Highlights
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.

Ratings and reviews
Barbra and her family were the best sitters!!!!!!! Sunny was well taken care of. very reliable and super caring. 5 stars for sure.
Barbara was great! Seamus was comfortable and happy. Barbara kept us informed throughout our trip with pictures and updates. :)
Barbara was great and took good care of our dogs. She was very knowledgeable with animals. Ryder was even exposed to a cat for the first time and Barbara's cat was very dog friendly which made the experience nice. Barbara even noticed a bump on Autumn which is being monitored with our vet and managed to get Autumn to finish all of the pills she takes with peanut butter. If we are ever in the area again we would definitely use Barbara.
Wonderful care for our George boy! Barbara was great with him and welcomed him into her family instantly. George was well fed and well loved!
She is wonderful. Even on a last minute. Asked at 3 o’clock for 430 and was approved.
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.

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.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
The dogs spend very little time outdoors. I have a fenced in yard that they can wonder around or stretch their legs with a healthy run. I can provide a warm environment with lots of love
Pets

Tug of rope, and playing with other dogs. Running in the yard and just having a good old time with other dogs. Lots of tennis ball time.
