Pet care experience

I've been taking care of dogs in my home and theirs for almost 7 years now in the Madison area. I recently moved to Waukesha and would like to start that up again...but I now live in a condo so can only take small dogs here. If you're comfortable with me staying at your house, I would love to get to know your fur babies and love them as my own! I always like to set up a meet and greet first, and I have references if need be. I hope to meet you and your 4-legged friends soon!

Barbara was an amazing Rover. She was very communicative, accommodating. and demonstrated a true caring for our puppy. We grew to trust her implicitly with his well-being as well as taking care of our home. Our dog Duncan was a little spicy. He is a 10 month old puppy who definitely kept her on her toes, kept her up at night, but she never lost her positive attitude and ability to see him for the adorable rambunctious little guy he is. We cannot recommend Barb enough for your needs, and we will have no hesitation to use her in the future.

Barbara did a wonderful job of taking care of my 6 year old very shy Golden Retriever! Barbara sent me pictures and kept me updated on how she was doing! I will definitely book another stay with her!

Barbara was great! She was responsive, flexible and quick to respond/communicate! Cash, our almost 3 year old lab, was exhausted when he got home … meaning he got just what he needed while with Barbara! We’d definitely book with her again!

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.
