About: I have been in veterinary medicine for 8 years. I am confident in my ability to handle and work with many different breeds, sizes and temperaments. I’m free on the weekends and I have plenty of time to take care of your pets needs before and after work. I have time to not only let out and feed your fur baby but spend time with them.

“Me and my Roxy girl absolutely love Barbara! I had just recently adopted my senior dog as a rescue and was unsure on how she was going to interact with people and this new place. Barbara has been so patient with Roxy as she adjusts to her new environment, and quickly scored her love! She’s helped so much with Roxy’s boundaries and really worked with her on her anxieties! We are repeat weekly customers of Barbara’s and I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone. She always includes photos and a little blurb about how their walks went so I can keep up with Roxy’s progress. Very prompt responses and has never been late ❤️”


About: I’ve had pets my entire life and caring for animals comes naturally to me. With over 10 years of hands-on experience, I’ve helped raise puppies, supported senior dogs, and provided daily care for pets of all kinds. Whether it’s feeding, walking, training, or just giving them the love they need, I treat every animal like they’re my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to look after their pets, and it brings me so much joy to keep them happy, safe, and healthy! I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for drop-ins, boarding, and cuddles on weekends and after 2PM on weekdays. Whether your fur baby needs mid-day playtime or dinner served with a side of affection, I’ve got it covered! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play, a friendly and well-behaved dog who enjoys having company. If your pet prefers their own space, I’m happy to separate or crate as needed. I provide a calm, clean, and loving home where every animal is treated like family — whether they’re here for a quick visit or an extended stay.

About: Hi! I’m home for the summer and excited to spend time doing something I love, caring for animals. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and I recently lost my own, which reminded me just how much animals mean to me. While I don’t have time for a full-time pet right now, I still stay involved by volunteering every week at a local animal shelter and helping care for the cat I live with at school. I also worked as a vet assistant for a year, so I’m experienced with pets of all ages and temperaments. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or anything in between, I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I gave my own. I’m currently taking an online summer course with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the summer for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits.

In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, so they stay comfortable and happy while you’re away. I make sure they get plenty of attention and care!

About: I have been raised around animals my whole life and cannot recall one year where I did not have a pet. Everything from dogs and cat to hermit crabs I have loved and housed. I have taken care of multiple family pets at once. I adore hours long walks, so taking a dog along for the journey is always a pleasure. I am currently a full time college student and do most of my work at night so I am mostly free to watch the little fur babies. If you are wondering about sitting, just send me a message and I will happily set it up. In my home I currently have one dog and two cats. The three all require medication which I administer. I walk my dog on a regular, light schedule since she is getting along in age and cannot walk too far anymore. I also groom all three animals. Everything from bathing to clipping their claws. I have taken care of other people pets quite a bit and have found that I fall in love quickly with any animal that I am put in front of. I am excited to take meet and take care of your fur baby.

About: I've been working with and studying animal behavior since I was 10 years old, and my passion for dogs has only grown stronger over the years.

If your pup needs regular brushing or combing, I’m happy to handle that too—keeping them clean, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way.

Sean C.
“When Sean was a young boy, he made flyers advertising pet sitting in the neighborhood. We decided to give him a try and have never regretted it. Many years later, and he is still watching our dogs. He is reliable, communicates well and loves dogs. A great combination! (High honor student and outstanding track star are 2 more examples of how hard working Sean is!!)”
