Information Barbara B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or routines that will help them settle in quickly with us. I am very flexible and happy for you to visit prior to their stay.

A typical day

I have a very active house with a nice big garden. I love playing football and fetch with your dog. Our border collie cross likes a lot of play and exercise, and is particularly good in goal!

Pet care experience

I have grown up with dogs. My 16 year old son is animal mad, and has a years experience volunteering with rescue animals. I have a 10 year old border collie cross (who is convinced he's still a pup and loves other dogs!)

Barbara did a great job of looking after Eddie for us. Excellent communication and a lovely family home where he was really settled and cared for while we were away on holiday. Would definitely recommend to others.

We were very pleased with Max’s stay with Barbara and family. She went out of her way to care for Max and we will definitely be booking with her again.

Barbara and her family took the most amazing care of Gregg while we were away on holiday!! I was so nervous leaving him as this was the first time and he can be a little bit unsettled around new people but I shouldn't have worried at all! Gregg has had the most lovely holiday himself and Barbara kept me updated and at ease throughout! I honestly can't thank you all enough 🥰 xx
