About Barbara

Responsible, caring, affectionate woman will care for your pets as if they were her own. Black labs, spaniels, Old English sheep dogs, Bouviers, cocker spaniels, Yorkies, schnauzers, and mixed breeds, too, both large and small, are all breeds I have sat for. I specialize in caring for dogs, but also have experience cat sitting, too, and take care of Lucy and Elsie when their owners vacation. I do occasional day care for pets, but specialize in overnight or week end care. I provide dog walks, feeding and play time, and lots of loving attention. I give dogs meds and have given shots to a German short hair dog with diabetes. ) Excellent references available. I am a retired English teacher, and now score tests at home part time for Pearson in Iowa City, Iowa. My interests are many and varied including, reading, book clubs, walking, cross country skiing when available, hiking, art galleries, museums, movies, trying new restaurants, and more.
