Client's comments

"Barbara has watched over our Tobey and Max for 10 years.  We would not schedule a vacation without confirming her availability.  They both loved Barbara and we felt totally at ease leaving home knowing they were being lovingly cared for by someone who did much more than fill the food dishes and empty the litter box.  She will be truly missed by our whole family."  (Donna & Walt - Mahwah,NJ)

"My husband and I never worried about our 3 cats when Barbara was caring for them.  That's why we were so sad to hear that she was moving to Colorado.  When we would return from being away, our cats always seemed so content, never anxious, the litter boxes & the house were always spotless & Barbara would leave a daily diary of our cats' antics, who would meet her at the door, follow her around, etc., which we always enjoyed reading when we returned. Miss her and would highly recommend Barbara to anyone looking for an excellent pet sitter!"  (Pat - Suffern,NY)

"Barbara sat our two cats during our two most recent summer vacations, including one during which we were gone for three weeks.  Barbara played with Rapsy and Lucy daily, sent us pictures regularly, kept the litter box fresh and clean, and even brought a new water bowl when the old one sprung a leak.  The cats loved Barbara-we could see that by their reactions to her when she visited us after we returned.  Our only regret is that Barbara is now 2,000 miles away." (Jean & Phil - Mahwah,NJ)

"Barbara Braun had taken care of my four cats for several years when I was away.  It was wonderful to have someone like her to do this.  Barbara was always kind, dependable and trustworthy.  My cats responded so well to her which was evident in their behavior when I returned.  Two of my cats are extremely reserved with people but became very comfortable with Barbara.  She kept me informed in writing about their behavior each day and appraised me of any concerns.

​

I had two family emergencies in which I had to go out of town immediately and unexpectedly.  Barbara was able to help me in these situations with my cats which eased my mind and made very difficult times easier.

​

In addition, Barbara left my house in pristine condition.  She took in my mail and watered my plants as well.

​

My neighbors always commented how reliable Barbara was.  Please note that they had complained about previous catsitters.  They also have made many positive statements about the petsitter that Barbara recommended for me.

​

I cannot say enough positive words about Barbara.  I miss having her help with my cats and know you will have the same wonderful experience I had if you utilize her services."  (Carol - Mahwah,NJ)

"I highly recommend Barbara Braun as a cat sitter.  She took great care of our cat while we were on vacation and also attended to watering plants and getting mail.  She treated our cat as her own and spent time playing with her and brushing her.  She also did an outstanding job of keeping in touch with us through text messages, emails, and notes left for our return.  She is fabulous!"  (Carol - Mahwah, NJ)

"We met Barbara shortly after moving to Bergen County and we engaged her to watch our cat, Maggie.  In dealing with Barbara, we found her to be totally reliable and committed to our needs.  After we returned, Maggie was happy and healthy!  We even had daily reports on Maggie.  Barbara is a total pleasure to work with!"  (Adrianne - Mahwah, NJ)

"Barbara took care of our beloved cat Bella for six years whenever we were gone.  She is very reliable and thorough.  You will have great peace of mind!"  (Matt-Suffern, NY)

"If complete peace of mind is desired when you are planning a trip away from your home, then Barbara's Pets is your solution.  Barbara takes end to end care of your pets when it comes to feeding them & visiting on a scheduled basis. Her written daily pet activity summaries fill you in on your pet's time while you're away.  Her fees are reasonable & she is one of the most professional, friendly & reliable people you'll ever meet." (Mark & Terri-Mahwah, NJ)

"Having never had a pet sitter before, I was nervous to leave my cat Mike. I could not be happier with Barbara's pet sitting. Our cat was well looked after and we could tell Mike was in great hands. Barbara left a note for each day we were gone describing Mike's day. The house was spotless when we returned and Mike was extremely happy. Before leaving, Barbara came over and took detailed notes about what we would like, what Mike likes, and what to expect. Barbara's care of our cat was fantastic and we will use her every time we leave town. Would highly recommend her." (Amanda-Boulder, CO)

"I'm so happy to write this review for Barbara. She did an amazing job taking care of my Agnes who had just lost her sister not long before we left on our trip. We were worried that she would feel lonely so we hired Barbara to come and take care of her. Barbara went above and beyond by playing with her for an extended period of time and even leaving a detailed note with what Aggie ate and played with. She brushed her and just loved her up! I would never hesitate to use Barbara again and encourage others to do so as well. You won't find a better pet sitter anywhere! "(Kelli-Louisville, CO)

"Barbara is excellent with cats (and everything else, we're sure!)  We would love to keep using her services but alas she is moving-lucky for all of you in her new service area!  Barbara will not only care for your pet, but also your plants.  She brings in the mail and newspapers, and will even change the lights around to give your place a "lived in" look.  She noticed that our cat wasn't playing much with her toys, so she bought a new one for us at no extra charge!  And Barbara took the time to notice a safety issue for our cat and resolved it for us.  We have come home to a cleaner place than we left.  We can't speak highly enough of her services and recommend her without hesitation!"  (Kelsey-Boulder, CO)

"Barbara pet-sat our 3 cats, 1 dog and bunny. She was extremely thorough in noting what the animals needed and how we wanted things done, and most importantly - I could tell she really loves animals and likes taking care of them. She did a great job, was always on time, and spent time petting and brushing our cats and giving them attention. She left detailed notes each day that were really nice and reassuring to read once we were back. She swept around the cat boxes, brought in mail and watered our plants without us really asking her to do that. We would definitely use Barbara again and highly recommend her to anyone!"  (Jane-Boulder, CO)

​

"My three cats were improved by Barbara's care - seriously. They are mellower with each other and friendlier with me. Barbara kept me informed visit by visit (email) about my cat's behavior and her interaction with my pets. I couldn't be more pleased."  (Loren-Louisville, CO)

​

"I cannot be happier with Barbara. She is truly a cat lover. She was very thoughtful and even gave me great ideas to help keep my cat healthy and happy. I'm very lucky to have found her because my cat is 16 years old and I really needed someone who really understood older pets. Looking forward to using her again." (Sally-Erie, CO)

"I've hired Barbara to check on my cats several times now. I trust her in my home and know my cats are well looked after when I'm away. And she makes the cutest video updates of her visits." (JM-Broomfield, CO)

"Barbara watches our dog and cat while we are traveling.  We have hired her 4 times.  She is prompt, professional, thorough, and compassionate.  She delivers messages as she checks on the animals, which relieve our anxiety.  We highly recommend Barbara as a professional pet sitter!"  (Kelly-Broomfield, CO)
