Information Barb R. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know if the dog has any fears, any quirks, any special toys? Their daily routine. What treats they like, any allergies and their potty schedule. I also want to have their dog license with them so we don't get fined by Airdrie bylaw.

A typical day

Wherever the owner wants me to take them. In their neighbor hood or off leash parks. We will play with their toys and play any other games the owner suggests the dog likes.

Pet care experience

I owned a bulldog or perhaps I should say he owned me! So, I am experienced with stubborn (lazy) dogs - as I owned a very very lazy one. I rescued him several years ago and he had some special needs. He required a lot of patience and love and I happily gave him both. I considered coaxing him into a walk my daily challenge! But sometimes we just liked to sit at a dog park and watch the world go by. No better place on earth than a dog park to do that. While my pooch hated walks he loved to play tug of war. So if your dog loves walks, loves to play, or just wants to hang out and cuddle, I’m available. I love all sizes and shapes and activity levels of dogs (more than I like most people to be totally honest). I am currently available anytime 7 days a week. My preference is to look after your pets in my home as I work from home so relocating my work space requires a bit of work - but I could possibly accommodate. While Rover is set up for dogs, I am also very willing to look after cats. Feeding, checking in on or playing with - just ask and I will try to accommodate. Please note that I live in Airdrie.

Molly loved her time with Barb. Barb took great care of Molly. She thoroughly enjoyed her visits to the dog park. Barb was great at communicating with us with photos and updates. She genuinely cared for Molly and we felt comfortable with her, we will certainly use Barb in the future for dog sitting. Thank you so much Barb!!

Barb is such an amazing human being and dog sitter. She was so kind and caring towards Abby, and we loved how she would constantly give us updates on our little angel. Right away, Abby was so comfortable with her and made herself right at home. Barb is someone who I fully recommend and trust 100%. Thank you so much again Barb!

Barb was Fantastic from start to finish. Our Benji is a high energy breed and can sometimes get into trouble. Barb was extremely patient with Benji and was taken care of 100%. Barb provided walks and trips to the dog park to get Benjis energy out. When I picked up Benji he was happy and not shy and timmid like he is when we pick him up at the dog kennel. I would 100% recommend Barb for all your Rover needs!!
