Information Barbara S. would like to know about your pet

The only downfall is that I live in a condo building with neighbors near by so I would be unable to board any dogs that bark while being left at home

A typical day

I usually start the mornings relaxing on the balcony and then head outside for a pleasant stroll around the block. If the weather is nice, we might hit the trail for a longer walk. Afterward, we return indoors for some play time if they’d like or always happen to relax and give them pets if that’s what they prefer

A loving home for your loving pet!

Pet care experience

Current work schedule: Mondays for 10 hours. Available other days of week. I currently don’t have a dog but I’ve always loved and had dogs my whole life so I'm excited to care for your pet and enjoy their company. I was devoted to my previous senior dog who was deaf and blind. I’m patient, nurturing, and love being outdoors for walks! I usually work 8-3 allowing plently of time after work for walks and playing, making me a great fit as a dog sitter. Im occasionally off work on some week days too. I hope to provide companionship for your pet while ensuring you feel relaxed knowing they are loved, safe, and having fun

Barbara really helped us out last second! She was super accommodating and helpful every step of the way. Our pup came back happy and exhausted which is hard to do for our guy! Thank you so much!

Barbara was wonderful! She was so accommodating and agreed to watch Skyler for an overnight on short notice. She went above and beyond to make her feel safe and comfortable and gave her extra love and attention during thunderstorms, which normally scare her. Barbara also kept me updated with the sweetest photos, I can’t recommend her enough!

Gizmo seemed to really enjoy his time. Got lots of pictures and would have her board Gizmo again.

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.
