favoriteWhy I love house sitting

House sitting provides the opportunity to meet new people, make new friends, provide support and peace of mind to families who have to leave part of their heart when they travel all while seeing new places in this beautiful country.

I’ve been an animal owner and caregiver since birth. The pictures I’ve shared are just a handful of my family past and present. I am a business owner and have worked in healthcare for 30+ years. I am blessed to be able to travel and work from anywhere. I’m a mom and grandma. I would be honored to have the opportunity to care for your loved ones too and provide you peace of mind while away. I currently live in Texas. Hoping to spend the summer traveling to new places and meeting new friends 🐾

Review

I am so thankful I found Barb! She was an incredible pet/house/plant sitter. She came into our lives and it felt like we knew her immediately. She was at our home for 6 weeks while I was out of the country, and she maintained communication often-including sharing photos and updates on both my pets and the home. It made my trip a lot easier on my heart. Her dog Winnie seemed to get along with both my pets as well and was pretty easy going. Barb is like family now and is welcome back any time!
