Availability

I’m available. However, I do work full time. I have three teenagers that will help out with potty breaks and feedings. No matter what shift I’m away, be sure your pup is receiving quality care. Most days I’m available for brisk walking and a little ball throw, tug-a-war, or brushing. My schedule is updated regularly for boarding and other services. I am a real person and understand you are too. I am flexible and often able to assist with just a little communication. If you are looking for something specific let me know so I can accommodate!

Safety, trust & environment

Spacious backyard, quite neighborhood, and park close by. Ability to crate indoors and out, if desired. I have an 6yr old neutered Australian shepherd mix with a cool demeanor m. He likes to play if you are interested in socializing your fur-baby with another pup. Edgar prefers pups to humans. He has become quite the big brother type vs the fragile spirit he once was since we started Rover! If not interested in socializing, I have the ability to keep them separate. Need something I did not mention… just ask… it’s likely possible.

Information Barbara W. would like to know about your pet

Does your pup have any special needs, behaviors, or personality traits I can account for? What’s his/her temperament? Do they get along with other dogs? If not are you trying to increase your pups social tolerance? Let me know the tricks and trades that I can use to best serve your fur-baby!

A typical day

We will walk, run, or just explore! Exercise is good for the spirit. There is a park near my location, a dog park less than a 10 min drive away. Free roam in home and backyard if suitable. Lots of cuddles with the pup and communication with the parent, if needed. Just let me know what you need.

Pet care experience

Quality care and attention to detail. I’m offering playtime and peace for every pup and pup parent! Full report will be provided at the end of each service. I’m happy to provide updates while you are away, if requested. Whatever has you separated from your fur-baby is more successful when you are at peace.

This was a very last minute reservation that kept changing and Barbara handled it all gracefully. I will forever be grateful for finding to care for our dog when we traveled. I wish we could take her with us on our upcoming move to Las Cruces. Barbara- thank you for everything!

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.
