Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and an elderly golden. I also have an elderly cat that seems to be tolerating other dogs in her old age.

Information Barb M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your pets complete needs, their likes and dislikes. I also would like to know how they deal with strangers and other sensitive issues like how they are with other animals.

A typical day

My dog’s favorite game is tug a war and belly rubs. My cat enjoys getting brushed and sitting on your lap. I like interacting with pets and their toys. If walking a dog, I prefer a harness so that they don’t slip out of the collar. Any tips to making your pet comfortable is key.

Pet care experience

I am a mom to humans and many pets. Many friends rely on me to dog and cat sit, and now can ask my daughters as well. I have trained them well!

Barb was incredible from the moment she came to meet our cats! She was very friendly to our boy who was very curious about her! She kept us updated every day with pictures and how both our cats were doing! She was very consistent and communicative, and her notes left us smiling. We missed our kitties but couldn't have trusted them in better hands!

Barb is one of the sweetest people that I have met on Rover. She goes an extra mile to take care of your babies. My cat Shiva, who is very shy, easily warmed up to her because of her affectionate nature. I would strongly recommend her to anyone needing Rover services.

I’m so thankful for the care and attention Barb gave my two elderly cats, while we were away. She followed their routine, cleaned up after them, and took care of the inevitable hairball incidents. She also took the time to give them attention and brush them, which I know they loved because they easily warmed up to her. Barb sent twice daily reports and pictures and I could see my kitties were very comfortable and happy being at home and having their needs met by a caring sitter. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Barb take care of my kitties again and highly recommend her as a pet sitter.

Barb is not only a huge animal lover, but she's also dependable, has an eye for details and makes sure things are done as I've requested. I never have to worry when I know that Barb's taking care of our dog!!
