Your Dog’s New Favorite Sitter!
I am a dog-loving person who said goodbye to my beloved puggle after 15 wonderful years together. After caring for friends' dogs, I realized how much I missed having furry companions around the house and decided to open my home to Rover guests! I provide a calm, loving environment and are best suited for small to medium-sized, family-friendly dogs of all ages. Whether your pup is playful or prefers a cozy nap on the couch, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. My home has a large, unfenced yard, so all outdoor time is supervised and on a leash. I also live on a quiet dead-end street with very little traffic, making it a great place for safe walks and fresh air. Because I primarily work from home, your dog will have plenty of companionship and won't be left alone for long periods. I treat every Rover guest like they're part of the family and look forward to giving your pup a happy, stress-free stay!

Ratings and reviews
Ziggy stayed with Barb for 10 days over the 2023 winter holidays. Ziggy is a 1 1/2 year old dog, she was welcomed and incorporated into the house and family life. She had a great time and I received photos and updates and knew that she was having a great vacation of her own. I would highly recommend Barb to care for your furry family members!
Barbara was fabulous with our dog Spunky! She is trustworthy and kind. Additionally, she is very active and enjoys taking long walks with our dog.

Schedule
I work remote with a flexible schedule, so dogs are rarely left alone. If I do need to step out briefly, I'll follow your dog's normal routine—whether that's being crated, staying in a gated area, or another arrangement you're comfortable with.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home sits on a large lot at the end of a peaceful dead-end street with very little traffic. Although the yard is unfenced, I've always used leashes for potty breaks and walks with my own dog in the past, so supervised outdoor time is simply part of the daily routine. Your pup will receive one-on-one attention every time they go outside, and safety is always my highest priority.
A typical day
Lots of walks and some play time are always a part of the day, along with naps if that is what your dog prefers. I adjust activities based on the personality and needs of the dog.
