Pet Boarding Bourne

About: I have always had a strong love for animals, especially dogs, as I grew up surrounded by lots of different pets. Being around animals from a young age has helped me develop a natural understanding of how to care for them, be patient with them, and make sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable. My experience as a dog sitter is something I really enjoy because I love spending time with dogs and getting to know their individual personalities and needs. I understand the importance of giving them plenty of attention, exercise, fresh air and companionship while their owners are away. One of my favourite parts of dog sitting is taking dogs out for walks. I enjoy giving them the opportunity to explore, exercise and have fun, while also benefiting from being outdoors myself. Going for regular walks with a dog helps me stay active and supports my own health and wellbeing, making it something that I find both enjoyable and rewarding. Overall, looking after dogs is something I am passionate about. Growing up with pets, combined with my experience caring for animals, has taught me to be responsible, caring and attentive. I would always treat someone else's dog with the same care and respect that I would give to my own pets. Working from home allows me to provide dogs with the attention, care and companionship they need throughout the day. Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to take regular breaks to feed them, let them outside, give them attention and take them out for walks. Being at home also means dogs are not left alone for long periods of time, which can help them feel more comfortable and settled. I can easily fit walks and playtime around my working schedule while still making sure my work commitments are met. I really enjoy being around dogs while I work, and I believe my home-based routine is ideal for dog sitting. It allows me to give each dog plenty of care and attention while providing a safe, calm and loving environment for them. Although my garden is on the smaller side, it is fully fenced and provides a safe and secure space for dogs to have regular toilet breaks and get some fresh air throughout the day. I understand that the garden is not intended to replace proper walks and exercise, but it is a convenient and secure space for quick toilet breaks whenever needed. I also live next to a beautiful bank and walking area, which is perfect for giving dogs plenty of exercise and outdoor stimulation. I regularly take my family’s dog there for walks and really enjoy spending time outdoors with him. The area provides a lovely environment for dogs to explore, get some exercise and enjoy their surroundings. Having both a secure garden and such a beautiful walking area nearby means I can provide dogs with regular toilet breaks, exercise and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.

“Tanya has been brilliant from the beginning. Has reassured me and gave me confidence that I can leave my Teddy with herself and lovely family. Teddy has very bad anxiety with being left and as soon as I spoke to Tanya I knew she would be brilliant with him. She’s loved and cared for ted like her own and he’s been so settled happy and content. She’s sent regular pictures and videos. Would 100% recommend Tanya 💞”

Paige S.

“A lovely young couple who came to our rescue after we were let down by family at the last minute. We contacted them that morning, and they welcomed Evie into their home just a few hours later. They gave us frequent updates and photos, took our very energetic Australian Shepherd on lots of long walks, and stuck closely to her routine. When we collected her, they gave us a detailed rundown of her stay and even gave us some candles to thank us for choosing them! They seemed genuinely delighted to have Evie and made her feel like part of their family, rather than simply treating dog sitting as a business. We’d happily book with them again!”

Loti B.

“Wow what an amazing time our pup had with Heather and her lovely family, from beginning to end, the communication was brilliant. Our Dog had the most wonderful time with his new friends, from trips out to treats and cuddles in their welcoming home from home, we felt Archie was not only being cared for while we were away but genuinely loved , thank you once again to Heather and her family xxx”

Eileen C.

“Kayleigh was fantastic with Inky. Inky is an older dog and so needs a little extra care, which she clearly gave to him. He came back very happy from his stay and loved spending time with Kayleigh. Her communication was great and she was brilliant value for money. Would definitely recommend and will use Kayleigh again!”

Benjamin D.

“Sarah was fantastic. She was welcoming and put me straight at ease leaving our kitten with her. Sarah sent lots of photos and our cat was obviously very relaxed and having a lovely time. I would definitely recommend Sarah as a pet sitter.”

About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including working in a home boarding environment. I now offer drop-in visits and dog walking, providing reliable, calm and attentive care for pets in their own home or on their regular walks. I have experience with rescue dogs, young puppies, and more nervous or reactive animals, and I always adapt my approach to suit each pet’s needs. I’m trusted by friends, family, and clients to feed, walk, check in, and spend quality time with their pets, making sure they feel safe, settled, and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important consistency is for both cats and dogs, so I aim to keep timings regular to help them feel settled and comfortable while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I take a calm, respectful, and reliable approach to make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I carefully follow all instructions, including feeding, walking, medication if needed, and maintaining routines. I have experience with both confident and more nervous or reactive animals, and I always adapt my approach to suit each pet. I ensure your home is left secure after every visit, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

“The meet and greet before Billy’s stay was really appreciated and put my mind to rest knowing he would be in safe kind hands. Billy has separation issues and does get anxious but Scott was aware and managed this well whilst he was with him. Great to receive status and photo updated from Scott whilst Billy was with him 🤗”

Andrea P.

“Ralph had a lovely time with Lisa family, he got on really well with Maggie! Lisa was really good to send photos and messages to keep us updated throughout his stay which make you feel less stressed about your doggy away days ! I would highly recommend using Lisa dog caring service! We’ll definitely be booking again !”

“I’m sure if our dog Miro could talk he’d say how much he enjoyed another lovely stay with Linda and Craig. He comes back really relaxed and I’d recommend Linda always as she’s so tuned into the needs of Miro.”

Jennie R.

George T.

“We really highly recommend Kane. First time for our 3 year old Whippet to be away from us and all the worry was for nothing. She was there with my older dog and was home from home for them. Great up dates and pictures. Both dogs well cared for and happy. Thank you so much and will definitely use again”

Sarah J.

“It was a pleasure to meet with Laura and Jack enjoyed his short stay in her lovely home. Laura keep us updated with pictures of Jack which was reassuring. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up arrangements which help us tremendously with our arrangements. I would have hesitation in recommending Laura and would be pleased for her to look after Jack again.”
