Loving Care For Your Pets

Pet care experience

I’m Barbara and I love animals! I am so excited to be on Rover because it allows me to spend time with dogs, help pet owners in need, and work from home. I have over thirty years of pet sitting experience from the care of Teacup Poodles to Great Danes, to rambunctious puppies and senior dogs. Additionally, as a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of a safe and healthy environment for a pup and I will always provide your pet with the same love and care I give my own animals. With years of pet sitting, owning dogs, and fostering animals, I would be overjoyed to welcome your furry friend into my home. In addition to years of experience, I am also trained in dog CPR and first aid and am a member of Petsit USA. And because I work from home, I can be there to care for dogs that need a little extra attention. From those with separation anxiety to those who need extra potty breaks, to dogs with medical issues - I’m happy to use my skills to care for them. I have both oral and injected medication administration experience and have cared for senior and special needs dogs. I live in the beautiful Vinehill neighborhood, which is quiet and very dog-friendly. With many trails and walkways, your pup will be in doggy paradise! My home has a large fenced-in yard where your pup will have lots of room to run, play, and sunbathe. Though I will be the primary pet sitter to your pups, my son will be around occasionally to play games and give snuggles! He’s worked with me in my pet care business for the past thirty years and loves animals as.I have two cats and! If your pup isn’t cat-friendly, I’m happy to separate them so that all animals will have a safe and happy stay. When I’m not pet sitting, I love to spend my time gardening, doing things at home. I am home most of the time wile your Pet is being boarded.

Our dogs were very well taken care of! Barbara and her son also went above and beyond to help with a car issue we had. Thank you!

Information Barbara B. would like to know about your pet

Before a stay, I would love to know if you’d like to set up a meet and greet and two cats, knowing your pup’s behavior around other animals will be helpful. Additionally, are there any medical issues or behavioral tendencies I should know about? The more information about your pup’s routine, likes and dislikes, and behavior, the better I can provide care!

A typical day

My home has a large fenced-in yard where your pup will have lots of room to run, play, and sunbathe. When we’re done staying active, your pup and I will snuggle up happily! As I am home full-time, your pup will be able to have all the exercise and cuddles they need! If you are Boarding a cat it gets lots of pets and clean changes of the cage plus Food and Water and Play.
