Dogs, cats, exotic birds-experience

Pet care experience

I have had pets all my life. I am experienced in caring for dogs, cats and exotic birds. I enjoy all types of animals and I especially like giving pet owners piece of mind that I am experienced, mature and trust worthy.

Barb was amazing! She was patient with me as a first time Rover user, and took the time to meet our cats before our weekend away. Our kitties were very well taken care of and the updates she provided gave us piece of mind while we were on vacation. Thank you, Barb!

Barb is a wonderful Pet Sitter. She took care of our two cats during our long vacation and sent daily updates with pictures and details on what was going on. She truly seems to care about the animals she watches and I greatly appreciated the regular insights. I highly recommend her.

Barb was awesome! She took great care of Haley and kept me well informed. She really tried to get to know our sweet but skittish kitty. I’ll definitely use again, highly recommend!
