I have 15 years of paid pet sitting experience. I have cared for cats, small and medium-sized dogs, rabbits, parrots and chickens. I have had cats in my life from childhood through adulthood. I am available to pet-sit (up to one hour per visit), or provide over-night care (12 hr. period). I provide daily texts/emails with updates/pictures.

Barbara has been my pet sitter (dog and cat)  and house cleaner for many years. She is fair, honest and kind and conscientious. She will care for you furry babies like they're her own.   You will never go wrong with Barbara.. Her prices are fair, considering the kind of extra work that she puts in. I highly recommend her!

Barbara is very dependable and shows great care towards our cats. The cats love when she comes over! We love getting the daily updates from her as well while we are away. She also checks on our houseplants on top of the cats. 
She is also easy to get In Contact with and always responds in a timely manner. We definitely recommend Barbara for your pet care/Sitting needs! We have had her watch our cats a number of times already and we will continue to.

Barbara has watched our two cats repeatedly and done a wonderful job!  The cats look forward to her visits and we love her picture filled text updates.  We will continue to use her.

Barbara is amazing.  Although I was hesitant to hire someone I did not know to watch my cats, after a few minutes of talking to Barbara, I was completely at ease and comfortable with her coming into my home and caring for my cats.  

Barbara watched my cats while I was on vacation.  She came in every day and gave them food, water, and scooped the litter.  She went the extra mile and played with them every day with their favorite toys.  She sent a text to me every day with updates and included pictures of my cats.  

I was so impressed with Barbara and how she cared for my cats that I have now hired her on a regular basis to clean my house.  She has just come for the second time and has done a fantastic job each time!  I cannot say enough good things about Barbara!  I can recommend her wholeheartedly and without reservation.  

Barbara was great.  This was the first time I used a pet sitter, Barbara was wonderful, she was very dependable and notified me daily when she was at my home.  She even sent me photos of my cats.  I have six inside cats and 2 outside cats, Barbara called them by their names, she played with them, and was very caring.  I plan to hire Barbara every time we go out of town.  I will also refer her to my friends.  Thank you Barbara for the great job and making me feel very comfortable with your pet care.

Barbara has been great.  I needed a pet sitter in a pinch and contacted her.  She's been very friendly and accommodating even when my irritable 15 year old cat talks back.  They're working on their relationship and I really appreciate Barbara's patience and care. I often have last minute short trips and Barbara has been able to help out.  It's really comforting to know my furry friend will be taken care of on short notice.

Barbara was great, she gave me regular updates about my cats, I trust her implicitly and would use her again.  She ever sent me a picture of my cat while I was away.

Barbara is a consummate and skilled professional. She is organized, she truly cares about your pet. Ms. F even text to notifies you when she is about to start the job and when the work is done. I would not hesitate to recommend highly on Barbara's kind hearted nature and professionalism. I am definitely hire Ms. Barbara again!

Sincerely,

Barbara looked after my cats while I was on vacation.  She was very organized and caring and kept me up to date after each visit. I felt very comfortable with her caring for my pets.  

Barbara is a sweetheart! She took pictures of my cat and sent them to me everyday that I was gone. I also got to talk over the phone to him. She is extremely dependable and loves to care for animals. I loved the way she took careful notes about his care and feeding when she came for an interview 2 days before I left town. I will definitely hire her again when need be.


Barbara showed up for an interview/walk through and was early and then started working the next week and did a over the top job.

Barbara came to my house to take care of my 4cats while I was out of town. She  came to my house to take notes on their food and care and wrote everything down, even called me about their food ..She called or texted me with a daily update! I didn't worry about my feral Wild cats while I was gone because I knew she was trustworthy! She even fed and came to a relatives home to take care of their Iguana for the same time!Hire Barbara for your fur baby!

Barbara looked after our two cats while we were out of the country on vacation. She went above and beyond in her efforts - not only feeding, changing litter and playing with them, but sending us daily updates with pictures. It was striking to see how our cats' attitudes changed - they're not great with strangers and hid under the bed for the first week, but with Barbara's perseverance, they were happily playing with her by the end of our trip. 

We were also impressed with the through notes Barbara took during our initial meeting, the way in which she followed up on any questions, the prompt way in which she responded to emails or voice mails, and her organization in terms of contact information, reference list and invoice. 

Barbara did a fantastic job. We look forward to continuing using her services in times ahead - we're very happy to recommend her to other folks in the area.


Barbara has been a pleasure to work with from day one.  Always on time, works really hard, professional, reminds me about our appointments, and most of all, she is trustworthy.  Thank you Barbara!
