(Updated May 24, 2025) I am currently a full-time student and unemployed, so I will have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need and fulfill any chores that need to be done around the house. My school schedule has not been determined for the Fall 2025 semester yet.

Safety, trust & environment

Because I live in a small apartment with limited space, I only accept jobs that require/offer me to stay at the client's home. When at the client's home, I make sure I get all the information I need regarding the pet's schedule and dietary needs. Depending on the weather and physical ability of the dog(s), I'll take it/them on daily walks.

Information Barbara S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pets have any special needs or behaviors I should be aware of. During the meet and greet, I'll definitely make sure to ask about their day-to-day schedule and what kind of activities they like to engage in. If you do consider me for Drop Ins, please keep in mind I live in Castle Rock and will add an additional fee for gas and time spent driving if you live outside of the Castle Rock Area.

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs mentally and physically; I notice they tend to love me more that way! Or, if the dog(s) are low maintenance I'll spend my time near them, hanging out, and even taking them on walks around the neighborhood.

Pet care experience

I've been a pet lover since I can remember. I am not only diligent in taking care of pets, but I pride myself in providing overall quality service. Pets need to feel safe and happy while the owners are away, and owners need to feel at ease that their pets and house are in good hands. That is why I will go the extra mile to ensure your comfort and trust!

Barbara is our go-to dog sitter! We were so happy that she made accommodations in her busy schedule to help us out, again! She's the best :-)

We had a great experience with Barbara. At the initial meet and greet, Barbara was very kind, asked plenty of questions, took notes and showed a clear love and understanding of dogs. During her stay with our pups she sent lots of updates and pictures, which we loved. We had no worries at all knowing she was taking care of things while we were out of town. Thank you Barbara for an excellent job!!

As always, she did a fantastic job with our pupper and left the house in amazing condition! Sent us lots of great pictures of their adventures and kept us up to date on anything that happened! Thanks so much!

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.
