Barb is wonderful! She has come to my house several times to take care of my 3 ferrets and 2 rats and has done a wonderful job. I have left her some very detailed requests and she has followed through with them perfectly. I had never left my pets with a stranger before and was very nervous. I text Barb when I'm away to ask how they are and she is always quick to give updates so I don't have to worry. It's always very clear when I get home that the pets have been well cared for.

Question and answer
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. I feel that I am a natural at pet sitting. I truly enjoy taking care of each and every one of my "clients." In addition, I have a background working with rescue animals and I specialize in all types of birds.
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. I love being around different pets. When I interact with each of them, I feel very satisfied. I also like the variety that comes with pet sitting. I have taken care of dogs, cats, parrots, small birds, ferrets, guinea pigs, rats, ducks, and rabbits. I just love them all!
Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A. Customers usually ask me about my availability. I am a full time pet sitter so my schedule is very open. This makes it very easy to drop off and pick up pets when they board with me. It also makes it easy for me to take on a last minute pet sitting job.

This was the first time that I was leaving Sasha (my dog) with someone who was not a family member. However, I knew how much of an animal lover Barb was from when we worked together. She sent me periodic text messages and pics from, and/or I texted whenever I missed, Sasha. In addition, Sasha had fun playing with Barb's dogs as she is an only pet at home. I came home to a very happy Sasha. I highly recommend Barb and am planning on Sasha staying with her on my next vacation.

When we got our dog, Crockett we knew we would have to leave him sometimes, but we didn't want to put him in a kennel. We found Barb and couldn't be happier. She is flexible and loves him so much! I get texts and pictures from her so I never have to worry about how he's doing.

I was very pleased with the service that was provided for my 2yr old springer spaniel Molly. It was the best care, I feel that Molly had ever had at Kennel. I will be taking my pet back to Barb.

With two (going on three) birds and seven cats, boarding our pets outside of the home isn't a practical option. Barb has cared for our pets on two occasions now and we've been very happy with the care they've received. We have a few special needs pets and Barb has been willing to learn about the little bit of extra care they need to stay healthy and has asked questions when they arise to be sure they're being given the proper care.
Everyone is always happy and healthy when we return, and the few extra household tasks (mail being brought in, garbage cans being taken back to the house, plants being watered, etc.) have been taken care of perfectly. We've booked her for a future trip already and would recommend her to anyone looking for at home pet care.– Melissa

Barb was caring and provided loving care to my two "senior" dogs. I was very satisfied with the prompt response to my request for service.
Barb cared for my dogs while I was on vacation and when I returned, they were happy and well cared for. I judged their happines by the wagging of their tails and the fact that they had a difficulty time leaving Barb when I got home. Both my dogs didn't want to leave her side.
Thanks again for a job well done, I will definetly use you again

My two cats warmed right up to Pet Sitter With Love as soon as they met her. She sent me text updates and pictures of them while I was away to let me know they were doing well. I know that I can trust her to give my cats the same love and attention I would give them when I'm away from home. She is my very first call whenever I need a pet sitter.
