Pets will always maintain their normal routine. From feedings to exercise I will keep them normal. Playtime and cuddle time always important. All meds delivered on time.

Information Barry W. would like to know about your pet

Your dog’s happiness, safety, and well being is my first and only priority when I am with your dog or dog’s. The more I know the better starting with feeding habits. I will always provide feedings based on your instructions. If your dog has any special needs or health issues I would like to know. Things your dog loves or hates. If you could take the time on your dog’s Rover profile and update as much as you can it helps me in providing the greatest care I can. I know some first aid but will need all emergency numbers and preferred Vet. I welcome Meet and Greets at anytime. They are so important for all. Feel free to contact me anytime for me to meet you and your dog.

A typical day

I will provide the love and comfort they need while you are away. Service includes all feeding, walks, playtime, and most important is companionship. Can provide special care.

Your Dog is a Friend I Have Not Met

Pet care experience

MY CHARGES My rates are set up for Lee County. Cape Coral Residents will receive a discounted rate. Complimentary Meet and Greet Licensed In Cape Coral and Lee County Registered in the State of Florida USDA Class T Certification I am originally from Kent, Ohio and currently reside in Cape Coral, Florida. I have had a lifelong passion for dogs and in the past few years have started turning it into a profession. I have future ambitions to train service and therapy dogs. I have worked with hunting dogs in the past and even been involved with some shows. I hold a USDA Class T carrier license along with licenses in Pet Services, and Animal Handler. Training, walking, caring, and just hanging out with dogs is just something I totally love. I have transported 100’s from local taxi trips to coast-to-coast journeys. I have walked many dogs. The old saying of “Dogs are a man’s best Friend” holds true. We all become friends. My genuine love for dogs will show when caring for yours. OVERNIGHT STAYS Deciding to hire a house sitter to come into your home and take care of your dog and your family of pets tells me one thing. Pets are your family. I understand that some pets just need general care of food, water, and a clean safe home. Keeping proper feeding times are important. Cats can be either/or sometimes. Dogs are different. My # 1 priority is to maintain the dog's normal routine in the comfort of his or her home. You have chosen this service to get the best care for your dog as you can while you are away. I will work hard to help you feel at ease with plenty of updates and photos. I have a genuine love for dogs, and it will show when I am caring for yours. I truly enjoy the time I spend and sure hope to have a new friend when all is done. DROP IN VISITS and WALKS I am dog lover with genuine love for all animals making sure all your pets get the care they need. I will stop by for a potty break, food, water, and provide some play full company for all your dogs and other pets. I can give oral medicine if needed. Maybe it’s a small walk or playing some ball. If your dog is lazy, I can do that to. A little love and company is all they need. I will give them that during my visit. For dog walks I prefer a harness on all dogs for safety.

We couldn’t be happier with the phenomenal care Barry provided for our dogs while we were away visiting family over Thanksgiving. He went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable, happy, and well-loved the entire time. In fact, our dogs are still wandering around looking for him—they absolutely adored him! Barry was reliable, communicative, and treated our pets like they were his own. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We highly recommend Barry to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy pet sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with him again! 🐾💛

Barry is an excellent dog sitter! He communicates very well, always follows through on his word, and shows up exactly when he says he will. He took wonderful care of my dog, spending plenty of quality time with him, and it’s clear my dog absolutely loves him. Barry sends frequent updates, so you never have to worry about how your pet is doing. He is reliable, dependable, and truly goes above and beyond. Highly recommend!

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.
