Pet care experience

Room to Roam in a fenced yard.

I have had dogs and cats my entire life. About 10 years ago I decided to Foster dogs. After a few years I started working with medical dogs from the shelter. I also enjoy happy go lucky pups and adult dogs. A friend suggested I work with Rover. After reading up on their services it was clear this is something right up my alley. The dogs I babysit will have inside and outside time but no more than their family requests. In the past I did adoption events at various locations for an Animal Shelter and was able to get to their needs that I have put in place. Working with Rover has given me the opportunity to meet more 4 legged friends and their families. I am available for up to two dogs. I offer a discount for stays over 7 days and discount for two dogs. I no longer foster and treat my yard for safety. I would love to be there for you while you are away. A typical day starts with potty time and a romp in the yard. Then inside for water and food. Usually another trip outside to do their business again. Then inside or outside to play. I have a bowl of dog food and 💦 out all the time My Rovers are rarely put in a kennel unless they are chewers or the family requests that they need to be at bedtime only. Other than that I have few rules. I just want your baby to be comfortable and happy.

We have a Goldendoodle and was very pleased with him staying with her. We got a video update and a picture and knew our dog Bodie was doing fine and having fun thank you.

Barbara was absolutely amazing with my dog! Throughout the stay, she kept me completely reassured with frequent updates, photos, and videos. It was so clear how much genuine love and passion she has for what she does, and my pup warmed up to her immediately. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I’ll definitely be booking with Barbara again!

Schedule

I do work part time but I have someone in my home 24/7. I know dogs prefer a private home and not a kennel. I rarely kennel a dog but let the owners dictate what they prefer.
