Information Barbara H. would like to know about your pet

I would need to know any health or behavioral issues so I can give him/her the best possible care. I also would like his/her vet information and an emergency number for you while you are away.

A typical day

To encourage physical activity, we play with toys and balls. I walk the dogs in the neighborhood and give them plenty of time to “smell the flowers” along the way.

Doggie Heaven

Pet care experience

My love for dogs began more than 35 years ago with a Bichon named Sam. We found him as a puppy and he quickly became a member of the family. Throughout the years, I've raised nine dogs. These animals have given me so much love. I currently have a great little six-year-old guy named "Frankie.” I'm retired and home most of the time so I can provide undivided attention your precious pet. I feed my dog twice a day and a few treats when warranted. The treats he receives are natural and healthy. I love dogs and will take good care of yours as if they were my own. Frankie is waiting to play! I can care for your pet overnight/weekend/week(s). I also follow any feeding schedule and guidelines they are used to. I have a large, fenced yard and a friendly pup who loves to play but also likes his naps during the day. My home is “pet-proofed” to avoid pets getting into something they shouldn’t.

Milou had a wonderful time staying with Barbara and he was very well taken care of. Barbara was very easy to communicate with and she sent us lots of photos which we appreciated.

We trust Barbara with our older dog. He has a good experience there and always finds a friend to play with.

Barbara is fabulous! She texted and send pics every day. She was careful to keep Rosie on a tie. She loves dogs and it shows! She’s terrific with Rosie and I could see the love for all her boarders. I totally trusted her with our girl.

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.
