Woofderful Good Time

About me: My name is Barb,I'm a 34 year old who has a deep passion for dogs. I've always had a dog in my life that being said I have a friendly little Chihuahua named Sandy and also a Handsome Corgi-Chihuahua named Socrates. They both Love to go on long walks and to play fetch and cuddle with each other as well. I've been dog sitting for the past 12 years now off,on starting back in 2010. A family friend asked my Aunt if she knew anyone that was a animal lover and if they could Dog sit around the 4th of July while they go on vacation and so my journey began. I am available for Doggie Day Care,Dog Walks and Dog Boarding all week. On that note I would Love to meet your Furry Friend. Come dog sit with a person that gets them,paws and all! Have a Woofderful day!!!

What a godsend! We couldn’t have found a better pet sitter for our dog. Barbara treated our baby like her own, which is a gift when we were out of town. I highly, highly, highly recommend Barbara and cannot wait to send our little guy back to her on our next trip!

Juju had a wonderful weekend with Barbara. Barbara really understands a dogs personality and does a great job of making them feel comfortable. She was also there for us on short notice to save the day.

Barb is the perfect sitter. She makes both owner and pet feel completely comfortable with the separation. She takes everything into consideration including separation anxiety, health and age needs, and comfort. Her pups are amazing friends for your pet to spend time with. Highly recommend!!!

Doggy Day Care • Jul 11, 2021

Barbara was AMAZING! Such a kind and wonderful person. She is very communicative and trustworthy! She sent pictures throughout the day and went above and beyond for Henry. Henry would get so happy when he saw her. I'm really happy I found her and I will definitely be using her again when in the area. I would highly recommend her. Thanks again for taking such good care of my Henry.

Pets

A typical day

Well where I live there are nice long scenic paths to walk your dog through. At my complex there are also Parks for them to socialize with other Dogs, playing fetch and chasing each others tails are a few activities the parks can provide.

0 to 15 lbs

Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Barbara can host up to 2 pets per night
When I have Dogs sit with me at my place I just ask that they can get along with other Dogs and not be heavier then 40 Ibs. On the otherhand I don't mind House sitter at your place with a 100Ib. Dog as long as their well tempered. And I just need to know if your Dog has any Health issues or Allergies and that should be fine.
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.
