Your pet deserves to be happy and comfortable with as little stress as possible while you are away. Keeping your pet on its routine is necessary for its well-being. You know your buddy is going to miss you! And you are going to miss it. Keeping your pet in its own home will alleviate much of the unnecessary trauma of moving to an unknown facility. I will give your pet my full attention, love and care. We can play, talk, go for walks, watch tv, read books, cuddle on the chair. Whatever will help your pet from missing you a little less. If you decide to be my houseguest, I will provide a clean, quiet, comfy environment. Your pet will not be with other animals. Private accommodations will be only for you. I do not take in any other pets than yours. I and my home will be exclusive for all their needs.

Thirty years of personal pet care experience. Trustworthy, dependable, responsible and caring. Please visit my website for more information at www.homepeaceofmind.com. Be sure to visit the “About Me” tab and “Reviews” on the upper left corner.

What my clients say:

"Barbara watched our dog, Izzie, (small breed) while we were gone for a week in July. This was the first time we left her with someone other than family and it was a bit worrisome… until we found Barbara. She came to meet us and our dog, and spent plenty of time with us so that we could get to know her and our dog could get comfortable with her. She was very thorough in all of her paperwork and in asking questions so that Izzie could have a comfortable routine as close as it could be to her 'normal' routine. While we were gone, she sent notes and pictures every day so that we knew Izzie was happy and having fun! I felt totally comfortable leaving her with Barbara and I didn't worry a bit! Barbara is very kind and caring and so wonderful with our precious pet! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to watch your special pet family member! Sincerely, "

"Barbara stayed at our home and watched our 2 dogs while we went on a family trip. It was the first time we had left the dogs with anyone outside of the family. As soon as we met Barb we knew we had found someone special. She is a lovely person - so warm and easygoing, but also very conscientious. She clearly takes the care of your home and pets very seriously. She was prepared with detailed requests for information about the dogs and the house so that she could be ready for any situation. She made sure that she had all of the dogs' medical information as well as a local emergency contact in the event there was an issue. She anticipates anything that could possibly come up so that you don't have to! Not only did she take loving care of the dogs, but she took care of my flowers in the yard and anything else that was needed around the house. She sent updates and pictures of the dogs everyday so my mind was at ease and I could enjoy my time with my family without worrying. She is a real find and I can't recommend her highly enough!

"TRUE PEACE OF MIND
Barbara took care of our two large, noisy, somewhat intimidating dogs, one turtle, and the house for 2.5 weeks while we were away. It was truly a blessing to know everything was handled at home! The key to success started long before our trip away. Our dogs do not respond well to new people. Barbara came out months ahead of time to meet them. She was comfortable following the routine needed to ensure a successful first meeting, and it was clear immediately that our dogs liked her, she liked them, and everybody would do just fine!
Well before we left, Barbara took the time to make sure she understood the details of our routine (of which there were many!) and maintained regular communication while we were away. She easily handled last minute curve balls, like the carryover of different medical issues with both dogs that started in the month prior to us leaving. For us to be able to leave the dogs in their own home, with Barbara’s companionship, for about the same cost as it would be to send them to a kennel, was amazing! The transitions for us when leaving and returning from our trip were so smooth! In our dog’s world, it was as if we had never left. Barbara is truly a gem!
