Pet care experience

fulltime care for your pets needs!

I’m a warm caring pet lover. I recently lost my 2 senior dogs. I used to feed them homemade organic food and treats. I love to walk outdoors and go to park with your furry babies. I Wouldn't mind bathing pets, I love to have them around. I Also have a pet stroller for senior pets. I Miss having dogs around to play with and keep me company. I am a teacher but stopped working to stay home with my fur babies when they got older. I Used to be a stay at home senior doggy mom until they got to old and passed away, one passed away in February and the other in November of 2017, at the age of 16. This is my way to heal to watch your fur babies and give them the love I used to give to my fur babies. I have a big home that is tiled and a big grass yard front and back where pets can play. I also have a kid pool for hot days so they can swim.your dog will be loved and cared for. I love dogs and can't wait to cuddle with your dogs. My home is waiting for your beloved pets to come and hangout with us! We love to play, cuddle, and give lots of attention to your babies! I love to have them over and will treat them as my own with lots of love and attention!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Barbara is wonderful and took amazing care of our little old gal who’s never been cared for away from our home before. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

It is hard to write right now due to left arm is immobile but Barbara is great! My Lena is always happy when I see her via pictures or when I pick her up. She loves to play with other dogs at Barbaras' doggy day care and Barbara allows her to sleep in the bed with her at night as she does at home. Thank You Barbara!

Schedule

I recently opened a doggy day care business in Rio Rancho, so your dog will have plenty of play time with other dogs. We are there for the day and all go home to relax and sleep. Have small or older dogs? Don’t worry we have a place for them at the day care, we have a special area for them where they can relax and still socialize with other dogs like them!!!

A typical day

We will go to Cabezon park on walks and walk around my neighborhood. Play catch and try to teach tricks. Before my two senior dogs passed away we used to go on walks to the park and also our walking trails by our home. We still have lots of new toys that we could play with and I love to just cuddle with your pets. I love to hangout in our yard and play with your pets, I also love to play hide n seek in our home with your fur babies.

Any medication or certain dog diets, also how they like to sleep. **************ATTENTION NEW AND PAST CLIENTS- if you dogs bowels are not regular and may have some issues please let me know before booking, so I can accommodate for their needs.******************* *************if your dog has or ever had kennel cough I cannot take them, I know it can be treated but I don’t want to risk other dogs getting it, sorry and thank you,************** Some dogs can’t sleep without their parents so I’ll do my best to make them comfy even if it means me sleeping with them on the floor or on the bed. I also would like to know about their vaccines and if I can get a copy or picture of your pets shot record, just to make sure they have bordatella up to date yearly , distemper parvo yearly and for rabies to comply with the local law - yearly to three years in our case. You could do a picture and send it to me on the rover app. Pets must be potty trained Thank you!
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.
