Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. With three dogs of my own and running a dog walking business, I ensure they are fed, exercised, and given attention every day. I plan my schedule to accommodate their needs, and I extend this commitment to my clients' dogs, ensuring they receive the same level of care and attention during their walks.

Safety, trust & environment

In my own home, I provide a loving and safe environment for my three dogs. This includes regular feeding, exercise, playtime, grooming, and veterinary care to keep them healthy and happy. When it comes to my dog walking business, I follow a structured routine for each client's pet. I ensure they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need during our walks. I also keep them hydrated and clean, and I'm attentive to any special instructions or requests from the pet owners, such as administering medications or using specific training techniques. My goal is to create a positive and comfortable experience for the pets, whether in their own home or out on a walk.

Pet care experience

My experience as a dog owner equips me with valuable skills for dog walking, such as: 1. **Understanding Canine Behavior:** Having three dogs of my own, I leave a deep understanding of canine behavior, which allows me to anticipate and manage their needs, from socializing to calming nervous pups. 2. **Patience and Empathy:** I’ve developed patience and empathy, crucial for handling different temperaments and helping dogs feel comfortable and secure during walks.

Barbara is an excellent dog sitter. She followed instructions to a tee, left us detailed notes during her visits, and took some super cute pictures as well! I would highly recommend her. She was also very diligent in cleaning up a doggy-accident, which we very much appreciate. I will certainly be booking with her in the future.

Such a pleasure to have Barbara come look after our boy. She is always on time and flexible when I need to change something. Our doggo is very comfortable with her and seems very content when we return home.

Barbara does a wonderful job taking care of my Old cat Tony and the house. I am especially grateful to her for being able to get to my house and shovel her way to the front door during a recent snow storm. Thanks Barb!!

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.
