Information Barbara M. would like to know about your pet

I have had pets here over the years. They love to spend time with my friendly dog. I have spent most of my time volunteering and sheltering dogs from the local animal shelter to prevent overcrowding. I gladly take available dogs into my house. I love puppies and have taken a few litters into my home. I also am very competent at going to your house to care for your pets so they are in a safe and secure area. Making your pets feel comfortable, safe and fed is a main concern for all pet owners and myself.

A typical day

I like to discuss pet care with the owners. I like to walk dogs, check on their safety and health (eating and drinking). I like to be able to contact the owners with any questions that may arise. I am very competent when it comes to caring for other pets like I would my own fur baby. I have the summer off, so the dogs will be getting all of my attention. I like to play with dogs, interact like walking, playing in their yard or home, make sure dogs are safe, eating and drinking and otherwise healthy. I like to have a contact number if your pet is not feeling well or is an escape artist. I love all animals and I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I can care for all types of animals, but dogs and cats are my specialty.

A DOG'S BEST FRIEND

Pet care experience

I love pets and have been around them my entire life. I have a dog myself and know how much they are a part of my family. I treat all pets like my own. I believe your pet's safety and happiness is the highest priority. I want to make sure your pet is exercised (if needed), has food and water, potty breaks medication and feels comfortable. I want to make sure that your pets are happy while you are away. I have been advertising on Rover.com for many years and I love it. This is truly my dream job. I enjoy a sunset dinner with my dogs. Dogs deserve the pure love that they give you.

She did an amazing with my dog Anya. She's a bit shy of people and larger dogs but both Barbara and her boy did amazing! I will definitely use her again.

Barbara is amazing! She took such great care of Sandy while we were vacationing in Cabo. She sent pictures and updates daily. She was so caring and I know Sandy is going to miss her. We definitely will use Barbara again. The best!

Barbara was so great with our Panzer, she made sure he was happy and comfortable. I can clearly see that she is very considerate about taking care of other people’s fur babies, and I love that she truly and genuinely cares! She sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated.
