Loving Care for Your Pet

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 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!

As usual, Barbara took great care of Sophie. We will not hesitate to book with her in the future.

Safety, trust & environment

I absolutely loved breeding Aussies and taking care of the little puppies until they found their forever home. I will care for your pet like it was my own. I have a safety measures set up to ensure your pet is kept safe while under my care, such as, a gate set up between the kitchen and front door so there is not chance they could run out. I will adhere to your pets current schedule (i.e. feeding/walking/etc.).

Pets

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.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only
Barbara can host up to 2 pets per night
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.
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.
