Information Barbara AKA Bobbie B. would like to know about your pet

We will discuss most things at our meet and greet session, but these are some of the things I will need to know: Would you like me to walk your dog on a lead, or would you prefer me to walk your dog off the lead when it is safe to do so? Does your dog have any special behaviours that I should know about? Is your dog friendly with other dogs? Is your dog friendly with people? Does your dog have any dietary requirements? Does your dog need any special sleeping arrangements?

A typical day

I will walk your furry friend in the countryside or in the town. I will make sure he or she gets plenty of exercise and fun during our walks. You pet will receive lots of love, cuddles and play time when he or she boards in my home. They will feel totally safe and cared for.

Pet care experience

Hi!! I’m Bobbie! and I would love to walk your furry friend!! My husband, Gary, is also vetted, insured and licensed through Rover. He is indeed a great help and is happy to do the walking when I’m not available. Both of us love welcoming dogs into our home for boarding; in fact, we even offer a discount for stays longer than 6 nights! 🥰 Gary and I share a true passion for dogs and have been lucky enough to own and/or care for various breeds throughout our lives, both pedigree and mixed breeds. Together we have been the very proud owners of 2 dogs. Baxter was a 10 year old Irish Terrier, who sadly lost his battle with cancer and passed away. We adopted Baxter from a wonderful family in 2023. He was an extremely loving and friendly boy and we were lucky to have been able share our home with him for 2 years. Before this we homed a brood bitch Labrador for the Guide Dogs called Nan. We were blessed to have Nan as part of our family for 14 years. As a child, my first family dog was a mix of Cocker Spaniel and Chihuahua 🥰. She was quite a character! Snow, a white Spitz, and Schatzi, a black Pomeranian, joined my family when I was a bit older. Schatzi actually came to live with me when I was old enough to have my own place. When Schatzi sadly passed away, I got a rescue dog called Heidi, who we believe was a mix of Labrador and Whippet. Due to her rough start in life, Heidi needed a lot of training in the beginning, which I was able to do myself. Heidi was VERY fast, but thankfully after training, she settled down to be very loyal and obedient. Gary and I live in a rural location and very much enjoy our walks in the local countryside. We are in the position where we are able to give our love and attention to more furry friends. We would be more than happy to share our warmth and experience by walking and looking after that very special member of your family.

Bobbie and Gary took really good care of Isla, I know that she is very well looked after when she stays with them. They provided us with lots of photos and updates whilst she was with them. I would 100% recommend them and will definitely ask them to care for Isla again 🥰

We honestly couldn’t recommend Bobbie and Gary enough. We went away for a full week and genuinely didn’t have to worry once, which says everything. Frankie has stayed with them quite a few times now, mostly for overnight stays, and she’s always so excited and happy to see them! It’s clear how much they both genuinely care for the dogs they look after, and we always know Frankie is being treated like part of the family. We get complete peace of mind whenever she stays there, and that’s priceless when you’re away from your dog. Thank you both again!

Oscar enjoyed an extended stay with Bobbie and had the most wonderful time. I am sure he didn't miss us at all! Bobbie is fantastic with Oscar and he always comes home very happy, in great condition and very relaxed. Highly recommend.
