Barbara absolutely adores dogs. She is kind, patient, and loving to her own dog, Baxter, and I think that her desire to work with Rover shows that she is a responsible dog owner because she is consciously socializing Baxter while laying the groundwork to make an informed decision about whether she would like to add another dog to her household in the future. I trust Barbara implicitly with my own two dogs, both of whom love her dearly! She treats them with so much love and kindness when they visit her home. I have trusted her to watch my dogs in the past, and she has done an excellent job. I never have to worry about whether they will be happy, healthy, or safe with her--she always keeps them entertained and active. Her house is safe, puppy-proofed, and puppy friendly, and she is always alert and aware. I am very confident recommending Barbara to your program; she will definitely be a loving and responsible caregiver for any dog she meets!
