About Barbara

Hi! I'm Barbara and I'm a full time dog lover. Coming from a household where all our pets were considered part of the family, I've had dogs since I was a child and have tons of experience minding them. I'm new to this app but not new to dog sitting. I have experience with dog sitting for families and fostering rescues as well. This has given me a chance to bond with different types of dogs, characters and breeds. I work from home full time so you can expect your fur baby to have company almost 24/7, with the occasional run to the supermarket or similar. I'll adapt to your schedule and the dog's usual routine. On a regular basis if no previous routine is set, I'll walk the dog 3 times a day: morning, noon and a longer walk on the evening. On weekends, I regularly like to take longer walks, go to parks and spend more time outside. I won't let your dog off leash ever when we are outside, even if we sit down on a park. Dogs are allowed on the bed and sofa unless owner requests otherwise. I currently don't have any pets and I’ll only take one booking at a time, so you can be sure your dog/dogs will be the only one(s) in my house during their stay.

Barbara is a lovely person. From the beginning dealing with Barbara was straightforward. it was very easy to make the arrangements. Barbara is a real dog lover. I was sent regular photos and videos twice daily and Eddie was very much at home with Barbara. Barbara provided him with extra toys and she worked out Eddie's favourite tickle spots. This was my first time using Gudog and I wasn't sure how I would feel with Eddie with someone he didn't know or that I didn't know. I really needn't have worried. I was able to relax and enjoy my holiday as Eddie was so enjoying his.

Barbara is a natural with dogs and took amazing care of Monty. He was very happy and relaxed with her. I was totally at ease about him while away. Barbara sent lots of photos and videos which was great to have. I would not hesitate to leave Monty with Barbara again.

I can't even begin to explain how absolutely amazing Barbara and her partner are. We have one dog who absolutely loves everyone she meets and another who can be stand offish and a bit barky towards people, mainly men. Barbara didn't even blink an eye when Gatsby had started to bark and do his under his breath growls at her and her partner which I really appreciated as he's not a bad, scary dog. He's just nervous. Gatsby and Daisy absolutely loved their time with Barbara and we got plenty of photos, the only time I've seen Gatsby so relaxed is in our own home. They got plenty of walks and snuggles as well as some carrot. Thanks again so, so much guys and I hope the next time we're in Dublin, we can bring the two back to you both ❤️❤️❤️
