Best grandma for your pet family!

Pet care experience

I have rescued puppies, senior animals, special needs animals for the last 20 years. My family and friends have entrusted their pets with me while they are out of town. I walk them, spend time with them, play with them, and feed. When they miss their pet parents the first day or two I always spend extra time, bring approved treats and toys. I have rarely had an animal not respond to me.

Barbara gave us peace of mind while we were away for 1 week that our pup was fed, watered, and walked. We received photos capturing the care he was receiving which helped us enjoy our long-awaited family vacation.

Barbara has been on time every day and so prompt with her responses! My goldendoodle loves her already. She really takes the time to make sure that my dog gets the most out of her walks plus some playtime with her toys. I didn’t want to bother Barbara with sending pictures every day but she does it anyway and it’s so lovely! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, fun, and trustworthy sitter :)

For my first time using Rover, Barbara was an excellent choice! She responded within 10-15 minutes of me initially reaching out, was happy to come over and meet me and my pup within a couple hours of first contact, and immediately made a great impression. My dog is generally anxious/uneasy around new people, but quickly opened up to her as if they were old friends. Barbara was very timely with check-ins, showing up early to give my dog some extra time outside of the normal appointment length, and provided detailed Rover Cards that helped give me peace of mind while I was at work for extended periods of time. I am setting up recurring check-ins and look forward to future visits!

Barbara was truly incredible with my puppy Gigi. She was so loving with her and truly treated her as if she was her own puppy.
