Puppy happiness guarantee

Pet care experience

I love animals, but I have lived in apartments where I can't have pets for years now. To stay close to pets, I started dog sitting for my friends, so much that my friends now call me the godmother of their dogs. Sitting for Rover is for me a way of spending more time having fun with doggos, as I can't have any in my apartment. As a PhD student, my schedule is very flexible, and I can take care of your pet even during unconventional hours. Also as a PhD student I spend hours sitting in a chair isolated from the world studying, so I can imagine how pets feel when they spend the whole day alone at home. It will be my pleasure to visit your dog or take him/her out in a walk, making sure your puppy is happy and have all needs met is my favorite job as a sitter.

Barbara was great! She is a very nice, intelligent & responsible sitter. She stayed with our two small dogs for several nights in a row & we couldn’t be happier! She sent updates, pics and texted if she had questions. We felt very connected and informed. We will definitely use her again!

Barbara is awesome! She is great with our dog, always on time and provides us with important follow-up and feedback. We will use her whenever she is available.

Barbara was very prompt to respond when we requested house sitting for our two rescues on a weekend my fiancé and I were out of town. She is friendly and professional, provided photo updates, and at a very reasonable price. Good first experience using Rover - I would definitely book with her again!

Barbara stayed overnight with our adult bernese mountain dog and puppy english bulldog, both of which can be a handful, and was amazing! She gave updates and asked for any clarifications to make sure the pups would be as comfortable as possible/stay with their routine while we were away. We would without hesitation recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring petsitter!!
