Working from home lets me spend more time attending to your dog as needed. An extra cuddle, treat, or belly rub! They be will be part of the family while visiting with me. I can accommodate most dogs, but I prefer not to host aggressive dogs or dogs with severe anxiety or attachment issues. All dogs must be potty trained, and well socialized.

Information Barry W. would like to know about your pet

I do not have a large amount of experience giving meds to dogs, but I have been successful with my own dogs when they've needed it. If your dog has special needs, we can talk about it and see if I'm comfortable with the requirements.

A typical day

I love to play games with dogs, whether it is tug of war with a rope or chasing balls. . And if they just want to snuggle, that's good too. I do *not* take dogs to dog parks.

Friends have relied on me for years to watch their fur babies. I work from home so frequent potty breaks are easy, as are walks. Let me take care of your dog, so you can relax while out of town.

Barry was fantastic with Ollie! This was my first time using him, and I couldn't be happier. Ollie seemed incredibly relaxed, happy, and well taken care of the entire time. I really appreciated that Barry sent regular picture updates of their walks and nap times, which gave me total peace of mind. I will definitely be using Barry again and highly recommend him!

Kira's first time staying with Barry and we're already booked for another. Great communication, a comfortable environment...true home away from home for your dog. I know Kira was well taken care of during her stay. Thank you!

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.
