worked closely with a young puppy, attending training sessions and learning how to reinforce positive behaviors and create an environment where a dog can thrive. I’m comfortable continuing training routines, maintaining structure, and helping puppies build good habits. On the other end of the spectrum, I also have experience caring for senior dogs who require extra patience and support—whether that’s assisting with mobility, following specific diets, or adapting to hearing and vision loss. I regularly dog sit for friends with very different needs, from high-energy dogs who need multiple long walks a day to older dogs who require a slower pace and more hands-on care. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once, making sure each one gets the individual attention they need. I pride myself on being adaptable and attentive, tailoring my care to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Beyond experience, what truly sets me apart is how deeply I care. I treat every dog like family, not just a job. I’ve even gone out of my way on multiple occasions to help neighbors find their lost dogs and have successfully helped reunite them with their owners several times. I believe it’s our responsibility to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where dogs feel relaxed, happy, and encouraged—and that’s exactly the kind of care I provide every time. I work full-time with a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to plan ahead one or two weeks in advance for working on site or at home. On days I go into the office, I can take pups on walks in the early morning or evening. I’m fully available for boarding on weekends, and depending on my work schedule, I can also offer overnight boarding during the week. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each dog’s routine—whether that means early morning walks, regular potty breaks, or sticking closely to their usual schedule. If your pup is used to a 7am walk, I’m more than happy to start the day early to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment that helps every dog feel at ease, whether they’re in my home or their own. In my home, I have a private, fenced backyard that’s only accessible through my apartment, so your dog can safely enjoy fresh air. It’s partially covered as well, providing some protection from rain. Inside, I keep my space clean and dog-friendly, with cushioned area rugs to prevent slipping and give dogs a comfortable place to walk, play, or relax. I also provide cozy blankets and an outdoor dog bed so they have options for resting wherever they feel most comfortable. Cleanliness and routine are very important to me—I wash food bowls after each use and refresh water bowls daily. Dogs are welcome on my furniture, but I always respect and follow your home rules to maintain consistency. If your dog isn’t allowed on furniture, I will reinforce those same boundaries. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and attentive to instructions. I carefully follow all provided routines, house rules, and notes to ensure your dog experiences as much consistency and comfort as possible while you’re away.
“Angelica was so sweet with our boy! She made sure he got some outside time and lots of great cuddles. She also made sure to follow all instructions and administered medicine for our senior dog. Macho loved his visit from Angelica!”

About: Ive spent my entire young life with animals of all shapes and sizes from horses to birds to many different breeds of dogs and cats. I walked many neighborhood dogs all four years of middle school, worked at Bow Wow Meow for some time in highschool, and Smilin Dogs just a few years back. A few of the things i took care of while there; bathing and nail trims, caring for 20+ dogs at a time with light training, feeding on a schedule and putting dogs down for naps or bedtime. I have two puppies and a three year old dog at home, aside from that i have all the time in the world to care for your furry family members! I can help with basic training for dogs young and old, i believe no dog is past the point of learning a new trick or two. I can also follow any kind of schedule you set as far as feeding, walking, and naps/bedtime.

I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and happy while you're away, so I provide attentive care, regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I’m responsible, patient, and committed to making pets feel comfortable in my care. I’m happy to send photo updates so you can feel at ease while you're away.

About: We’ve fostered around 20 pups and volunteered at a senior center with our pup, bringing comfort and joy to others. These experiences shaped our calm, patient, and loving approach to every dog we care for, with 15+ repeat clients. We both work remotely from home, which means your dog will have constant supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. Dogs in care are never left alone for long periods and settle into a relaxed, home style, cozy routine. We focus on providing a calm, peaceful environment. Dogs are treated like family, enjoying neighborhood walks, playtime, naps, and quiet time. Only accepting calm, well mannered dogs who are comfortable sharing space and not prone to resource guarding, which helps maintain a safe and stress free home. The home is set up for comfort and calm, providing extra dog beds in multiple areas, cozy resting spots, and a variety of toys and enrichment items to keep dogs comfortable and engaged. Dogs are free to relax, play, nap, and move around at their own pace. Because we work remotely, pet care fits seamlessly into our daily routine and, with always being home, allows for frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Plenty of grassy areas and walking paths near our residence, making outdoor time easy and enjoyable. The schedule is structured but flexible, adjusting to each dog’s energy level and normal routine. Available on weekdays and weekends, can accommodate extended stays, and aim to support last minute bookings when possible. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. Our home is clean, calm, and well supervised, and the dogs are never left unattended. We follow each pet’s routine closely and introduce dogs thoughtfully to maintain a peaceful environment. We take dogs out for frequent potty breaks and daily walks, always with safety in mind. Crate if requested, but most dogs relax freely indoors with cozy spaces to rest. To help you feel confident and connected, we provide daily photo and video updates, and we're always happy to send additional photos, videos, or text updates on demand. You’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. We also recommend a meet & greet prior to boarding to ensure we’re a great fit and that your dog feels comfortable in our home.

About: I've been caring for dogs with love and intention since I was 14 — and now my husband and I get to do it alongside Kaia, my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel pup 🐶 She's warm, emotionally attuned, and genuinely excited to make a new friend — but she'll also give your pup all the space they need if they'd rather just cozy up solo. We have a fenced front yard, backyard, and cozy indoor space, so your fur baby will feel right at home. My husband and I work from home during the day, so there will always be someone available and taking care of the pets throughout the day. I have a fenced front and backyard, and a sweet, playful Cavalier King Charles Spaniel pup to keep them company. I can crate your dog and provide a safe space if they need it, and I will feed them at the designated time. We will only watch up to 2 pets (including our own) at a time, so you can be sure your pup will be given lots of care and attention.

About: I have been fortunate enough to grow up around dogs. Because of this, I feel that I’ve built up 10 years of experience. But I have been offering professional pet care for 6 years, to friends and family. I’m happy to accommodate to any specialized care instructions! I do have a day job, so I would do check ins throughout the day, mainly in the afternoon. I do offer overnight stays but the same check in system will apply due to my schedule. I provide attentive visits that include feeding, fresh water, walks or cleaning, and plenty of playtime or snuggles depending on your pets personality. I’ll give them gentle care, attention, and companionship so they feel calm and loved.
“I was super anxious about leaving my kitties alone for the first time, especially as one just got an ear infection and needed medication, but Zolfar was amazing! Super responsive, really looked out for their wellbeing, and even administered the medicine exactly as needed. Came back home to two perfectly healthy kittens :)”

“We had a last minute need and Juliana was so accommodating. Both our dog and our cat loved her immediately. She was on time, was great at communicating with photos, and took perfect care of both of them. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you, Juliana!”

Kim is so good with my cats! My boys are super friendly and playful, and Kim is always good about playing with them and helping get their zoomies out. My cat, Pebble, takes medication and Kim is a real trooper! Pebble can be difficult when it comes time for her meds, but Kim is always very patient and gentle. I highly recommend her!

Lauren came highly recommended by our regular pet sitter when she wasn’t available, and that recommendation stands true. Lauren is a great communicator, took great care of Chicken Nugget, and embraced his quirky personality. She also went above and beyond to keep our house clean and tidy. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her services in the future!

Bethlyn was very communicative and accommodating! She was mindful of both mine and Sasha’s preferences, and provided detailed updates with lots of pictures everyday, that was really appreciated! Will definitely rebook, it was an entirely stress free trip for me knowing Sasha was taken care of. :)

Julissa is wonderful! She took good care of my cat’s needs while we were away. Our cat is shy that he always hid away when strangers were in the house. But surprisingly he came to greet Julissa when she visited and even stayed close to her the entire time! That was the FIRST TIME we’ve ever seen! So she must have some magic that could make our cat very comfortable. Will rebook in the future!

Last year, we had another kitten, and when we traveled, we asked Kyle to take care of him. Unfortunately, we later lost him, and after that we got two new kittens. Thankfully, Kyle has been helping us take care of them as well. As always, she was amazing. She stayed longer when needed, and she even helped bring our package upstairs when I asked her. She is incredibly kind, very easy to communicate with, and always responds quickly. We are so happy to have someone we can truly trust, so we can travel comfortably knowing our kittens are safe and well cared for with her.

Angelica is AWESOME!!! She took care of my newly adopted cat twice during a day when I was away all day. It was so great to get the photos and text each visit. My cat Sadie loved playing with her!! Sadie ate and drank water while Angelica was at my house, showing me how comfortable she was with her. Angelica had a huge heart and I feel blessed she took care my sweet Sadie!💛 P.s. Angelica is a 10 star pet sitter and human being !!!
Julie Mae is such a comfort and diligent sitter. She truly goes above and beyond with your fur baby. She understands how much they mean to you and has a keen sense of what pet your needs as well. Dexter loves her company so very much. Her communication is excellent with thorough updates and pics. You know your buddy is in caring hands. Thank you for always making Dexter and I feel taken care of, Julie Mae.

Thien-Nha is absolutely wonderful and I’m so lucky to have found her. She’s reliable, responsive, and incredibly kind. Even my super shy kitty came out of hiding to say hello when Thien-Nha came over. I feel she really goes above and beyond for our pets and that is simply invaluable. Will definitely hire her again for our next trip.
