Calm, patient, tuned-in care for dogs, cats and birds.

Some people call Barbara “Dr Doolittle” - she talks to animals, reads their cues, and reassures their humans. If you’ve got fur or feathers (or both), Barbara settles the whole flock/pack with routine, warmth and gentle confidence.

What’s included (standard)?

  • Overnight stay in your home (rate per night)
  • Routine care: feeding, fresh water, litter refresh, let-outs & walkies as agreed
  • Bird-savvy support: safe handling (“step-up”), fresh chop/seed, foraging/enrichment, tidy perches & papers
  • Medication given exactly as directed
  • Enrichment & comfort: play, cuddles, quiet time for shy/senior/rescue pets
  • Home care basics: lights/alarms, bins, post, plant watering, door/window checks
  • Daily updates: photos/video + thoughtful notes so you feel the calm back home

Why book Barbara?

  • Natural, intuitive connection with animals — that “whisperer” presence
  • Years of hands-on experience across dogs, cats and parrots/small birds
  • Extra-patient with sensitive rescues and seniors
  • Crystal-clear communication with owners who love their fur- & feather-babies

Perfect for

Multi-species homes, anxious or routine-bound pets, and families who want a sitter who truly gets animal emotions.

Optional add-ons

  • Extra daytime hours / extended presence
  • Longer adventure walks
  • Bath & brush (dogs), deeper cage clean (birds)
  • Vet run / food top-ups by arrangement

Good to know

A Meet-&-Greet is required before first bookings. Please share care notes, vet details, emergency contacts, and any quirks (diet, doors, alarms). Holiday/peak surcharges may apply.

Book “The Overnight Whisper” with Barbara and come home to a peaceful house, relaxed pets, and happy feathers.
