Barbara looked after Traci Caves’s home
I have known Barbara for over ten years as a classroom teacher and a friend. She is a very intelligent, responsible, and conscientious person. She has had a variety of pets who lived long and joyful lives because of her thoughtful care and attention. She continuously managed the care of our home for over two months. She was able to successfully handle several challenges that arose with our home heating system during the dead of winter. I would whole-heartedly recommend Barbara as a house / pet sitter for any situation.
