Barbara was a wonderful sitter! The dogs were happy, she left the house tidy, and she communicated well. Would have her sit again without reservations!

Barbara really was the best! Took the dogs on lots of walks and snuggled the cats. She checked in with me regularly and always asked if she wasn’t sure. She

Barbara took care of my boxer puppy, Lance, when he was young and going through training. She was patient, loving, and consistent with him so that he learned quickly what was expected of him. He enjoyed spending time with her each day as I went to work, and was excited when we arrived each morning. Barbara followed his routine which made training him a breeze. I would whole heartedly recommend Barbara for any type of pet sitting and/or house sitting. She is of impeccable character, and one of the most trust-worthy people I have meet in my life. Your pets will benefit from having her stay with them in your absence. It's the next best thing to having you there!

Why I want to house sit

Since retiring, I am free to travel. Because I practice and study yoga and meditation daily, I think I would be an ideal and responsible house sitter. I am very calm and quiet but do enjoy long energetic walks. Most importantly, I love
