Cat Sitting Barlow

“Vann is dependable and loves animals! He has been making drop in visits for Miku during my international travel the past few years. Highly recommend!”

Brian T.

“Kate was wonderful!! She was very communicative, super kind, and Millie loved her drop in visit! Kate was also super accommodating moving the check in time as our plans changed sort of last minute and we are so thankful for knowing our pup was in great hands!!”

About: I’m a mature lady with a can do attitude. We have had dogs and cats (and a variety of other critters) in our home through the decades. Nothing better than bringing your dog along for that countryside hike/trail walk. At one with nature. I do have the attitude that I’m the boss on the walk and our dogs are part of the pack. I like it best when our dogs have opportunity to be off leash. Not that will happen with your dog unless we find a dedicated off leash park and permission from you. I offer dog walking and pet visits in your home and boarding at my home BOARDING. I require to use a crate at times I’m gone as I live with my disabled adult daughter and care staff. I don’t mind the weather unless it is exceptionally hot or cold for your pet. I’ve got all weather gear! I am available most weekdays from 8am-ish (depending on travel time). I can do some weekend walks depending on length of notice. (my other job is a carer to a person with disabilities) I have a fenced in yard). Crating is an option should any fur baby feel the need to 'get away'. (Our own dog passed over the rainbow bridge in May) I require a meet and greet with new clients prior to accepting a new client. I just want to make sure we’re a good fit all around. This is best done 48-72 hours prior to any booking. A boarding client gets at least two walks a day as well as plenty of yard time if they desire. We have a good sized fenced yard. If I’m gone, your dog will be crated for a short while in a comfy spot. I consider crates as a sanctuary/ a place of safety for your fur baby. I am returning to Rover after some medical issues that needed my full attention. I am now easing back into care services. I am available for the odd walk. I am NOT available for regular daily/weekly scheduled walks. Dog care is part of my regular activities which include yoga, tai chi, volunteer work and care for my adult daughter. Pets in my care enjoy plenty of outdoor time and typically two walks in the daylight hours. They may accompany me on my own appointments when they are pet friendly. I prefer only one pet at a time, but will consider two from same family.

“.Jeanette made it possible for me to get away for a badly needed vacation. She cared for my 2 cats and was very communicative, sending photos and updates and tried hard to play with my older, lazy cats. All of us were much less anxious when we got home knowing they were being fed and cared for and were not being abandoned.”

“Allison was great! This was the second time she had taken care of my cats and she was very communicative and great with my fur babies. Would use her again!”

About: I have had pets in my family ever since I can remember. We have had all types of pets from fish and lizards to cats and dogs and lots of others in between. However, there has almost always been a dog in the house. I have experience training dogs and puppies and use lots of positive reinforcement. I have three dogs of my own. More than one person has called me "The Dog Whisperer"! I try to stay active but often need the motivation. What better way to get some exercise and fresh air than providing the same for man's best friend? I have a flexible schedule and am looking forward to making more four-legged friends. I live in a home on 4+ acres so there is plenty of space for your pup to explore and investigate. There are a number of parks in the nearby area where I like to go and am always looking for new dog-friendly places. There are 8 dogs who live here, three of which are my own (most of the dogs are large breeds). Three of the dogs typically keep to themselves and the other three are fun, energetic besties who love to play. All household members are dog lovers and dog owners.

“Diana was amazing! She took such great care of our dogs while we were gone. She was reliable and communicated to us how the dogs were at every visit. We got so many cute pictures and could tell they were in good hands. Would definitely recommend her!!”

Kim R.

“Annali was great! She took the time to get to know our 4 cats and their quirks during the meet-and-greet and did a great job taking care of them!”

Braden Z.

“Trula has been a blessing for Percy and I! I work long shifts so having Trula available to dropin on Percy for his bathroom breaks and some scratches/loves has been amazing and we are so grateful! I appreciate the pictures and videos Trula sends during her visits and the report cards after are very helpful and informative. Trula is great at communicating what Percy needs or what she needs to better care for him. Long story short, if you're looking for someone to care for your pet and she's available, pick Trula!!!”

“Katie did a great job looking after my older dog. She was right on time, obviously caring and followed all the instructions left for her, even sending photos of her visits. I highly recommend and would definitely hire Katie again.”

Karen S.

“I have asked for Erich’s help watching my cat Yoko several times now, he is fantastic! Really great communication and is willing to help on short notice. Most importantly he takes great care of Yoko. Truly one of the best rover sitters I’ve ever used.”

Ali M.

“I would rebook with Kat. She took good care of our 3 kitties while we were away. She followed our overly complicated feeding instructions and sent pictures of them eating and a few of them hanging out. One of the weekend days she definitely fed them all breakfast closer to lunchtime, but I still felt like they were in good hands, and in her defense I had expressed some flexibility in their feeding time. She also went out of her way to set our cat camera back up after the cats knocked it over so we could continue spying on one of their favorite hangout spots. Cats were happy and healthy when I got back.”

Laura N.

“Annie was very communicative and provided check-ins about how Maki was doing and her food/water/litter. I'm glad my cat had her around while I was away!”

Ashley W.

“Margaret is fantastic with my puppy! Always right on time for the check-in and sends the CUTEST photos with a detailed update. It really put my mind at ease knowing my pup was in good hands while I’m at work. Highly professional and clearly a dog lover—I’ll definitely be booking them again!!”

I make sure to watch the dogs often and give them attention they need.
