Highlights
Pet care experience
Home boarder with council license
I have taken care of other people dogs for over 26 years now I’ve always had dogs but after last one died over 10 years ago I now look after other peoples. I live in a ground floor purpose built flat with front garden and back garden with dog proof fencing cctv cameras 2 huge lockable entrance/exit gates in garden. I do have a 5 star council license with Newcastle city council and only small dogs are boarded no uneutored dogs bitches don’t have to be spayed but definitely not in season. Your dogs will be extremely well cared for with 3/4 walks a day depending on their physical abilities. I have a huge box of toys numerous dog beds leads dog food etc etc. I’ve been with rover for nearly 3years and met some very well behaved ones and the naughty ones of course (but they always end up being good) the dogs are treated as if they are my own. I have help being my daughter and son who both absolutely love any dog that comes to stay

Ratings and reviews
Our 6 month old Westie stayed with Barbara for 4 days (day care) and was looked after really well. She seemed to really enjoy. Updates Amanda communication from Barbara were excellent.
We were so nervous to be away from our little treasure, but Barbara took such good care of her. Really good communication, and a fabulous service provided, we would have no hesitation whatsoever in booking Barbara again, and we will!
Great communication & Arlo has had a great time for the week. He’s absolutely exhausted.
Very good dog sitter/carer and a lovely person. Thank you.
Barbara was fantastic and Sam had a great time with her. This is the first time we had left our dog with anyone for an extended period of time and I was super nervous but I needn’t have worried. Barbara was very prompt at replying to messages and very knowledgeable, she provided lots of information and reassurance. Sam came back exhausted but so so happy. I would highly recommend Barbara and will certainly keep her in mind for future needs.
Barbara took wonderful care of Max. We highly recommend her services.

Schedule
I’m retired so this is my social life looking after peoples dogs. I very rarely go out so I’m with the dogs 24/7 while they are here. I do have a car so often taken them to various parts of the north east for walks just as a little change for them
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced and locked back garden cctv cameras outside front back and side and cameras just about anywhere I can put one. Inside my home I have babygate on all rooms so I know no little balls of fluff will be escaping out the front door
A typical day
Every day varies from the one before which having furry playmates over. The younger ones love to play with toys (which we have many) but they like you to join in otherwise it’s boring playing by themselves. They enjoy watching me go about my daily routine and can’t wait for me to sit down so they can snuggle up on my lap. We do go for short walks and long walks depending on the ability of my guests. Not many small dogs like the rain and cold but we always manage to miss the downpours and enjoy ourselves sniffing here and there ( the dogs of course) sometime in the afternoon is nap time and everything goes quiet for an hour or so until it all starts again until home time
