Reliable and communicative pet sitter! She took great care of our animals and was willing to book on pretty short notice. We felt really confident having her in the house.

No words for how awesome it was to go on a 10 day overseas vacation and feel confident my baby girl was being taken care of, loved on, and entertained throughout. Barb sent me daily photos and updates about the daily activities from playing with her pups to new friends, even her silly, sassy "I'm not going in the rain" stubbornness. Lol. She went above and beyond with the communication and even catered to me to keep my nerves down with her picky eating and needing her flea and tick medication while I was away. Anyway, my boyfriend and I were very happy with the level of care Hope received and look forward to future days of daycare, and overnight stays. I'd highly recommend using Barb for your fur baby.

Our other dog passed very recently and has been with Milo for life so leaving him was especially difficult. We typically board and this is our first time using rover. Barbara reassured us and sent photos/updates throughout our time traveling. Response time and communication was top tier. I could tell he felt comfortable and safe in her home and was happy as can be despite the circumstances. I am so happy we opted not to board. 10/10 recommend and would happily work with barb again.

Barbra is a wonderful pet sitter. She's always kind and understanding, always happy to accommodate our schedule and takes excellent care of Charlie! He needs a bit of reassurance and she makes him feel loved and safe when we're away!

Barbara was absolutely amazing caring for our puppy, Maddie! From the start, she was warm and clearly has a genuine love for animals. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Maddie was in such caring and capable hands. Barbara went above and beyond—she kept Maddie happy, well cared for, sent daily updates (w/pics) and gave her plenty of attention and affection. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust completely with our pup, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Barbara to anyone looking for a dependable, kind, and loving pet sitter. She’s truly the best!

Schedule

I am primarily working from home and can keep your dog company. On days when I do have to go to the office, your dog will be alone (with our dogs) for only 4-6 hours. I know a tired dog is a good dog, so some exercise and playtime are built into our mornings and afternoons.

Safety, trust & environment

We have two dogs - a 9 year old (DOB Jul 2017) 10 pounder and a 7 month old (DOB Dec 2025) golden retriever. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of safe space to run. We have several crates here if needed or preferred.

Pets

A typical day

I love my morning walk but definitely love it more with a dog! If your dog doesn't go for long, no problem. If they need exercise we can do several miles. Our fenced in back yard is great for fetch and running around off leash.

0 to 15 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Barbra can host up to 3 pets per night
Please let me know if your dog has special needs - medications, anxiety, food protectiveness, etc. With many foster dogs over the years, we have dealt with a number of issues but it's incredibly helpful to know about them in advance.
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.
