This was our first time using Rover and I'm so glad it brought us to Barbara and her husband. Excellent communication from the first message I sent through the app, to setting up a meet and greet, to her sending the best pictures of our pup during the stay. I would highly recommend Barbara to anyone! Her services are second to none!

Barbara was wonderful! We had an amazing experience with a recent overnight stay! Our Jack Russell terrier can be anxious and a bit high maintenance, but she was incredibly patient, loving, and attentive. She took great care of him, worked with him on walks, and even let him sleep with her to keep him comfortable. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup—she’s truly a phenomenal sitter!

Barbara and her husband took absolutely wonderful care of my dogs while I was away. Our first meet n greet Barbara was warm, responsible, and clearly experienced with animals. She treated my dogs like part of their her family, giving them plenty of attention and affection. I really appreciated the updates and photos—they gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were happy and well cared for. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving pet sitters. I wouldn’t hesitate to have them watch my dogs again!

Barbara always takes such good care of our pup! She’s very communicative and gives frequent updates. Our pup always has the best time and gets so excited when we arrive to drop her off.

Barbara and her husband Tim are such kind and caring people! They were wonderful caregivers to my dog. They asked questions to make sure they understood his individual routine and needs regarding feeding, sleeping and walks. Barb provided texts with pictures each day so I got to see how happy and relaxed he was at their house and on their walks. I highly recommend them as sitters for your pet, and will be sure to contact them again if needed.

Safety, trust & environment

I do not have any pets of my own. I lost my precious kitty last year and am not ready to add a new pet to my home. I do however have 3 grand kitties and 3 granddogs that I take care of and walk. As a caregiver to your pet I can provide focused attention to your pet. I do not have a fenced yard but am ready, willing and able to provide excellent walks for your pet.

A typical day

I love to interact with dogs. Playing their favorite games with their favorite toys makes both of us happy. If course I will provide high quality walks to keep your pet stimulated.

It is of utmost importance that I know as much as possible about the needs of your pet. Including usual schedule, what they like to do and when and what they eat. Also any restrictions regarding activities and any health issues.
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.
