Pet care experience
Hello! I'm a Hanwell-based graduate, looking to make more four-legged acquaintances. I adore dogs of all shapes and sizes, have a good knowledge about most popular breeds and their needs - and want to make sure your pet never misses an opportunity for a fun time. I'm a sporty person too - and I can guarantee your dog getting a hearty dose of their daily exercise. I grew up along with my family dog, a stubborn Westie, and got around to care for a friend's Thai Ridgeback a lot. They both required a lot of attention, frequent and energetic walks, play, as well as grooming (bathing too!) and teaching basic commands. Least to say, I wanna make friends with as many dogs in my neighbourhood as possible!
Reviews
Barbara is fantastic with dogs - caring, conscientious, and reliable. We would not hesitate to recommend her.
If I could give more than five stars to Barbara, I would! She was the perfect sitter for our boy Nelson. It was our first time leaving him behind, so we were very nervous of how he would react. Our initial meeting with Barbara already put our mind at ease - she was calm, professional, knowledgeable and clearly very fond of dogs! They got on really well with Nelson from the start. She asked insightful questions, to make sure she could cater to his needs while we were away. She kept us updated with daily messages, photos and videos, so we always knew how things were going and it gave us a tremendous peace of mind to know that Nelson was being looked after by someone so caring, experienced and trustworthy. We are so grateful to Barbara for looking after our boy and making him feel relaxed and loved in our absence. Barbara was a superb fit for us and Nelson, and I could not recommend her highly enough! I would not hesitate trusting our Nelson with Barbara again in the future.
I can’t wait to leave a review for Barbara. She is simply amazing. From the moment I contacted the sitter to the end of her stay with Sakura. She asked the necessary questions that showed how much she would care for your dog. Bear in mind my dog is an American Akita- 38Kg (highly strong, playful, energetic). She went above and beyond. She did activities with Sakura as she deemed necessary and safe. If only, Sakura can keep her but I’m sure have a special spot in her heart for Barbara. Alternately, our house was left in a very pristine and safe condition. To top it all of, she made a professionally written handover to us like how many time she wee and poo. She constantly updated us with pictures and messages. She is a ‘non non sense professional sitter’ Couldn’t praise her enough. To Barbara, please know we are all so grateful to go back home seeing our baby safe,l and happy. Thank you thank you so much. All the very best. Please come back. ???
Thanks Barbara! Cosmo seemed to have a great time - we’ll look to book again soon
