Council licensed. Ensure that your sitter is !

Pet care experience

Licence Number 119691 Issued by Peterborough City Council. Please ensure any dog boarder or doggy daycare provider you use is licensed by the local Council. If they don’t display a license number, they haven’t got one !!! Any insurance they may hold (including any that Rover give) will be invalidated….as any insurance that you have. Don’t take the chance of something happening to your furbaby ! Ask to see the license…..to make sure. At Dixons dog sitters, we are BIG softies for all animals....but especially for dogs. We have owned and looked after dogs of our own now, for over 40 years and the profile photo shows our pup...5 year old Polly. I have full public liability insurance. I also hold a pet first aid certificate and a diploma in animal care. Our dog, Polly is such a fun little girl, who loves to play. Polly can sometimes be bossy with younger dogs, but once settled down they quickly form very close friendship bonds. She shares her toys, her home, her owners…and even her food with her new doggy friends. I am semi retired and work from home, so is available 24/7 to pamper and protect your fur baby. Paul (my Husband) works nights, so is up and around from lunchtime every day. They will DEFINITELY get spoiled when they holiday with Aunty Lynn and Uncle Paul ! My Husband and I have been caring for other peoples dogs for a while now, and can honestly say, it brings us nothing but joy. Please take a look at some of the reviews left by owners. Dixons dog sitters holds £2million public liability insurance and we will take care of your fur baby, as well as we take care of our own. We never take dogs out in the heat of the day, or when it is raining heavily and won't let them off lead unless told that they can be trusted to not run away. We have a large secure garden with shaded areas to play in. We allow all dogs the full run of the house.....but have a barrier to put at the bottom of the stairs, to keep them safe when we aren't downstairs. You can go away, knowing that they will be loved.....not just cared for. We always send lots of updates and photos to reassure owners. I am licensed to board 5 dogs at a time, so your dog needs to be well socialised and toilet trained. If you require exclusivity, then that can be accomodated. This will mean that there will be no other dogs boarded at the same time as yours is (apart from our own) Just let us know what you require....as we are extremely flexible All dogs are walked at least once a day....for a very long walk. All dogs are let out into our large secured garden to play or go to the toilet every hour or so. In the Summer months, the back door is left open, so they can come and go as they please. Their last toilet break is usually around midnight. Your furbaby will become part of our family whilst you are away. There are no favourites in this household, and no forbidden areas. Everyone is treated the same. If Polly goes for a walk, so does your dog. If Polly gets a treat, so does your dog. Please read my testimonials.

Lynn and her husband were so sweet and loving to my pups. They were very helpful, and accommodating, could not have been better.

Information Lynn D. would like to know about your pet

I need to know their dietary requirements and any medication they are taking. I am used to caring for senior dogs, as both of my last dogs had dietary requirements and medication to take. My last dog lived until she was 16.5 years old, with proper and care. Please bring along their bed, toys and bowls as well as food and treats. Exclusivity can be provided.

A typical day

Polly loves to interact with other dogs. She is not territorial or possessive about her toys etc. In fact, quite the opposite. She will fetch one of her toys and drop it at her new friends feet to entice them to come and play ! We love to go out into the nearby countryside for long walks or to the local park for games of catch the ball or chase. They also have a large secure garden to play around in.
