I work for the University of Leeds and from home most of the time. I enjoy doggy friends' company and taking them out for walks in the woods around where we live. Can offer walkies before work, during my lunch break and after work depending on the doggy's needs.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a detached house with a fenced back garden where they can play or 'use the facilities'. I can set up a cozy space where my doggy friend can feel safe, comfortable and relaxed. They’re invited to the sofa for cuddles too. I'll make sure there are no hazards like toxic plants, sharp objects or other dangers. I’ll have a routine walk interaction and playtime. Follow instructions from the owner and keep an eye on the pet’s health and behaviour.

Information Ling L. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has special needs and how I can assist. If they bite, please let us know and we’ll be cautious. I’m able to follow instructions and tailor my approaches for your pup. I am a qualified First Aider for humans and can do CPR and basic first aids for dogs.
A typical day
We get up at 6am, work from home. My lunch break is 1 hour, usually between 12:30 to 13:00. If the weather is hot in summer, I'll take dogs out for their longer walks before sun's high and when the sun is lower. During the day, I'll take breaks playing with my doggy friend in the garden, e.g. fetch, tug-a-war, frisbee, or just chill. I sometimes hide treats in different rooms or corners for them to find (if they like this game). Bedtime for us is 9.30pm. My dog guest can stay in their crate under the staircase like Harry Potter, or in their bed in our bedroom, or with me in the guest bedroom if they like or need to.

Loving your dog while you’re away
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Carrie Ling Li. I know how much dogs mean to their people. They’re family and leaving them in someone else’s care can feel like a big thing. My hope is to be the person you can trust to give your dog love, comfort and attentive care while you’re away, so you can relax knowing they are safe, understood and genuinely cared for. I’ve been looking after dogs since 2020 and have experience with rescue dogs and a range of breeds including lurchers, German Shepherds, Cavapoos, Terriers, Labradors and crossbreeds. My husband and I live in a house with a secure fenced garden, and I love taking dogs out for gentle strolls or longer adventures in the nearby woods depending on what suits them best. For me, dog sitting is more than ticking boxes. I enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual, learning their little habits, understanding how they communicate, noticing what makes them feel safe and happy, and building a real bond with them. Whether a dog is energetic and playful, nervous and sensitive, or older and needing a slower pace, I try to meet them where they are. I care for every dog with the same patience, respect and affection I would give my own. I believe dogs give us something precious. They remind us how to love generously, live in the moment, and connect without expecting anything in return. I feel lucky every time an owner trusts me with someone they love so much, and I also learn from responsible owners about how to care for dogs better each time. My goal is simple: when you’re away, I want your dog to feel safe, loved and at home, and for you to feel confident that someone is looking after them with genuine care, not just doing a job. Sometimes it starts as dog sitting and ends with a new friendship, with both dogs and humans. And I think that helps to make the world a little better.
Reviews

Brilliant first stay. Exceeded expectations. Our timid unconfident puppy settled amazingly well and made a new friend
Carrie was wonderful with Hermann. He was clearly very happy to stay with her. I was kept fully informed on a regular basis with pictures and videos. This was particularly reassuring due to the length of time that I was away. i would not hesitate to book her again for another of Hermann's 'vacations'.

I can't recommend Carrie highly enough. She looks after my old dog Teddy and is absolutely wonderful with her. Teddy is getting on in years and needs a bit of extra patience and care, and Carrie gives her exactly that — gentle, attentive, and genuinely fond of her from day one. She sticks to Teddy's routine, keeps on top of her medication, and makes sure she gets the slow, steady walks she's up to rather than pushing her too hard. I get little updates and photos that make it clear she's happy and settled, which gives me huge peace of mind whenever I'm away. You can tell Carrie isn't just doing a job — she genuinely loves the animals she looks after. Teddy clearly adores her, and that says everything. If you've got an older dog (or any dog, really) and you want someone kind, reliable and trustworthy, she's the one.

Ling was so great with Ruby - who is not an easy dog! Thank you so much Ling!
