Information Barbara B. would like to know about your pet

All health and behavioral concerns are important to me so that I can be sure to accomidate your needs.

A typical day

I am committed to honoring the wishes of the parent as well as the needs of the pet. I have a lovely area for long walks if that's the goal. If small areas with shade and limited exercise is what makes for a happy healthy puppy, that's what will be planned. My home s cool and comfy with access to snuggly places as well as a clear area for play. If puppy's have canine partners, all are welcome. I don't take dogs in from various families at the same time. Your dogs will be my focus.

PROF. EQUESTRIAN/trainer-instructor

Pet care experience

With over 30 years of experience providing first class attention to a variety of four legged friends, I have dedicated myself to ensuring care with the highest standard of love and respect. In addition to adopting several greyhounds and a variety of small and large breed dogs, I've enjoyed my years shared with elderly or injured pets of all energy levels. Although I no longer live on acres of land, I now have the opportunity to share my experience and time to help you provide the best for your pet during those challenging times when you are not able to be home with them. You and your pet decide how much play, walk, rest, and lap time I can provide during our visits either in your home or mine. I can't wait!

Barbara was amazing with my special needs, high maintenance pup. She took the best care of her and our bird while we were away, defined not an easy job. I got updates and pics on how she’s doing. Thank you so much!!!!

Barbara did a wonderful job with our two dachshunds, Teddy and Benny. She sent multiple pictures and videos. In addition, she asked thoughtful, clarifying questions and cared for our pups very well! She was super respectful of the house. We would 100% book her again in the future.

Barbara was awesome. She is a joy to work with. She clearly loves animals. She’s kind and caring. She sent me pics during her time with our puppy. It was a great first experience with Rover but more importantly with Barbara. We will definitely use her again!

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.
