Hi ,

My name is Barb
and I am Semi Retired, I live on the edge of Winfrith Heath nature reserve in Dorset which I can step out of my door and walk for miles. 
I have been an animal lover all of my life and love to enjoy the outdoors with them 
I have had the pleasure of having many dogs and cats in my adult life.
My German Shepherd "Bruno" who I trained from a puppy, we did Obedience and Agility training together.
My Labrador "Willow" from a puppy
My Jack Russell "Jack" from a puppy
My Rescue Rough Coated Jack Russell "Archie" (I'm still grieving the loss of him Xmas 2023 to cancer ) we did Canicross together and even won a medal 
I've had lots of cats all of my life, 5 all at once at one stage " Just can't say No" 
I don't have any cats at present.
I also look after my neighbours dogs  TJ a Shitzu and Suki who is a medium size Rescue Crossbreed.
I have lots of experience of many breeds of dogs as I was a member of Frome Dog Training Club when I lived in Somerset for many years and competed in Obedience dog shows, also Wessex Canicross Club both of which I enjoyed very much.
I have a fully secure fenced in garden and where I live is traffic free and very peaceful and quiet.
I am 10 minutes by car to Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door with lovely walks to enjoy.
I love walking and enjoying the sea and countryside in all winds and weathers .
I'm happy to come to your home and sit your "Furries" or at my home, whichever is better for you and your pets. 
Depending on distance and length of stay I can collect and return.
***Update as of 25/11/2024 ***
Due to the sad passing of a very close friend I now have an adorable little Shitzu "TJ" living me, I made a promise to my dear friend that I would give him a loving home. He is a very friendly little dog who gets on really well with other dogs and loves people.
I hope this has given a little insight into "Me" but if you have any worries or need anymore information please feel free to ask, as I know just how precious our pets are and we always want them to be happy, safe and secure when we have to trust them to someone else.
