Pet care experience
Your dog’s cozy second home.
I have a hands-on background with dogs combined with a professional veterinary degree (graduated in Brazil), which gives me both practical care skills and a strong understanding of animal health and behaviour.

Ratings and reviews
Barbara was great. Needed someone to watch my puppy while I had to go out of town. She sent regular updates and photos and took great care of her. Would recommend and will use again. Thanks!
Barbara is like Super Nanny for dogs! My pup really thrived under her care.
Barbara provided a loving home for our pup while we were away. She was responsive, communicative, and took excellent care of our girl. This freed us up to enjoy our time away knowing she was in such good care. We will be booking Barbara every time we need care in the future! Thank you again Barbara!
My dog was well taken care of in Barbara's care!
Lucky to have Barbara and her dogs are so sweet

Schedule
Because I work from home, I’m able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day keeping a close eye on them, maintaining their routines, and making sure they feel safe, engaged, and truly cared for, not just supervised.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, clean, and safe environment where they’re treated like family. I follow their routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions. I also have two friendly dogs who help create a social and relaxed atmosphere.
Pets
A typical day
I love taking walks and usually go out once or twice a day. I’m very patient and let dogs explore at their own pace, giving them plenty of time to sniff and enjoy their surroundings. I also enjoy working with pets on basic training and can try to teach them a trick or two during their stay. I provide interactive toys to keep them mentally stimulated and entertained. When appropriate and with the owner’s permission, I also like taking dogs to off-leash parks so they can run, play, and burn off some energy in a safe environment.
