About Barbara

Animal lover, I have always had big dogs at home.

I have fostered two cats in my house for two months, funniest cats ever.

I have an apartment and I live alone with my partner in St Kilda, 1 minute walk from a dog park, with a off leash area, so I can have two dogs at home at the same time or 3 if they know each other and they are from the same owner.

Or I can go to their house too.

My partner David is an animal lover too. He always help at house with them.

He has a special feeling with cats, when we have done pet sitting at home, the cats always sleep next to him 🥰🥰🥲

I love cats, in Melbourne I have been a pet sitter for 4 kittens so far, and it has been great, I know their character and I always give them their space.

I have been a foster home in Spain until I adopted two dogs ☺️☺️

I had rescue rabbits and Guinea pigs.

I have been a volunteer in shelters with dogs all my life in Spain and in Canada.

I like to interact with them, give them love, walk and play.

I have been living in Vancouver, Canada for 4 years, and I was doing pet sitting there with always positive experiences 🥰

I'm a 40 years old girl from Spain, now living in Melbourne with an art visa. But i'm social worker, now I want to change and start what doing me happy. I'm working here doing art and painting, I don't smoke, I like walks and hikes, nature life ⛰️

I am very happy among animals, and I will be very happy to take care of your pets 💕

I'm vegan 🥰

I'm pretty responsible with them and with my life.

Barbara was wonderful walking my rescue pup. She was reliable, flexible and caring. I will definitely use Barbara to walk my dog again.

Barbara is an amazing pet sitter!

She took great care of Stanley, sharing regular updates and photos.

Barbara clearly loves animals and we were able to relax knowing that our cat was getting excellent care from a trustworthy dedicated person.

Highly recommended!
