Information Barbara I. would like to know about your pet

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.

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.

Pet care experience

I have experience caring for many dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I grew up with dogs and have looked after pets for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s unique routine and needs.

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.

Barbara is AMAZING! I cannot recommend her enough. My dog has stranger danger and struggles to bond and trust, certainly not the easiest to work with - but she liked Barby the moment they met. I could see that Barby and Nacho were amazing hosts and made sure Ruby felt safe and cared for while I was away. She was amazing with communication, super reliable, kind and understanding. I am definitely hoping Barby will walk and host Ruby again soon - thank you, Barby and Nacho!

Barbara was absolutely incredible! She was so attentive and caring to Elsa, making sure she felt safe and super loved while I was away 🩷 Couldn’t recommend someone else better to take care of pets than her!
