Pet care experience

Connecting with a dog is special. I find it easier to do once I've given a good ear scratch and a few massages! I've cared for and loved on my family's cocker spaniels and golden retrievers as I grew up. I was able to adopt my own fur baby as a young adult and now I have a mixed breed that gets all the love. Up until now, I've offered my friends and family dog care and boarding but now I am ready to offer trustworthy care to you as well!

Our Golden had another fun week with Barbara and family while we were over seas. She was treated like a member of their family and we received daily updates filled with smiles. Thank you again!

Barbara and family treat our 3 dogs great. The dogs recognized where they were going and were so excited when I dropped them off. Within hours they were acting like they lived there. Definitely recommend.

Barbara, Your behavior is completely irresponsible and unacceptable. We trusted you with our dog for 10 days of paid care while we are in another country. After only one night, you informed us that our dog was missing. Since that moment, you stopped answering calls and messages, blocked both my phone number and my husband’s phone number, and did not maintain any communication with us. This is a serious failure of responsibility. Leaving pet owners without information while their dog is missing is unacceptable and alarming. We expect immediate transparency, full cooperation, and clear information about what happened. We will be holding you accountable through Rover and the appropriate authorities for your negligence. This message is being documented.

Our puppy LOVES Barbara! She immediately greets her with a jump hug and furious tail wags :) So thankful to know she's in good hands while we have to be away.
