About Barbara

Hi, I am Babs! I grew up around animals.. I adopted my pup Tillie 7 years ago from the shelter and had to leave her with my family when moving to Australia (hardest thing ever).
We had both, dogs and cats (and hamsters, fish, tuerles etc) and absolutely adore them all.
When adopting a dog with anxiety and lots of fears, I learned a lot about dog behaviour and body language while working with specialized trainers (something I didn't have to do with our family lab who was happy as long as there were treats ;)). I also volunteered at a shelter in Bulgaria and have a lot if experience with different dog personalities (or quirks). I do not mind bigger dogs at all. 

I feel comfortable with nervous dogs, that might need some extra patience or get anxious in certain situations. I can handle a reactive dog, us humans don't like every single other being either so it's okay for dogs to have preferences too.
The well-being of the animal will always be my priority. 

I work from home on a casual basis which means I am very flexible and I would not have to leave your pet on its own. Other than that I do not think they should be left alone for more than 3-4hours (max 6h) in daily life and specially not when I am looking after them.
We have a great big park down the road with lots of potential new dog-friends. It's a nice route for walk anywhere from 20-75mins and can always be extended.

We have a fenced outdoor porch - with a babygate so the dog could not walk down the steps (if required). We live on a back lane so close to no traffic. If a pup stayed over we'd like to sleep it in its own bed (or the couch) in the living room right next to our bedroom (or in our bedroom). In case of meds needed, I feel confident of being able to manage that (and usually every owner has their tricks that get the job done - so happy to follow those 😊).

If I can help a family/household out with taking care of their most precious fur baby (or babies) I'd be more than happy to finally get some cuddles again! Out for a walk and getting cozy on the couch sounds like pertectly well spent time to me!
