I am here to spoil your fur babies!

Hi! You can call me Barb and I’m here to spoil your pet! I’ve had dogs since I was little. Your pup with be pampered, walked and well cared for. I will stay in touch with you and send pics of your pup. Of course lots of love to give, playtime and treats! I have always had at least 2 dogs at a time. Right now I have one as one just passed away. I love caring and playing with them and showing them attention. I have taken care of many animals in my lifetime.

My dog had an excellent stay with Barbara. She made us feel at ease about leaving our dog with her for a weekand and sent us daily pictures and stories about how she was doing. I think my dog had more fun during her stay than we did on our vacation 🤣. We will definitely send our dog to Barbara for our next vacation.

This was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad to have found Barbara. She was phenomenal with my dog. She communicated regularly and my pet felt very much at home. Thank you so much for your care.

I don’t want to leave this review because then everyone will want to bring their babies to Barb and Steve and their availability will go down, because they are awesome! We have two dogs, they come with lots of meds and instructions. I also have one that temperamental and can snap at people and dogs, in addition, the other one that is struggling with eating and taking pills. They really took care of them like I take care of them. They spoiled them, loved them and took care of them as if they were their own. They worked with all their issues and sent pictures so I could see they’re loved while we’re away. There are no words to express how stress free your trips away from home can feel knowing your babies are getting taken care of properly and loved while you have to be away. Truly amazing people for the babies and what all sitters should be like.

Our chihuahua is my disabled husband’s unofficial support dog, so she is beyond important to us! We have never left her with a complete stranger before, so this was a little nerve racking at the beginning. Barb and her husband Steve were sooo amazing to work with and they took great care of our baby. How do I know? Barb sent updates and pictures to us every day, without me having to ask and it made us feel so much better seeing her playing and knowing she was eating well. They know how to spoil fur babies and we have no doubt we’ll be asking them to watch our girl the next time we have to go out of town.
