Personalized care for your dog or cat - Barbreck

“Kimmy & Michael were very welcoming and clear about everything. This was especially important to us because we had never boarded a dog before. Their set up is home-based and limited in numbers of dogs they accommodate at any one time. They have routines that make the dogs feel safe and comfortable. And they communicate daily about happenings and how the dogs are doing. We are boarding again soon and I have the feeling that our pup will be excited to go back to Kimmy and Michael's.”

“I am very reluctant to leave my dogs for travel, but Mary made it very easy. Our boxer, Ruger, loved Mary from the meet and greet and enjoyed his stay with her. She gave special attention to all I asked which included giving medication and special feeding instructions. Mary was always quick to respond and gave daily updates with pictures. I would use Mary again to keep my pets!”

About: I have 12+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I currently share my home with my two rescues: Princess, a calm and loving 10-year-old lab mix, and Ross, a playful almost 3-year-old dachshund mix. My late German Shepherd, Thor, was with me for 7 wonderful years and passed in October of 2024 at 10 years old. Since 2021, I’ve been active in dog rescue and fostering, caring for countless pups including senior dogs, puppies, and even Amish puppy mill rescues who needed patience, rehab, and lots of love. Watching them blossom into happy, adoptable dogs has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. My dogs are truly my world, and I’ll treat yours like family too. I have a fenced-in yard for safe playtime and a cozy home where they’ll be loved. You can always count on me to keep you updated with photos and messages, so you know your furry friend is happy and cared for. Right now, I’m available throughout the week since I don’t begin my full-time job until the end of October. Once I start, I’ll still be available for boarding and drop-in visits—your pet will just need to be comfortable with me being away during normal work hours. In my home, your dog will have a safe and loving environment with plenty of playtime in my fenced-in yard. I can crate your pup if that’s what you prefer, or keep them free to relax with my own two dogs—whatever makes them most comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines and preferences closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or snuggles. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for just like they do with you.

“Blake is the B E S T! She treats my pets as if they were her own. She sends detailed updates, pictures, and goes above and beyond what is asked of her! Highly recommend her!”

“Danielle took such good care of my George! She sent pictures every day, and it made my travel much easier knowing my George was getting loved on at home.”

About: I would humbly refrain from making the statement that I am better than my counterparts, as that is not for me to judge. I will say that I am an incredibly caring and empathetic individual, and that translates well to how I operate animals as well as people. I grew up with dogs and cats inside of my home, and I was always very attentive to them in terms of playing, petting, feeding, and making them feel cared for. My experience as a sitter only spans about a year altogether, but as a mother of human children, I understand the responsibility that comes with monitoring and caring for any member of someone else’s family. Animals are never excluded in that💙 I have two children, one of which is in daycare and the other in grade school. During the summer months, my availability would be from 7AM to 5PM, as I’d have to pick my youngest up from daycare by 5:30PM. From August to May, my availability would be 7:30AM - 5PM, as this would grant me time to drop my oldest off to school before beginning a day’s work. At the moment, I can only offer care in the home of clients, as my landlord does not allow pets to be present on the premises. Having said this, I am flexible in the number of services I am willing to offer in the home of clients. I want each individual to feel confident in the care their pet is receiving while they are away. I will do what I can to ensure this is the case 💙

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 9. I have experience in everything from walking to whelping. I love animals and would love to meet and care for yours! I am currently training to be a dog groomer on weekday mornings. I’m available for drop ins and walks after 1pm. On weekends I’m not out of town I would love to hang out with your babies as well! I have transportation to get to your babies to check in, feed and water, or walk them. I bring water on walks to help them with the crazy summer temperatures and weather and am able to easily read their body language to make sure they are healthy and happy.

About: I can take care of any type of cat. I have been doing it for 33 years now. I genuinely enjoy taking care of all animals.

About: For as long as I can remember , i’ve always had a pup/doggy growing up! There’s never a day that I was not around a dog! I’ve had a Golden Retriever , Pugs , Pit Bulls , Poodle , & others. What sets me apart from other sitters is that i’m very aware at all times & I make sure I tend to what they’re wanting no matter what it is . I’m a very communicative woman . I know they do understand what i'm saying . I do have experience in training !! I am available anytime , any day of the week ! I do not have anything that separates me from being able to care for your pup ! I take them out to potty every other hour or so , even if they don't have to use the restroom , it’ll be good for them to talk a walk . stretch their legs . get some fresh air . they will be fed according to their parents needs/wants! I can & will bathe them if needed !!

“Kimmy and Michael were awesome and sent multiple pictures even though my dog was only with them during the day. I had movers at my house who stayed later than expected but Kimmy and Michael were super flexible with the pick up time which was a lifesaver. They have a large yard and my dog came home exhausted!”

“Blake is great and really cares about our pup. 10/10 recommend!”

About: I've loved animals my whole life. I've raised puppies and cared for senior dogs and everything in-between. I enjoy volunteering as a pet transporter for animal rescues. I own my own cleaning business. So pet sitting fits into my schedule perfectly. Some homes I clean and pet sit for as well. I love what I do. I have 5 senior cats so I prefer to care for pets in their own homes. I'm always working in different towns so this works best for me. I am trustworthy and have references.

About: I’m very driven and compassionate for animals. I am an event coordinator for the Ragin Rescue cat organization on ULL’s campus. I love all furry friends and hope to befriend lots in my lifetime I’m a full time ULL student, and work a part time job. I’m finished with classes every week day by 2, and work tuesday, & thursday through saturday from 3-8. Sundays i work from 9/11-2PM. I feed and change the litter for my own cats. I often walk my own dogs, and ensure they are not anxious and feel comfortable before myself.

About: I have been around animals my entire life. Pets are like family and should be treated accordingly. I grew up with two adorable Winnie dogs named Brownie and Tootie, as well as two precious cats named Mr. Beans and Rosie. I treated them all as my babies and cherished them dearly. When it comes to caring for your pet, I promise to give it the same love and affection. I will provide plenty of treats, and of course plenty of hugs and kisses. Your pet is welcome on my furniture, and they'll always receive a warm welcome. I accept same day and last min bookings! I have plenty of time for your pets with an open schedule. My schedule is open all hours for your needs. I also have my phone on me at all times. I have a crate if needed and lots of toys and treats to provide as well as attention and love. You’re in good hands with me!

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take pride in providing patient, loving, and reliable care. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, refreshing water, and following specific care instructions such as schedules or basic medications if needed. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get regular walks or playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m attentive and present, and I enjoy building pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I have a fenced in backyard where we can run around and play together. I can give medications, give baths, do any special accommodations, etc.
