Barbara was so great with our Junie and very flexible with our needs. She’s a gem and we will definitely use her again if we’re ever in the area! Thanks Barbara!

Barbara was the absolute best! You can tell she really understands dogs—not just watching them, but getting them. She’s kind, easy to work with, and so accommodating. My flight was delayed and she kept my sweet girl without a second thought. That meant everything to me. I highly, highly recommend her—she’s a gem!

Another fantastic stay with Barbara! I can’t sing her praises enough. My Lupine always comes home feeling great, having had lots of playtime opportunities. Love the pics Barbara sends!

Schedule

I am retired and have all day to pamper your pups like they were with family. I have raised a large family myself. We always had multitudes of pets around the house. I have started to specialize in smaller and older dogs. I really love pampering and caring for the seniors. I love to prepare special diets and am really good at giving meds .

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced yard which is impossible to escape. Lots of comfy overstuffed sofas and armchairs. Both of my beloved ancient Dauchsunds passed away last year. It has been so great welcoming Rover dogs into my home and heart. I love dogs and provide a lot of attention and affection for each guest. I can take care of any food or medication needs.

Pets

A typical day

The dogs in my care have free run of the house and backyard. Most dogs bring their own bedding but they are invited on the sofas and chairs. Unless the owner specifically asked not to let them . The dogs always lie about it if asked directly.

0 to 15 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Barbara can host up to 3 pets per night
Just let me know about any special requirements for your pet and I will ensure they get what they need. I can't recommend pill pockets highly enough for any doggos on meds. I wish I had discovered that decades ago.
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.
