We love Barbara and Chewy!! So incredibly thoughtful, communicative, and sweet! We truly trust her with our dog, and can't say enough good things about how amazing she is! Highly recommended!

Took very good care of my dog, Hobbes, over a somewhat longer period (12 days). He seemed happy to be staying with Barbara and I got many photos of him out and about. Barbara also did a great job keeping up with some special care he needed, and I'd be happy to book with her again!

Once again, Barbara is awesome! She takes great care of our senior dog and we highly recommend her.

Barbara and her dog, Chewy, were INCREDIBLE!!! we left our dog with her for two weeks. she sent daily updates of activities, outings and walks that they did together - she went above and beyond taking him to Petsmart, a farmers market and starbucks runs! she was very professional, always on time, responsive, very loving to our dog and always so friendly. she followed feeding instructions perfectly and sent so many photos and video updates!!! thank you Barbara!!! 💖

excellent sitter, she did a fantastic job taking care of my normally very scared cat! very adaptable and sends lots of pictures and updates!

Barbara and Chewy were incredible hosts as always!!!

Barbara is simply the best. We found her on Rover after moving to Chicago, and count ourselves lucky to have such a great sitter for our older dog. We are repeat clients, and she is always our go to sitter. When we can, we actually plan our trips around Barbara’s availability.

We are return clients of Barbara and Chewy. They are amazing, and are always our first choice in caring for our dog. We have used multiple pet sitters over the years. A couple of them were pretty terrific, but Barbara is far and away the best! She is reliable, responsible, and she takes care of her guests like they are her own.

Thank you Barbara for always taking such good care of our pup, Dallas! Barbara and Chewie are the absolute best and Dallas can’t wait for his next stay. Thanks again!

Barbara, thank you for always taking such good care of our senior Yorkie, Dallas. We can tell how comfortable he feels staying, with you and it means a lot to us.

Oscar had a great time with Barbara and Chewy! I hate leaving my dog, but I'm confident he'll be well cared for when he stays with Barbara.

Barbara is AMAZING!! She is everything you could hope for in a person to entrust the care of your pet. She is extremely reliable, and takes her job very seriously, and does it with a very warm disposition. Our dog Lanie is older, and we wanted someone who would understand her needs. Barbara really delivered. She's like a dog whisperer. We received updates and pictures everyday, and Lanie was happy, well rested and given EXCELLENT care while staying with Barbara and Chewy. Her dog Chewy has a great personality too, and was a lovely companion for our dog to hang out with. She covered every aspect of Lanie's care with us beforehand in detail, and I have never been more at ease with leaving Lanie with her. We've had a lot of boarding experiences over the years, and Barbara is hands down, simply the BEST! We have already booked with her for another upcoming stay, and I am so happy to have found someone who is so dedicated and genuine. If I could give her 10 stars instead of 5, I would!

Barbara took fantastic care of our 4 pound senior dog. She was very attentive to his health needs and kept us updated with photos throughout his stay. This is our 3rd time leaving our dog with Barbara, and we have always been so grateful for her gentle and thoughtful care.

Barbara was a great caretaker for my elderly dog. She handled his medical and emotional needs with care and compassion. I can't leave out her charming assistant, Chewy - between the two of them, Oscar felt welcome and settled in nicely. If he could type, he'd leave a great review, too. I would absolutely book with Barbara again, and would recommend her, especially if your dog needs a little extra nurturing.

Barbara and Chewy were incredible hosts as always!! Friendly, communicative, flexible, and so sweet! Highly recommended!!!

As always, Barbara and Chewy were excellent, caring, and communicative hosts!!!

Barbara and Chewy were again incredible hosts! Thoughtful, responsive, and extremely caring!! Can't recommend enough!!!

A+++++!!!! Barbara and Chewy were absolutely incredible hosts!! We can't say enough about how thoughtful, generous, kind, and communicative that Barbara was during our trip. We were very anxious about leaving our dog (this was our first time using Rover), and she put us at ease, sent frequent updates (including pictures and videos), and was extremely thorough, dedicated, and friendly, and followed our care instructions extremely seriously. Her dog Chewy is a sweetheart who seems to be great as a co-host :) We absolutely recommend Barbara to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter, and we are so grateful to her for this experience!

If I had to describe Barbara with one word, it would simply be "incredible!" I am often nervous about leaving my pup with others while I'm away, but Barbara was an incredible sitter for my dog, Dallas. She carefully attended to his special medication needs and she made sure to send me regular photo and video updates so I didn't have to worry about my pup's wellbeing while I was overseas for two weeks. Dallas had a lovely time with Barbara and her dog Chewy. I'm so grateful to have found her and would absolutely book with her again in the future. Thanks Barbara!
