Pet care experience

Could we be your dogs best friend?

We love looking after dogs and want to help your pet feel at home with me while you’re away doing important human things. Your pet will be part of our family when they are with us. I have common sence, empathy and intuition. I love a cuddle and am a human nurse 😍 I live close to a big green park for walks We love to take dogs with to our activities like going to the pub, the river, paddling pool and for days out. If your pet is up for it of course. We recently took a pet on the miniature railway! I live with my partner who will also be involved in giving your pet love and attention. We have a big house and a lovely enclosed garden for them to enjoy and once we are all worn out they can join us chilling in the sofa If you have a bigger dog than our set criteria we are happy to have them as long as they are well behaved and able to sleep downstairs alone. I am a human nurse so hygiene is big on my agenda so I do lots of cleaning between customers.

Apollo had so much fun with Linnet that he was disappointed to leave! We booked quite last minute for a night of boarding and Linnet made everything super straightforward and problem-free. She and her partner obviously care very much for animals and treat them like one of their own; it was lovely to see the updates as they came through to see what Apollo was getting up to and to see how much fun he was having. Would highly recommend :)

I couldn't be happier to have found Linnet. It is clear that my dog received top notch care - he was all chilled and calm returning home. The area is also really lovely, so I can see my dog has enjoyed his walks. I'd wholeheartedly recommend Linnet for anyone who is looking for home-boarding for their dog.

Linnet and Adam have both been fantastic with Vivaldi, keeping me updated with lots of pictures, and making her feel safe! Definitely recommend them, thanks a lot for looking after my Vivaldi! Kind regards

Thank you so much for looking after my dog. You always kept us updated with photos of how she was doing, which gave us great peace of mind. Seeing how happy and well cared for she was made us feel so reassured while we were away. We could tell she was in great hands, and we’re very grateful for the love and attention you gave her. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Linnet was a great communicator, both before and during our dog’s stay. She listened to his needs and routines and we felt confident he would be very well looked after. He enjoyed playing with other dogs and a trip to the pub during his stay. We would highly recommend Linnet and would be very happy to book her again.

Linnet was, again, fabulous with Bear - he was so excited to see her again which tells you everything about how well she cares for pups in her care! Frequent photo/video updates too. If you want a sitter who will treat your fur baby like their own then look no further :)

Schedule

I’m understanding if different schedules and will fit around theirs if needed. There are quiet spaces available in the house. I do a mixture of work from home and working from an office that’s only a few streets away. And partner does shifts so we can ensure someone is home 24/7. We can do any length and frequency of walk desired and dogs on longer stays will be taken for walks and days further away (Whisby being one of our favourite).

Safety, trust & environment

I have an enclosed back garden and live in a quiet street. There are no other pets here and it’s a big house for them to have their own space and move around when home. The basics of my job as a nurse is making sure basic needs are met like eating, sleeping, weeing, popping and feeling content, well and happy and I want to make sure this happens for your pet to…. So be prepared to answer questions about their pooping routine! I have done the NarpsUK free dog sitting course and am currently undertaking the full course which includes being educated about dog/cat first aid, breeds and healthcare.

A typical day

I love going for a walk myself so happy to take a dog along for company. I live right by Sconce Park and the beautiful Trent river.
