❤️ Dog loving couple

I was lucky to have grown up with dogs since i was 3 years old. Then moved to a farm (back home in Portugal) where we now have 15 amazing portuguese water dogs, young and old. I miss them a lot so i decided to try taking care of some other doggies and kitties and spread some pet love :) I live with my partner so there will be 2 walk buddies! My norwegian is still beginner so english would be the preferred language for me at this time, thanks :)

Mariko looked to have a great time with Barbara. She was happy when she left and happy when she returned.

Barbara took well care of Puré, took him on fine walks and gave great updates on a regular basis. She also was kind enough to both pick him up and deliver him! Very happy and will definitely recommend, as well as approach again for next time :)

A wonderful sitter! Barbara was kind, gentle, and took great care of Nova. She was also very accommodating when I had to change the drop off time. Nova came home so happy and relaxed - I can highly recommend Barbara and would happily book with her again!

Barbara was fantastic! Very calm and kind energy, and super reliable. She was very attentive to Tio and his needs. They seemed to have a fun and successful overnight together.

Barbara knew how to take care of my anxiouz dog. She lives in a safe and pretty neighborhood that has parks for dogs to walk and play around. She was very fast at responding messages and updated me with pictures and videos throughout the day 🩷

Bárbara took care of our beloved Slash when we visited Oslo. She is a lovely girl and has a positive and calming energy. Slash was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. Barbara was always quick to respond, kept us updated and was super nice all around.
