Doggy Gataway! All furry friends welcome!

My wife and I are passionate about all things dogs. We have been with Rover.com now for 6 years amazing years and of course have enjoyed many years of dog ownership.. We live in a house just outside the small village of Old Leake located between Boston and Skegness. The house has a large garden which is dog secure and has plenty of room for dogs to play and stretch their legs. We would love to welcome your precious dogs to our house to stay with us whilst you are away for the weekend or on extended holiday or whatever the case may be. Whilst with us you can rest assured that your beloved pet will be looked after as if they were one of our very own. We realise that going away can be stressful on both dog owners and the dogs themselves. Your dog will be treated with loads of love and affection and we will send you regular updates (photo's & videos) on how your happy pets are doing to give you peace of mind while you are away. We love taking our dogs (Jack Russell cross & Shorkie) on long daily leisurely walks around our region in Lincolnshire and would love to take your dogs along with us.

Brian and Erika looked after our 8 year old Cockapoo at their house while we were away. We had never left Tia overnight so I was a bit nervous. From the first message they sent I knew I had nothing to worry about they seemed very kind and knowledgeable about dogs, they have 2 of their own. At the meet and greet Tia seemed comfortable with them straight away. They have a lovely garden and also some lovely walks nearby which I knew Tia would love. When we dropped her off she was pleased to see Brian and Erica so it was very easy to leave her. Brian sent lots of videos and photos, I could tell she was having a lovely time. We do not go away very often without Tia but I would definitely be happy to leave her with Brian and Erica again.

Brian and Erika are simply the best! Teddy has just had his 12th stay with them, and that alone says it all. The excitement when we pull up and he sees Brian is priceless, we genuinely don’t even get a backward glance! He runs to him like he’s going on his own little holiday. We receive daily photos, videos and lovely updates, which means we can completely relax knowing he’s not just being looked after, but truly loved and cared for. He comes home happy, settled and clearly having had the best time. Even though they’re no longer local to us, we still continue to use Brian and Erika, that’s how much we trust them. It’s such a comfort finding people that you wholeheartedly trust with your fur baby knowing that Teddy is in such safe, caring hands. We can’t recommend Brian and Erika highly enough. Thank you, as always, for taking such wonderful care of the Teddymeister, he can’t wait to see you all again in a few months!! 💙🐾

What can we say! If you're looking for a fantastic dog-sitting couple, then you have come to the right place. We cannot compliment them enough. From the Meet and Greet through to the drop off and collection days. Erika and Brian gave our boy 110% devotion. Our dog enjoyed good long walks, but I understand Brian has shorter walks available for those whose dogs require a gentle wander. We were treated to a daily dose of videos and pictures. These were just what was needed; it helped confirm we had made the right decision as far as homing him whilst away. The Meet and Greet is conducted on a low-key basis, allowing your dog to get a good feel for its possible new surroundings as well as providing Erika and Brian the opportunity to ensure they are happy with the arrangement. They demonstrated a wealth of love and affection to our dog, who, naturally, was very happy to receive it. They were and are keen to ensure our dogs' health and well-being were paramount; they even tried to tempt him to finish off his biscuits with a little tempter! As we stated at the beginning, Erika and Brian are brilliant and cannot be faulted by us in any shape or form. Thank you so much.

Wow! Honestly the first time we have used Erika and Brian and what wonderful, kind and amazing people they are, I instantly knew I could trust them with Monty my Dachshund and he had the best time! He went on the most amazing walks everyday and we loved having the photo and video updates, some of the photos were really good action shots! The communication was fantastic and we were kept up to date with everything! We are definitely booking again! So grateful we have found such wonderful people to look after our boy when we are away!

Schedule

I (Erika) am totally home based and will always be on hand to look after your pooches. My husband Brian works full time but enjoys flexible hours and also loves to get involved in playtime and afternoon walks. If your dogs are ever left unattended it will be for a short while most likely on Sunday and will be left securely along with our two dogs. Generally though, we aim to always have one of us stay with the dogs at all times.
