Safety, trust & environment

I have a large sfh with a large fenced yard and a deck. I like to always supervise and interact with the dogs while they’re outside. There’s plenty of couches and rest areas to hang out as well. I keep foods, chemicals and toxic plants out of reach. Also have a carpet cleaning machine and it is used on a regular basis.

Information Barbara D. would like to know about your pet

My dog is a 4 yo lab mix. He’s pretty high energy but also very affectionate. We foster dogs regularly and he has gotten along with all of them.

A typical day

We tend to go on walks at least once a day depending on weather. We also go out and enjoy the sun out in the deck at least once a day as well. I spend a good amount of time playing with my dog in the backyard since he’s high energy, also have a little kiddie pool (change water daily) so he can jump around and get refreshed. If it’s raining or weather is too extreme then we play in the basement. We occasionally go to the river close to my house where there’s nice trails.

This was our second time using Barbara. Will definitely use her again. She clearly loves animals and her regular updates were great! I was worried our boy might not want to come home. 🙂

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.
