Information Barbara B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know what your dog's daily routine is with you. How much exercise is your dog used to getting each day? Does your dog like to be around people? Is there anything that scares or upsets your dog? What would make your dog feel comfortable with me? Is there anything your dog particularly likes? Is your dog allowed to eat people food? Are there any situations where your dog might be aggressive?

A typical day

We would go for walks, play in the backyard. Your dog would have company throughout the day. Your dog would be very well taken care of.

Pet care experience

I have always loved dogs. While living in Mexico I volunteered at an animal shelter and I fostered many dogs and cats until they found their forever homes. We adopted two of these Mexican street dogs and they travelled to live with me and my family in Portugal and Scotland before we all moved back to Canada. In Portugal I also volunteered at a dog shelter spending Sunday's caring for stray dogs.

We had a wonderful experience! Barbara was so friendly, warm, and welcoming. She even met with us in advance of our booking, which gave us so much peace of mind considering this was our first time using Rover. During the 5 days our dog Franklin was with her, Barb communicated often and sent updates, which we really appreciated. Most importantly, our dog seemed to have a great time! Would definitely recommend and book again.

We had such a wonderful experience with Barbara. It was our first time using her and she made us feel so comfortable from the start. She was responsive and caring and she was amazing with Echo. She sent us the perfect amount of updates, and we could tell Echo was so happy and loved while we were away. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Barbara to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pup like family!

Barbara was AMAZING! Misha was well taken care of, she provided lots of walks, updates to us and followed all instructions. She is very kind and great with dogs. We will definitely be reaching out to her next time we need a sitter.

Barbara took excellent care of Kailey while I was away. I got just the right amount of updates to know she was well taken care of and enjoy my vacation. Glad we have a dog sitter now who isn’t my parents

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.
