Pet care experience

25 years experience caring for pets

I have owned dogs for most of my life. Charlie, the cat, joined the family 3 years ago. I once owned a tempermental Amazon parrot named Peanut! I can’t imagine life without a pet. I will pamper your pet(s) and give them the attention they deserve. I enjoy taking dogs for walks and giving dogs & cats plenty of attention to let them know they are loved. I also have experience in training of young pups. I would like to meet your pet(s) first just to make sure they approve. Also to find out about their personality and find out what makes them happy. I'll check on your pet(s) when you're away to ensure their needs are met. Let me know what you and your pet(s) require, and I’ll do my best to provide. I have cared for pets of all ages. I have also administered medication to pets that depend on it to function well in life. I don't charge for more than 3 dogs or 3 cats, so we can adjust the cost at our first meet & greet. I schedule pet visits throughout the day. I try to accommodate all my client's requested times. If I am unable to visit at a certain time, I will let my client know to find out what will work for them. I'm not able to care for pets at my home because I have 2 dogs, and one of them is not a social butterfly! However, I will give your pets my full attention while in your home. I am available to care for your pet(s) anytime between the hours of 6a-9p any day of the week. I will do my best to visit your pet at the requested time(s). I'm very flexible! I do drop-in visits, walk dogs and whatever you require to care for your pet(s) at your home. I'll also bring in your mail/packages, and even water your plants!

It was our first time using Rover or any pet sitting service and Barbara was very patient and helpful during our trial (and even some errors on our end). We forgot to fill our pet feeders before we left on our trip, which Barbara took care of for us. We cannot thank her enough and appreciate her kindness and love towards our girls. The daily pictures were such a sweet bonus too.

I’ve taken care of all breeds of dogs, large & small. Would like a meet & greet to get to know your pet(s). Hopefully your pet will like me, too!
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.
