I have known Barbara for over 30 years. She has been a loyal and supportive friend. I have known her to be focused and able to achieve any goal she sets. She has run her own business and has an eye for detail and appreciates the beauty around her. She has a caring nature and this is reflected in the care of her own pets. Barbara is very respectful of people and their property and would be most suitable as a house sitter. I wish her all the best.
