Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs deserve holidays too!
I offer a cosy, country home-from-home for dogs in beautiful rural Lincolnshire, where your dog becomes part of the family rather than simply staying somewhere. I am retired so all of my time can be devoted to looking after your dogs and making sure you get plenty of pictures and videos so that you can rest assured they are having just as good a holiday as you! 🏡 A real home-from-home Dogs stay in my family home and enjoy plenty of love, company and attention throughout their stay. For dogs who prefer a little peace and quiet, we also have the option of a separate bedroom where they can retreat and relax in their own space. 🐾 Six acres of secure space Every day includes supervised play and exercise in our fantastic six-acre secure paddock, giving dogs plenty of room to run, sniff, explore and enjoy themselves safely. ❤️ Individual care and attention. I understand that every dog is different. Some love being in the middle of everything, while others need a little more downtime. I take the time to get to know each dog and make their stay as relaxed, happy and enjoyable as possible. My aim is simple: for your dog to have a wonderful holiday of their own while you can relax knowing they’re safe, cared for and having fun. If you’re looking for more than traditional kennels and want a genuine home-from-home experience in the Lincolnshire countryside, I’d love to welcome your dog into my home. 🐾
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I can highly recommend Kate as a pet sitter. I've known her for 30 years and completely trust her. She is obsessed with all animals and would look after your pets as if they were her own. Our 3 dogs, 2 labs and a beagle, have stayed with Kate on a number of occasions whilst we have gone away. It's so nice to be on holiday and not to worry. The dogs all have the best time - they have their own holiday. There is plenty of fully enclosed land for the dogs to run around so they are secure. This was perfect for our beagle who can't usually be off the lead. She loved it so much. The house is huge and the dogs have access to all areas. There are plenty of rooms where they can go off to if they want some time alone to chill. Kate keeps me updated with lots of photos and I can tell that they all love being there. The perfect solution to your pet sitting needs.
Kate is fantastic with dogs and has a great amount of experience. She is very caring and treats every dog as if it were her own. The surroundings are lovely and secure, giving complete peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their dog.
Kate’s knowledge and experience with dogs is second to none. She has hands on experience with dogs of all breeds , sizes and temperaments. Kate has helped care for my own dogs in particular my rescue boy who can be a little more challenging who needs extra patience and understanding. She treats them exactly as if they were her own, giving them the love and attention while making them feel safe and secure. She also has lovely surroundings that our perfect for dogs, with plenty of space for them to feel relaxed.

Schedule
I am retired so spend all day at home! Every day is centred around making your dog feel happy, settled and part of the family. I keep things homely, relaxed and personal, rather than following a one-size-fits-all routine. My priority is that every dog feels safe, loved and completely at home while they’re staying with me. ❤️

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and happiness is my top priority. My home is a calm, cosy country home where dogs can relax, feel secure and enjoy plenty of space. I have two friendly dogs of my own, who are an important part of my family. They can help new arrivals settle in, feel comfortable and quickly discover that they’re staying somewhere that feels like home. ❤️ Dogs are always carefully supervised, particularly when enjoying our six-acre secure paddock, and I take the time to understand each dog’s individual personality, needs and routine. For dogs who need a little extra space or quiet time, I also have the option of a separate bedrooms, so they always have somewhere peaceful to retreat to. It’s all about creating a safe, relaxed and loving environment where your dog can enjoy their stay and you can have complete peace of mind. 🐶🏡

A typical day
A typical day with me and my girls 🐾 I believe dogs deserve a holiday too! Their days are relaxed, fun and full of the things dogs love — with plenty of time to play, explore, snooze and enjoy being part of the family. 🌅 Morning The day starts with a relaxed wake-up, breakfast and plenty of cuddles. Once everyone is ready, we head out to our six-acre secure paddock for supervised exercise, sniffing, exploring and play. 🐶 Play & explore There’s plenty of space to run, investigate and have fun. Dogs can enjoy time together where appropriate, while we always take individual personalities, confidence and energy levels into account. 🏡 Chill time After all that excitement, it’s time to come home for some well-earned rest. Dogs can relax with us in the house, enjoy cuddles and companionship, or retreat to their own bedroom if they prefer some quiet time. 🌳 More fun & fresh air Depending on the individual dog, there’ll be more opportunities throughout the day for supervised outdoor time, play and exploring. I don’t believe every dog needs to be busy all day — learning to relax is part of a great holiday too! 🌙 Evening Dinner, cuddles and a peaceful evening at home before settling down for a cosy night’s sleep. Every dog is different, so we don’t follow a rigid one-size-fits-all routine. I get to know each dog and adapt their day around their age, personality, energy levels and usual routine. The result? A happy, relaxed dog who has had their very own holiday in the Lincolnshire countryside. ❤️🐾
