Lincolnshire Pet Care ❤️🐶

Pet care experience

Care includes: 1-3 walks per day, play, dog mug shots or videos (sent daily), plenty of cuddles and private attention, feeding, showering, treat spoilage (if allowed), and whatever else they may need. Fussy pets are welcome! I've been using Rover for the past year now, and have taken care of pets of many different sizes, breeds and characters. I don't have any of my own pets right now. Previous experience: I learned to take care of animals from a young age, my first pets were guinea pigs (Butternut and Rambo). A while back, I travelled around Southeast Asia for 2.5 years and spent a lot of time taking care of cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, goats, fish and rabbits. One place had 19 rescue cats, from newborn to senior ages. During the end of my stay, we also rescued 3 more newborn kittens tied up in bin bags. It's experiences like this that make me really want to do everything I can to make sure animals are well looked after, and this is why I like representing Rover. In another place, I took care of 7 adult dogs (thai ridgebacks and labradors), which was quite intense as they squabbled a lot, but it was quite easily sorted with play time, separating feeding areas, and long walks. I have experience with looking after rescue dogs, dogs with anxious attachments/separation anxiety, and blind dogs. I'm happy to take dogs with oral medications or eye drops. I have pet sitting course certifications in dog behaviour and health and safety from novabright. * I'm currently unable to do boarding, I can only do housesitting for the foreseeable future *

We have just returned from 5 days away leaving our senior dog and 2 rabbits under Veronica’s care. We received photos and videos every evening showing us how much fun the pets had been having during the day. They clearly received a lot of attention and playtime and house was exactly the way we left it on our return. Thank you so much Veronica, we will definitely be having you back to look after the pack again in the future!

We had a happy dog when we got home, as we always do when Veronica looks after him!

Veronica did a last minute house sit for our two dogs while we were on holiday. Our dogs can be quite hyper active and bounce off each other's energy a lot, which can be overwhelming for some people, but Veronica was amazing with them throughout the whole stay. She took them on lots of walks, gave them lots of fuss and play, and it's obvious they really enjoyed her company. We got videos and photos throughout the stay which eased my mind as we hadn't left them both together with anyone before, so we weren't sure how they'd behave or react. She made sure the house was super clean and tidy when we came back, which was great as we got back very late and it was one less thing to worry about doing! Overall an amazing experience and we'd be more than happy for her to look after our dogs again any time. ☺️

Safety, trust & environment

For housesitting, I don't mind looking after more than one pet at a time, as they're already familiar with each other and the environment. However, I only take one dog at a time for boarding/daycare, this is for the dog's safety and for myself, as I don't know how they will react to unfamiliar dogs from different places. I do not want to become like a kennel owner, I want to give a pet the care and attention they deserve. This is why I might be fully booked for a while. With 1st time bookings, we'll organise a meet up in person to talk about anything else.

What to expect: At the moment I have another job, so ideally I'd take care of your dog while I'm not on shift, but if your dog is ok with me being away for work, then we can work around that. I don't mind smaller dogs sleeping on my bed with me if they sleep well. Otherwise, I let pets sleep beside the bed or downstairs with their own bed/blankets, although most pets prefer my sofa, which I am completely fine with if they're well trained. I wouldn't leave them for more than a few hours (depending on the dog and how well they can stay by themselves). Please do let me know if your dog is anxious so I can prepare properly. I'm introverted so my household is calm and quiet, and the area I live in is also quiet.
