Barby is amazing!! My dog doesn't relax with everyone, but she liked Barby from the moment they met and really adores her. Barby has a true gift with dogs, and mine is so happy for every single pick-up. I know that Barby treats her like a VIP, and she is super reliable and great with communication too. 100% recommend her.

Barbara was so great with my dog Bam Bam! She is super organised and communicative. My dog fell in love with Barbara and her partner straight away and they were so attentive to his needs. Thank you so much!

Barby and Nacho looked after our dachshund Hamish for five nights and we are so lucky we found them, especially on short notice. They are the type of sitters that dog owners dream of for their beloved fur family members. They sent progress pictures, reassuring texts and we never worried for a second. Hamish loved the back garden and I am sure he is looking forward to his next holiday at Barby's house. 10/10 recommend. Thank you!

I cannot recommend Barbara highly enough. From the moment we met her before our trip, she made us feel completely at ease. She welcomed us into her home with open arms, and it was clear straight away that she genuinely loves and cares for animals. Barbara looked after our puppy, Misa, as if she were her own daughter. While we were away attending my cousin’s wedding in Greece, she regularly sent us photos and videos, which meant the world to us and gave us complete peace of mind. Seeing how happy, loved, and well cared for Misa was made it possible for us to fully enjoy our trip. Barbara and her husband are truly wonderful people. Their kindness, warmth, and dedication are second to none. It was obvious that Misa wasn’t just being looked after—she was becoming part of their family. I was so grateful for everything they did that I even gave Barbara my address and told her she is welcome to visit us whenever she is free. That is how much trust and appreciation I have for her. Thank you, Barbara and your husband, from the bottom of my heart. You took such amazing care of Misa, and I will absolutely be using Barbara again in the future. Anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and reliable to care for their pet need look no further. Thank you again for everything.

Schedule

I currently work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. This allows me to easily plan my day around walks, feeding times, playtime, and providing plenty of companionship. My husband also works from home and helps with pet sitting, so your pet will enjoy plenty of attention and company. We also offer weekend and overnight pet sitting. 🐶

Safety, trust & environment

I have a spacious home with a safe garden where pets can play and explore. Every pet is treated like part of the family, with plenty of love, attention, and care

A typical day

A typical day includes walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention and affection. I enjoy keeping pets active and engaged with games, outdoor adventures, and mental stimulation based on their age and energy level. For puppies, I focus on play and reinforcing good habits, while senior dogs receive gentler activities and extra care to keep them comfortable and happy. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and has fun while you’re away.

Before a stay, I’d like to know your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medical conditions or medications. It’s also helpful to know about their personality, behavior around other animals or people, any fears or triggers, and any training cues or house rules they follow.
