I watch your pet(s) in your home

Pet care experience

COVID-19 UPDATE: I have been deemed an essential worker, and as such, I do not wish to risk getting Covid while pet sitting. Therefore, I have suspended my pet sitting service until after the virus is gone. KEEP YOUR PETS AT HOME WHILE YOU ARE AWAY! I will watch your pets in your home, lovingly caring for up to four pets per household geographically from north to Renton to as far south as Federal Way. I am a former puppy raiser for Guide Dogs for the Blind and certified dog trainer with over 30 years experience with pets. I specialize in puppies, older pets and under-socialized pets. I will be happy to walk your dog(s), care for plants, take out the trash, etc. I am self-employed and work from my laptop, so I can be with your pets most of the day. If it's important to you to keep your pets at home and you want to make sure that your home is secure while you are away, I may be a really good fit for you. (Cat and other pet sitting can be added to the dog sitting service: $5 per pet per day.) ASK ABOUT OUR AIRPORT DROP OFF AND PICK UP SERVICE. Basic obedience training is available while you're away for those dogs who qualify. I am certified through the National K9 School of Dog Trainers.

I've been following Barb's profile for over a year as I've been tempted you use Rover a number of times. I've had friends and a pet hotel take care of my pets. However, I've been reluctant to trust someone that I don't know. We added a kitten to our household and I was nervous to use the Pethotel and separate the kitten from the dogs. I also could not get a commitment from my friends 6 weeks in advance. Barb was professional and respectful. My house was immaculate and most importantly, my pets were happy when we returned. Barb informed us when she arrived to the house and sent pictures of the pets while we were away. I will definitely use Barb again in the near future and highly recommend her as someone you can trust with your furbabies and home.

Barb was awesome! She went above and beyond in taking care of our fur babies and our home while we were gone. She was very communicative and I never worried about whether or not our pets were being taken care of. Our pets can be a little shy when it comes to new people, but they both warmed up to her very quickly. Would absolutely recommend Barb to anyone in need of a pet sitter.

Barb did an excellent job watching our pups and home while we were gone for a long weekend. We received updates and pictures every day as requested, and came home to happy pups and a clean house. We would definitely book her again!
