Hi! I'm Barbara a recently retired RN from Sacramento , California. I am so excited to finally be free to explore this country and others. I am a homeowner and keep my own house and yard clean and tidy. I must admit I prefer working in the garden to housework but do both. I recently lost my elderly dog whom I miss terribly but I am now free to be away from home for extended periods of time. I would love to care for your home as if it were my own and if you have pets I will enjoy and care for them to your best expectations. I raised 2 daughters and numerous pets as a single parent so I can handle most situations that arise while you are gone. As a nurse I'm pretty calm in emergency situation if, heaven forbid, any should arise. Please consider me to be there for your most precious possessions while you are away.
Why I want to house sit
I have been really looking forward to being able to travel and when I learned about house and pet sitting it seemed like the perfect way to fill the void of my empty pet nest and travel too. I really want to get to know new people and new cultures. Taking care of lonely animals will be a pleasure and help me get over the loss of my own dog. My daughter's have 6 cats between them so I love kitties too!
My experience
I have owned my own pets all my life . My pet sitting so far has been for family and friends while they are vacationing. I have cared for dogs requiring medications and as an RN I'm familiar with most medical disorders and how to care for them. I have recently lost my own 17 year old dog and really miss those walks together and cuddle time.

I have known Barbara as a coworker, friend and traveling companion for over 15 years. She is a loving and responsible pet owner. She is organized, dependable, an excellent problem solver, meticulous and has great integrity. I recommend her highly.
