Pet care experience

We are living in some weird times, and I know that’s stressful enough without having to worry about your fur babies while you travel or visit with family. I can assure you that your dog is in good hands and I am available to help you feel at ease. The way I see it, dogs are family members. You can expect me to fill in as a proud helicopter dog mom - giving you frequent updates and photos of your little guy/girl. I also like to keep dogs active with frequent walks and playing, but also shower them with affection just like their owners would. Plus, I live around the corner from a cute dog park :) Growing up, I was always around animals. Between raising my childhood German Shepherd, Nala, to spending time with the horses on my family's farm, I developed a strong bond with animals of all kinds. I have lived with dogs of all shapes and sizes. While I have a corgi rescue named Fitz, he is staying with my grandma as her trusty COVID companion for the foreseeable future.... so honestly I’m looking forward to babysit pups right now. Every dog is different, and I enjoy connecting with new dogs and accommodating to each dog's individual needs—just let me know ahead of time of any quirks. Please feel free to contact me regarding drop-ins, daily walks, or over-night pet sitting. Thank you!

Our cat was so happy to have Barbara come by and give him some love! Barbara was responsive and sent us a video. Will definitely book her again in the future.

Barbara was fantastic! She responded quickly and really helped me out when I had to stay late at work. She was a lifesaver!

Barbara was great with my dog, Bentley! He doesn't normally like new people but warmed up to her quickly. She kept me in the loop and sent me several pictures and updates daily so I would know how he was doing. I'll definitely be using her again!

We adore Barbara! We knew that she has a rescue dog, so were very confident that she would take especially good care of our dog as well! Our puppy loves her! Glad we found Barbara thru Rover! :)

I like to go to the dog park, or walk dogs in any of the dog-friendly parks in the area! I'm also a runner, so I don't mind tiring out some of the big dogs out there with endless bounds of energy.
