Information Barbara G. would like to know about your pet

Are they afraid of storms, lightening, fireworks? Are they social on walks or should I make sure they are not petted by other walkers or pets? Are they crate trained? If I need to run an errand can they stay in a kennel for a short time.

A typical day

We can take walks, play ball and with toys. I have a basket of dog toys. We can play tug of war with rope toys.

Loving Care for Your Pet

Pet care experience

I have had a pet since I was in high school. Spend 6 years as a small boutique breeder for Australian Shepard's, who met the requirements to be registered with both ASCA and AKC. In the last 5 years, I have taken care of my adult children's pets when they travel for their jobs. I have cared for older dogs who have had health problems and needed medications and injections as well as puppies full of energy.

Barbara is the best. Our dog loves her and Tucker and never wants to leave!

Barbara was awesome! First I needed a last minute sitter and reached out to her. She was able to work with me to watch my Westie for 8 days. While we were gone she updated me daily with pics and notes, which I appreciated. I am definitely going to use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter.

Trusting our dog to Barbara has made our travel time with our family so much more enjoyable. We did not question how Mocha might be doing at any point during her 5 day stay. Wonderful

Darci had another great stay with Barbara and Tucker. She has officially made Barbara one of “her humans.” I appreciate being able to get away knowing she is happy and loved!

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.
