Safety, trust & environment

I would need to care for the pets in their own home. I find its best for them to feel safe and secure in their own environment. But I have the ability to work with all instructions given by the pet parents.

Information Barbara L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any information that would help me best take care of your pet; Best way to walk them, where to walk them, any fears or any they like the best. If there is medication they are on and how it may affect them.

A typical day

I would walk where the dog is most comfortable until I get to know them. Then we could venture to a trail or a new neighborhood.

I've had cats my whole life. Always loved taking care of any kind of animal. I had a Choc. Lab/Rottweiler mix in college and more recently a Husky. My family always has me take care of their pets while they are on vacation.

Barabara was terrific! Responsive, punctual, and so attentive to my senior pup. She communicated with me throughout my trip and left my home clean and orderly.

Barb was amazing as always. Our dog has complicated medical issues that require both oral and IM medication administration and Barb doesn’t flinch!! Our dog loves her and I think she looks forward to us going away now lol

Barb is hands down the best dog sitter we could ask for! She feels like part of our family now. Our dog is very finicky and diabetic and barb treats her like her own. We would never be able to enjoy vacations with our children without her. We love Barb!!!

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.
