Safety, trust & environment

I provide care for your pets off the directions and specifications provided. All pets are completely unique and have different needs and levels of care. I enjoy providing extra attention and play to dogs who have anxiety. This can get overlooked when families are busy in their routines, or the dog is a rescue, and this is so important for pet wellness.

Information Barbara B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I will can account for. My preference are dogs that can get along with other dogs and have basic command training.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dog physically and mentally. We’ll play some games, check out all the new smells in my neighborhood, and explore a big park near my house.

Barbara took excellent care of our older pup. She updated us throughout the day with pictures and was excellent with communication.

This was our second time using Barbara and once again, she took such great care of our girl. She sent tons of pictures and updates and made us feel confident that our dog was well cared for. Our dog had lots of fun playing with other dogs under Barbara’s care. Highly recommend!

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.
