Barb took great care of my 3 cats - from feeding them, to giving them some one on one play time. Have already booked her again. Very highly recommended!

I've used Barbara at Animal Lovers for years to walk my two dogs. She is beyond wonderful. My dogs love her. She is extremely dependable and timely. I highly recommend Animal Lovers!

Barb is the best! She took care of my fur babies for years. Very caring, thorough and super reliable! We think of her as part of our family. Sometimes I think my pups are more happy to see her than me. If your looking for a dog walker or pet sitter don't hesitate to call her. You won't be disappointed. She is a true professional and animal lover, who will treat your pets as her own!
