Loving, fun, caring dog sitting!!!

Pet care experience

I have had 5 rescue dogs and taken care of 35 foster dogs. As of Jan 2023, I've provided care for more than 80 dogs via Rover. I’ve loved each and every one! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed being a dog sitter via Rover for so so many kinds of dogs!!! I provide a safe and loving environment.

Winston and Barbara bonded really well from the moment they met. Barbara took really good care of my dog. I would definitely have Barbara dog sit Winston again.

Barbara was so great with our golden retriever Leila! She sent regular updates and photos and made sure Leila felt at home and part of her pack. We absolutely will contact Barbara again when we go on trips that Leila can’t come on.

Simba had a comfortable stay and I am starting to feel that he is missing Barbara. He was stuck to her the whole time. Thank you so much Barbara for taking care of my boy.

Barbara was great! I felt totally comfortable leaving my pups with her, and they seemed happy. She sent lots of pics while we were away which made me feel at ease. I will definitely use Barbara again.
