If your animal has special needs or specific problems please let me know. I am not afraid of any situation nor mind any challenges. Your animal is your family member and will be taken care of accordingly.

Run, walk, play! What ever the animal is up to or likes. Even if it’s just for companionship. I love animals and enjoy being in their company.

Barb was a great sitter in for our two cats! She provided updates and even got our mail/packages! We would definitely book with her again.

Barb was great! Even when our very ornery cat was scaring her by disappearing into places he doesn’t normally go, she approached him with patience and kindness.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
