Lover of dogs!

Pet care experience

Hi, I am Barbara. I live in Riva with my 8 year old Golden Retriever-Cooper. * With over 30 years as a dog owner, I am excited to give your dog the specific care and attention they deserve. Whether you have a golden retriever that needs extra love and needs to get the zoomies out or a corgi that needs to get the sniffs in, I’m experienced nurturing all breeds, ages, and sizes. I cannot wait to meet your dog and have a new friend to work with.

Barbara is such a great care taker! She gave our puppy the extra love and attention she needs to get her energy out and feel loved while I am at work during the day. I love getting updates throughout the work day knowing Lucy is under great care ☺️

Barbara was outstanding in every way. Betty White was in the best of hands and Barbara communicated with me all along the way which made me feel confident and content. Thank you Barbara! I hope that you can walk Betty again sometime soon!!

I can promise you I will love and care for you dog like my own! I love to explore neighborhoods and exercise daily! I am always ready to step it up or meander depending on what makes your dog happiest! Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.” – Roger Caras

Information Barbara R. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know your dogs energy/exercise needs, food, preferred treats and any other unique behaviors or activities that they like or do not like so your dog feels safe and cared for!

A typical day

If you live in a neighborhood, we will be sure to explore and enjoy all the sights! If you also have a fenced yard, I am happy to throw balls and toys as part of our time spent together. I know when we have had an older pet, they often just enjoyed some cuddle time after a walk. I would always check for fresh water before leaving and share a treat if that is part of your routine :)

I am fully available any time of day on short notice, as I am a recently retired elementary school teacher. I am looking to fill that time and place in my heart with something else I am passionate about- dogs!
