Pet care experience

Easy dog or cat sitting.

I am a dog and cat lover. Fine company and sensitive to any pet’s special needs. I am an educated single woman . I am home a lot. I like to sing to dogs too and read them books. I have had two dogs and three cats as pets in my life, but cared for many more than this. I am very sensitive to a pet owner's needs to feel comfortable with the person they choose to care for their family members. Pets are great friends too. Walk both morning and evening. Meet and greets are great ways to see if we can help your dog or cat have a good stay.

Doggy Day Care • juil. 06, 2025

Barbara took great care of Lola for us! I had a last minute trip into town to visit a sick friend. July 4th weekend so finding any of my usual dog sitters was not an option. Used Rover for the first time and Barbara did a great job with Lola. Received pictures and had great communication through the sitting. I absolutely would use Barbara again!

Barbara took great care my cat, Vinny. She made it work, keeping Vinny at her home even though she had a pet cat. Vinny took to Barbara and was even snuggling with her by the end of the weekend! Barbara was prompt for all meetings and most helpful. I got several pictures of Vinny during his stay. I will use her again.

Barbara was fantastic watching my dog. She was friendly, responsive and responsible. She provided pictures and updates along the way. Waffles was happy when I arrived to pick him up and I’d happily request Barbara board him again.

Horrible attitude. Doesn’t like animals. Couldn’t “handle” my SERVICE ANIMAL. Made me feel very nervous while I was gone and when my flight got cancelled I had to send someone to get my dog. I did not want him in her care for another second. Barbara should not be a rover sitter.

Barbara is the best! Every time she has taken Ollie we know we are leaving him in good hands! She has a clean laid back home and Ollie is a well tempered boy so he fits right in! Thanks for always taking such good care of him!

Just general things like what makes him/her happy and content. His/ Her routine. Also like for a pets bed or special toys to be brought in along with food.
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.
