Pet care experience

Home from home care for your beloved dog

I can't remember a time I didn't have a dog. Will be part of the family with us. Each dog has a different character and needs so would adapt accordingly. Longer or shorter walks, lots of fuss and ensuring they are happy in our home.

Holly came back home nice and worn out and we were given some great advice on on doggie products. Thanks for looking after her so well.

Just an over night stay for doggo this time but good for him to meet up with some old and new friends at Linda’s house. Next stay already booked, thanks Linda and Barney.

Only just got around to doing this. We had a fabulous holiday and were able to relax knowing that our boy was in safe hands with Linda (and having great fun with Barney!). Summer stay booked up :-)

We had a wonderful experience with this dog sitter and couldn’t be happier with the service. Our dog was clearly very well looked after, and it gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We received regular updates and photos, which made us feel reassured and connected the whole time.

Doggy Day Care • Apr 05, 2026

Linda was amazing! I had to find emergency cover for my Beagle, Watson, who can be a bit of a handful with his intelligence, but Linda and her dog, Barney, welcomed Watson so warmly and he was knackered when he came home each day after being taken for multiple walks. Linda was even accommodating to Watson being able to open doors and being an escapologist, ensuring Watson was top priority. Couldn’t have been more grateful. Highly Recommended!

Our boy is treated like one of the family when staying with Linda. We know that he always has a great time playing with Barney so never have any worries leaving him. In fact, he is back again this week for another stay.

Schedule

I work from home so your dog wouldn't be left alone and have at least 2 walks a day depending on how much is required. Usually walk first thing in the morning and another around 4pm. Safe garden always available when required for toilet.

Pets

A typical day

I let them out in the garden for morning toilet time (often get a dog biscuit when they come back in the house), then once I've had a drink we set off for a 45 minute walk down the local woods, this can be on or off the lead. When we return it is breakfast time and then sleep time. The back door is always open for any toilet needs. We have another walk around 5pm down the woods or down the Recreation Ground on or off the lead and back home for dinner and more play time. Bed time when we do around 10pm, letting them in the garden first and usually a biscuit
