Highlights
Pet care experience
While with me, your dog will be one of the family
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!)
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
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
Barbara did a great job looking after Basil. Really good communication when making the booking and provided updates during his stay. Would recommend and will use Barbara again.
We couldn’t be more grateful to Barbara (and her lovely dog Pickles!) for taking such wonderful care of our dog, Beau. From the moment we met, it was clear Barbara is a true dog lover—kind, attentive, and completely trustworthy. Beau settled in so quickly and clearly had an amazing time, especially with Pickles as her new playmate! We received regular updates and photos that put our minds at ease and showed just how happy and relaxed she was. Thank you, Barbara and Pickles, for treating Beau like one of your own—we wouldn’t hesitate to leave her with you again!
Barbara and family took great care of Penny

Schedule
I work part time, based at home. I give an hour walks in the mornings and evenings in Bestwood Country Park, and we regularly go on longer family walks at weekends.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
During the day, whilst at home, I keep the patio doors open so that your dog can come and go into the secured garden. At night, I have a stair gate and can be flexible to the needs of your dog - giving them their own space or letting them sleep with our dog.
Pets
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!
