Information Barbara O. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for a pet, I like to learn as much as possible about their routine, habits, and preferences—from favorite toys to feeding times. Knowing about any medical needs, quirks, or fears helps me create a calm, safe environment that feels just like home. Every pet is unique, and I take pride in adapting my care to match their personality so they feel comfortable from the very start.
A typical day
Mornings usually start with cheerful greetings, breakfast, and some fresh air to start the day right. Depending on the pet’s personality, that might mean a nice walk, backyard playtime, or cozy cuddles on the couch. Throughout the day, I love mixing in activities that match their energy — from fetch and training games for the playful ones, to quiet companionship and soft brushing for pets who prefer calm and comfort. I make sure everyone gets plenty of attention, love, and little moments of joy. Evenings wind down with dinner, more play or snuggles, and a peaceful routine so they feel relaxed and secure before bedtime. My goal is to make every day feel like home.

Furry Getaway—Fun while you’re away
Pet care experience
Hi there! I’m Barb, a lifelong animal lover who’s happiest when surrounded by wagging tails and purring cats! I’ve been part of the Rover community since 2018 and have cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities over the years. Animals are truly my passion, which is why I now work with them full-time through pet care and grooming. I’m currently a part-time groomer at Petco, which has given me even more hands-on experience with animal behavior, handling, and making pets feel safe and comfortable in new environments. My husband and I are both huge animal lovers — honestly, if it were up to him, we’d probably have 10+ dogs and cats by now! 🐶🐱 Our shared love for animals fills our home with warmth, laughter, and plenty of fur (the best kind!). We live in Glenolden, where we offer a safe, loving, and playful environment for pets to feel right at home. Our house has a fully fenced yard where pups can safely run, play, and enjoy plenty of supervised outdoor time. We also share our home with our two rescue babies — Oliver and Tazzie — who have taught us so much about patience, love, and understanding every pet’s unique personality. Because of them, I have a special soft spot for anxious, timid, and rescue pets who may need extra reassurance and care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or just loves extra cuddles, I treat every animal like family. My goal is always to provide a stress-free experience filled with love, attention, playtime, and peace of mind for you while you’re away. I also have experience with medication administration and caring for multiple types of animals, including cats and small pets. Your pet will always be in caring and capable hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! 🐾

Reviews
She was amazing! She truly loved your dogs as if they were her own. She was very attentive. She took them for walks. We will be booking her again in the future!
Barb took great care of our boy while we were gone for 2 weeks. I felt so calm knowing that he was in good hands!
Barbara was super communicative and great with snoopy! Detailed updates and pics along walks. Will definitely use her again in the future.
Wonderful sitter as always! Barb was communicative, affectionate to my kitties, and punctual.
