About Barbara
Experience: 10 yrs
I have taken care of furry friends for over 40 years. I have raised, bred, and shown Irish Setters. I have shown our family Himalayan in Household Pet Shows. I love the mixed breeds feline and canine and all have been members of the family. I have worked throughout many years for veterinarians and have a background as well in large animal; horses and cows. I love to play and walk with dogs, likewise with cats, and have groomed as well. I would love to be a companion and help keep company for your best friend. I have done obedience with my Setters and achieved great success in working dogs. I have done formal showing of my own dogs and have won awards, Best of Breed, and have bred champions. I just love the company of all dogs and cats. I am my happiest taking care of them.
Most recent review
Barbara was wonderful and my pets loved her! She stayed at our house for a week while we were away on vacation. She sent us updates every day, kept the house clean/tidy, and treated our pets like they were her own. Barbara has a warm and friendly personality so you will instantly feel comfortable with her watching your loved ones! We will definitely be using Barbara again and would highly recommend her!
