I could not be happier with Barbara’s care of my cats in my home during a recent trip. This was my first time using Rover (or any pet sitter, ever, for that matter) and I was delighted to receive updates, pictures, and videos every day. It really made my trip so much more pleasurable to know the kitties were in capable hands. I would not hesitate to engage her again for in-home visits. THANK YOU!

My girls loved them! Pictures and updates were sent daily. My directions were followed exactly, as I have a girl with allergies. I will definitely use them again.

Information Barbie & Jake B. would like to know about your pet

Please share your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medical needs, temperament, and any special quirks or fears. Knowing this helps me provide the best, most comfortable care possible.

A typical day

Whether your pup is a playful adventurer or a laid-back lounger—we’ve got them covered! For the active ones, we enjoy fun activities like tunnel running, low bar hurdles, and walks in the park. For the more relaxed pups, there are big, comfy couches perfect for snuggling and a large bay window where they can watch the world (and maybe a few squirrels) go by as they drift off to sleep.

Pet care is truly woven into every part of my day. Since I’m home full time, I’m 100% available—day or night—to give your dog the attention, exercise, and love they need. From morning walks to afternoon playtime in our fenced yard, and cozy evening snuggles, caring for pets isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s simply a natural part of my daily life.
