Safety, trust & environment

For the “About me” section, use this: I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where dogs can feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone, so I take their care seriously and do my best to follow their normal routine.

Information Barbara S. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know your pet’s habits, temperament, medical needs, and any specific preferences ahead of time. This helps ensure personalized care and a stress-free experience for them.

A typical day

During our time together, your pets will enjoy a variety of fun activities tailored to their needs and energy levels. For dogs, we’ll go on scenic walks around West Chelsea, play fetch in local parks, and enjoy interactive play sessions with toys. If your pet enjoys socializing, we’ll visit dog-friendly areas to meet other furry friends. My goal is to keep your pets happy, active, and entertained while ensuring they feel loved and comfortable.

Absolutely fantastic! Barbara is an amazing Rover. She was kind, flexible, and responsive. This was my first experience with Rover and it could not have been better.

Took wonderful care of my 2 pups. They can be a bit rambunctious, but didn't seem to be a problem. Picked them up and dropped them off when we traveled internationally. Will be using again!
