“Amazing people. It was evident Poochie absolutely loved it with Christy. In fact I think she wanted to stay a little longer!! We got frequent updates and pictures of Poochie, and we got the sense that Poochie was welcomed and treat like she was in her own home away from home. She got all the walks, treats and cuddles she needed. If we ever need Pooch boarded again, we would definitely go to Christy and her boyfriend!! Thank you for taking such good care of our Poochie 😊”
“Barney has stayed with Alastrina several times now, and as always, her service is absolutely fantastic. I can’t recommend her highly enough as a dog sitter—she truly goes above and beyond!”
“Caroline and Andrew did a great job caring for Luca for the week he stayed with them in August. He had a lovely time and we wouldn't hesitate in recommending Caroline for any future dog sitting requirements.”
“Nina had a wonderful time with Jessica and Jonah. She was perfectly looked after and settled in right away. They kept us up to date with some fun pictures during our time away which made us feel relaxed and happy Nina was in safe hands.”
“Joseph and Helen had a met and greet with Stan (my elderly Boxer) before they cared for him. He’s usually a little nervous of people he doesn’t know but went to them straight away with no anxiety, which tells me a lot about someone. Joe kept in communication before hand ensuring he knew everything he needed to know about Stan and any foibles he had. While I was away I was sent a photo and message to say how well he was settling. When I hit back from my trip I was met by a very relaxed and chilled dog who had obviously had a good time.’ I would certainly use Joseph and Helen again and can’t recommend them enough.😃”
“Emma looked after our little Bonnie for the 2 weeks we were away in Greece, we loved receiving daily updates & photos which gave us so much reassurance & made us smile every day we were away. Bonnie loved spending time with Emma's 2 dogs, Chip & Bobby, going on regular walks with them which was so lovely for her, she had so much fun with them. Seeing Bonnie so happy & content meant the world to us. Emma treated Bonnie like one of her own, giving her so much love, care & attention. She was happy, settled & clearly very well looked after. It's obvious how much Emma genuinely loves dogs. She was amazing & we can't thank her enough! We would highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving & caring to look after their dog.”
“Brandy and Colin were incredible. We had booked them quite last minute to look after Maggie for our wedding. Communication was excellent, lots of updates and pictures throughout the day. They went above and beyond by bringing Maggie to our wedding reception so we could get some professional photos with her. Walking into our reception with a drink in hand to be surprised with Maggie running about is a memory we will forever treasure. We would 100% recommend booking with Brandy, thank you so much!”
“Michael and his family were lovely and very accommodating. Great with our 8 month old puppy, took her for a long walk and sent us regular updates. She seemed very happy when we picked her up and had a great day.”
About: I’ve had dogs almost constantly since I was 7, of all sizes and temperaments, with a particularly fondness for greyhounds/lurchers. Have looked after friends’ dogs over the last few years too. Currently in between jobs, when I do work it will be part time. Husband currently works from home so almost always someone in the house. Like to travel and be active at weekends so weekdays work better currently. We have a small secure fenced garden with a large park and other field areas nearby for plenty of sniffs and longer walks. Teenage daughter at home who has always been around dogs. Currently have our own beagle who is fairly chilled; happy to not leave any visiting dogs on their own with her if preferred. We do live in a 3 storey house with the living room on the first floor so dogs need to be OK with stairs.
“This was Lucky’s 5th stay with Antonia with more booked for the future. He’s super happy and makes himself comfy as soon as he arrives! Super lovely to know Antonia’s house is like a second home for Lucky and that he knows where he is and that he’ll have a lovely time whilst I’m working 🥰🐾”
“This was our first time using Rover but we are extremely happy with the care our dog recieved from Neil and his daughter. Neil sent us updates throughout the day and was very kind when I had messed up the booking! Definitely recommend.”
“I felt so at ease leaving Ronnie with Louise. On our first meet up, you can tell straight away that she is 100% a dog person. I will definitely be using Louise’s services again! She also sent lots of photo updates which was lovely.”
About: I have always had dogs and cats in the house until last month when my 23 yr old cat died. I don’t want another dog/cat of my own because, having recently retired, I am at that stage of life when I can travel whenever I want to however, I already miss the companionship that an animal brings to a home and feel that giving your dog a home from home experience will serve two purposes; firstly it will give you piece of mind that your dog is being lovingly cared for and secondly it will fulfil a need in me without impacting my wanderlust! The experience I can offer is purely from having my own pets, all of whom were rescued, the first being back in 1994 when I adopted my first dog from Battersea Dogs home. During my career I have held positions of responsibility within the RAF, local Education and most recently the NHS before retirement. I am recently retired and are therefore mostly at home which means that your dog would have all the love, fuss and company it needs. I have a large walled garden most of which is laid to grass. Unfortunately I have had to remove the gates as they were rotten so there is open access to the garden. In the interests of safety, I would ensure that your dog is kept on the lead whilst outside. I live on a one way, single lane street in a quiet area of the village with immediate access to some great country walks which I am looking forward to exploring more.
About: I have grown up around dogs and regularly have my mum’s dog to stay for up to 2 weeks at a time. I trained my family dog when she was a puppy and continue to recap her commands with her. I also have looked after my friends cats when she goes away by checking in a few times a day to feed and play with the cats and ensure they get time to go outside. I am a hybrid worker so have the flexibility to wfh. My hours are flexible so I can ensure I take dogs on long walks during my lunch break and that they are fed and played with at periods throughout the day. I have a fenced garden with plenty of grass and space to go to the toilet and run around. I live at the end of a cul-de-sac so very safe area with no cars passing by and a main road is a bit of a walk away. I allow pets on the sofa and have a plenty of blankets to cover furniture with so don’t mind them jumping up.
“As always, Colin and family go over and above in caring for our dog Frank. We always go away feeling confident and assured that our dog is very well looked after. Thank you so much..”
“Albert I know had a lovely time. Zuzanna looked after him for 2 weeks and he is an older dog we didn’t want to use kennels. I was updated with photos and messages Will definitely use Zuzanna again. Thank you kindly”
“Buster went for his overnight trial, and although we were quite anxious, Annette quickly put us at ease due to her experience with dogs, especially Yorkies. We received regular photos and updates, and Buster seemed to have fun. Annette is very attentive, and we are happy that we have him booked in for our summer holiday.”

About: Hi, I’m Sophie! I’ve spent over 20 years caring for cats of all kinds—from confident cuddle bugs to shy, independent souls. I understand their routines, quirks, and the importance of a calm, respectful approach. Whether it’s feeding, litter changes, medication, or just keeping them company while you’re away, I’ll treat your cat like one of my own. My partner Scott is also a cat lover and often helps out with drop-ins, especially when extra fuss or backup is needed. We're both committed to making sure your feline friend feels safe and cared for in your absence. I’m reliable, tidy, and always happy to send updates so you can relax while you're away.
“Suzanne is so dependable and thoughtful. Always sending me updates about how the cats are and if she has seen them or not. Happy to recommend to anyone. Also suzanne can accomodate last minute bookings..which mine usually are!”
About: I’ve been lucky enough to grow up with dogs as a child (picture of my first dog, Murphy, attached!) and also to have my own dogs for the past 8 years - both big and small in breed. The handsome dachshund in my photos is Buzz, who loved nothing more than to come on adventures and squirrel hunt. A couple of years ago I adopted Olive and Willow from Turkey, the two beautiful girls next to me in my profile photo. They’re the most extravagant souvenirs I think I will ever bring back from a holiday! I found them whilst in Turkey with my family. They’d been abandoned as puppies and Willow in particular was in a terrible state, so weak she couldn’t even stand. Fast forward 4 months of them quarantining with a lovely Turkish family, going through all the required tests and checks, posing for a passport photo and road tripping across Europe - they finally arrived to their forever home with me in Lincoln in December 2023. The change in them has been amazing to watch and they’re now happy, confident, obedient, loving, hilarious - and mischievous! There were some tough moments for us all whilst they settled in and decompressed, but seeing what time, patience and love has done for them has been incredible and I couldn’t imagine my life without them. My mum says I’m obsessed with them, and I am! Olive and Willow are Anatolian Shepherd mix and have therefore given me experience caring for and handling larger breeds. Last year Willow was sadly diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia (as a result of her bad start in life) for which she has had daily medication and recently undergone total hip replacement surgery. I therefore also have experience in catering for medical needs and administering medication. I am also able to cater to any dietary requirements - including giving supplements. My pets are part of my family and I do all I can to give them the best life possible and reciprocate the unconditional love they give to me. I understand that you often need support to look after a pet, particularly around work and other personal commitments, and have used dog walking services for my own pets for many years. I therefore know how daunting it can be to trust someone else with your pets care, safety and happiness, how important it is to find the right person and what qualities are needed - kindness, patience, resilience, honesty, reliability. I promise to treat your pet/s with the same care and love as I do my own. I have also experience caring for cats, tortoises, fish, hamsters, rabbits, and chickens. I am in the process of a career change and therefore fortunate to currently have a very flexible schedule. Your pet will therefore be my sole priority during my visit, walk or stay with them. I will always do my best to accommodate the times and schedules that suit you and your pet/s best and ensure their normal routine and schedule is adhered to as far as possible. I will care for your pet as if they were my own, and always prioritise their safety, happiness and wellbeing. Before caring for your pet under any service, I will arrange a meet and greet to introduce myself and discuss what you would, or wouldn’t like me to do during any booking so there is transparency and to ensure that I’m the right fit for you and your pet/s. I will care for and respect your home during any visit and give you regular updates.
“Agata too really good care of our cat Jenny. It was a real relief to know she was looked after while we were away. We had regular reports, messages and photos to keep us up to date. Would thoroughly recommend!”
“Lorena met with my cats before pet-sitting commenced, kept me updated with some lovely photos of my fur babies and even left a little gift after her last visit. Felt reassured that they were in good care.”
“Rohit helped me out very last minute over Christmas when I was let down by another sitter. He arrived promptly and was very attentive. He sent lots of updates and played lots with Margot. I would 100% use his services again.”
“Great communicator, very caring and just wonderful to contact for sitting my kitten. Best part of that my kitten, who's scared of most strangers had no issues playing with Amy. Will contact Amy first if I need a sitter for my cat again. Recommend to everyone else.”
About: I've taken care of a clients cat whilst they were in America for 4 weeks. This involved twice daily visits to feed, change water and spend time with the cat. I provided regular updates and photos. I have also done the same for another client on numerous occasions when they have gone away. I can provide a reference for both.
About: I grew up with cats and were often around them which lead to reading body language and understanding when they want to play and when to be left alone. I have experience dropping in and feeding my friends cats when she goes away, as well as playing with and ensuring they get time outside.
“Anna looked after our 4 cats whilst we were on a weeks holiday, and I think it's the first holiday we've been on that we didn't worry about them being left. Anna gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in capable hands, and she sent us lots of photos to keep us updated. It was nice to come home to happy cats and would 100% recommend Anna.”
“Renata has once again been reliable and professional :) our dogs mean everything to us and we know we can trust her to make sure they ok while we are away. She is knowledgeable and caring, always making sure they get lots of interaction and affection. Knowing Renata is checking in on them gives us piece of mind (we also get lots of photos) :)”
“Nicola was wonderful with our cat Miyah and you could tell Miyah had a lovely time getting lots of fuss during the drop ins! Nicole sent lots of pictures after each drop in, was great with communication and followed all the instructions we left perfectly. I'd absolutely recommend Nicole to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pet!”
“Kate has been absolutely brilliant with my indoor cat Willow. Willow can be shy around new people, but she always comes out to greet Kate and loves to play with her! Kate sent really detailed and cute updates with pictures while she was looking after Willow. Very trustworthy, we will be using her again. Thanks Kate ❤️”
About: I’ve had all animals since I was born, including dogs, cats and rabbits. I love all of my animals over the years. I currently have a french bulldog and a yorkshire terrier, I regularly look after both of them by myself and was relied on when my family went on holiday to look after them both. I am a university student, who has a lot of available time and would love to meet and play with a variety of dogs. Have experience with a lot of different animals and breeds of dogs. I have pet friendly artificial grass, a very welcoming and animal friendly home. Two other friendly dogs, who are very used to being around other animals, to keep your pet company. I have a crate if needed, I have many toys available for your pet and treats I can offer.
“We definitely recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a cat sitter. She took very good care of our cat whilst we were away for 5 days. She was sending regular updates, taking lots of photos and really getting to know our cat. Thanks to Natalie our holiday was stress free ?”
About: I have loved, adored and cared for various four-legged friends including my very own cocker spaniel Ellie; this has included all breeds small, large and of all ages. Now that I have recently moved and no longer own a canine of my own, I am ready to give all my love and cuddles to your best friend, from drop-in visits, to adventurous walks that are pawfect for your pooch. My promise is to meet all your dogs need while your away, as I understand no dog is the same; this I believe is what makes them the very best companions and truly man's best friend, with all their wonder, and their love for life and those around them ... can it really get any better than seeing that smile on your dog's face. I currently work as a practice nurse on Monday - Fridays. Meaning that my weekends are fully available with no commitments to tend to your four legged friend! I will ensure to follow your rules, and will have a pre visit with every owner to set out the expectations you have. I will send regular pictures and updates when walking or visiting your dog, so that you can be at ease while your away and know that your best friend is safe.

“Highly recommend! Jessica and Jonah took an amazing care of our 2 golden retrievers they had them for a full day, they were sending us lots of photos and making sure our dogs are being looked after well. We definitely will be back!”
“I have left Reeco with Emma twice now. Never left him with anyone before. Emma was amazing made me feel at ease she kept me updated throughout the day. Emma’s dogs was so good with Reeco it’s an amazing environment for him to stay in . When he’s there Emma is also helping with Reeco training . Will not let Reeco stay anywhere else I would highly recommend”
“Natalie is lovely and we were very impressed at the care She showed Lexi. Lexi can be quite stressed with new situations but Natalie's calmness really settled her. The photos showed how She enjoyed her time with her! We would definitely recommend Natalie as a competent dog sitter”
“Liberty has been to Brandy’s twice now for daycare. She is kind, attentive and knowledgable and sends picture and video updates throughout the day. Liberty was nervous to go to daycare at first but on the second day she was excited and had her tail wagging when we arrived. I would definitely recommend Brandy’s services.”

“Absolutely wonderful. My boy was so happy there that the second day he didn't even worry that I was leaving. I felt completely confident and he felt completely relaxed. Knowledgeable, friendly, and two pairs of absolutely safe hands - can't recommend highly enough.”
“Sarah and her husband are a lovely couple with a lovely house and a lovely garden. The place is a very nippy drive from the centre of Lincoln and you get stunning views of the Cathedral on the way. They clearly adore animals and Sparky had a wonderful time. I wasn't expecting her to be walked because Sparky is very strong willed and rarely allows anyone else but me to walk her. However, Sarah struck up a strong rapport and did take her out. Brilliant care and very happy with all she did for her whilst I was working. An easy 5 star rating.”
About: I have always grown up with dogs and I have experienced both young pups and seniors alike. From energetic puppies to calmer seniors; puppy puddles to senior incontinence. I have experienced the wide spectrum of a dog’s life and changing needs and I am happy to accommodate your dog’s needs as necessary, including administering medication, if required. Dogs are not pets to me - they are our family members and our precious babies. I will treat your dog as my own - playing with them when they want to play, giving them a cuddle when they want one and leaving them to rest when they need sleep. I will provide home from home accommodation for your dog: if they like to sit or lay on the furniture or sleep in the bedroom or the kitchen, just let me know. I have a beautiful female Cockapoo, Hettie, who is 19 months old. She is friendly and playful and loves people and dogs alike. I work from home so will be available for cuddles and toilet breaks as needed in our enclosed garden. I know how daunting getting dog care is - please rest assured that I will take great care of them. If you have any questions please do feel free to ask. Your dog will have company all day as I work from home. I will offer regular toilet breaks and playtime and cuddles. If I have your dog during a weekday, they will be walked at 8am and again at 5pm. At weekends, the walking times are more flexible and may include different routes. Please contact me if you have special requirements and I will do my best to accommodate. I work from home and have a fenced garden so your dog can have regular toilet breaks and outdoor playtime. Your dog’s comfort and safety are paramount to me. I am happy to send you regular photos/videos of your dog during the day and please do feel free to contact me at any time to check in on your fur baby. In the unlikely case that your dog becomes unwell during my care, I will not hesitate to contact you and/or take them to the vet’s if required. I want your dog to feel right at home, happy and settled. I am calm, caring and patient, and will take things at your dog’s pace. It is really important that your dog is friendly with other dogs as I have a dog at home. I will always offer a Meet & Greet beforehand so that we can ensure that this is a good match.
“It was the first time I had to leave my rescue dog Pearl with someone. She was very worried and anxious when I dropped her off but Suzannah was vary confident, calm & reassuring with both Pearl & me. When I returned to pick her up she was sitting on the sofa cuddling up to Suzannah's daughter. Perfectly happy and relaxed. I am so grateful to have found someone who I will have no hesitation leaving Pearl with again. Thank you both so much:)”
About: I have always adored dogs and I've been taking care of them since my teenage years. My mum met an elderly lady, Sue, at a local library. She needed her dog, Penny, walking, and Mum suggested I helped her. I was 16 at the time and was saving up for a laptop. I had always loved dogs, but never thought about walking them. After a nervous cycle down the country roads and an awkward introduction, I was walking through a wheat field and I realised how peaceful it was. I cherished the experience and since that day, I have been helping with neighbours' dogs, whether that's house sitting them in their own home, walking them or just popping in for 30 minutes. My friend is a dog walker, so I would go for walks with her and I learnt a lot about handling from her too. Since moving to Lincoln with my husband, I haven't had much time to do that, and I don't know my neighbours as well, but I would love to start again and get the ball rolling. I have made a couple of dog walking friends, and we now have our own lovely puppy, Tonka. Training has been tough, so if you choose me to look after your pup, I will definitely keep up with their training as I know how hard it can be! Recently I looked after a friend's dogs in my own home and Tonka loved the experience, however, Archie (my cat) did not, so I would only look after dogs who are good with cats in my own home from now on. I'm currently between jobs. I am a teaching assistant, and I work with children with SEND. The child I was working with at my previous school was in year 6, so has moved on. I am currently looking for a new job, whether that's in school, in a care home or at someone's house as a nanny, so I have plenty of time on my hands to take care of people's pets. I have a decent sized house with a fenced garden that has plenty of space for my lovely boy and your dog/s to make friends and play. My cat likes to try and join in too. I will respect the needs and wishes of your pets and always aspire to give them the love and care they deserve wherever I look after them.
About: Hello! My name is Sara, I'm an Italian translator and I've been living in Lincoln for 14 years. I've had dogs my entire life (4 at the same time, at one point!). My beloved 13yo cavapoo, Mia, passed away in June 2024, leaving a gaping hole in my life that I'm now eager to fill by looking after other people's dogs. Mia was on heart medication for the last 2 years of her life, so I have extensive experience in administering tablets to dogs and taking care of any other special needs senior dogs may have (frequent toilet breaks, shorter walks, etc.). Conversely, I can also look after younger, more energetic dogs: I regularly walk Reggie, a 1-year-old black Labrador who's extremely full of energy (as you'd expect from a Labrador pup!), as well as several young cockapoos, spaniels and Cavalier King Charles. I'm a very active person who loves the outdoors - I'm a keen runner and hiker, so you can rest assured your dog will get all the exercise they need whilst in my care! I am FULLY INSURED as a dog sitter, which means you can have 100% peace of mind whenever I am walking your dog or taking care of them, either in my home or at yours. Your dog will always be the ONLY dog I look after (unless you have more than one dog living together, of course!). I believe every pooch deserves my undivided attention at all times, and that's exactly what they'll get whilst in my care. Would you like your dog to socialise more? No problem, I have friends who live nearby who are always happy to go for a walk with their lovely, well-behaved dogs, so that your pup can make new friends and get used to other pups and to being in social settings. I have recently taken sweet Rita on a long walk that culminated with Sunday lunch at the Pyewipe and she absolutely loved it! Not to mention Renzo getting all the attention at Caffè Portico during a coffee break 🥰 I live in central Lincoln and work from home. I'm self-employed and own a car, both of which give me maximum flexibility. If you need someone to stay in your house to ensure your dogs' comfort and avoid stressing them out in a new environment, I'm happy to work from your home. I can also look after them in my own house - I have a secure courtyard with a locked gate and my house is obviously dog-friendly. I'm happy for your dog to spend time on all of my soft furnishings with me, if that's what they're used to, and they will have access to every room in the house, so they can explore as they please and find the perfect spot to relax and feel comfortable in. Additionally, I'm happy to pop in for a quick visit to check on your dogs during the day and/or take them out for a long walk while you're at work. And, if it's cuddles they crave, there's plenty of those waiting for them! I absolutely love dogs and can't wait to give them all the attention they need and deserve. Do get in touch and let's get to know each other. I'd love to become someone your dog loves and looks forward to spending time with! I'm self-employed and work from home, so I'm extremely flexible in terms of schedule and location I can work from. I own a car and am happy to travel. I have a secure, enclosed courtyard with a locked, tall gate to keep your dog safe. I'd also never leave your dogs outside on their own - I always supervise them while they're outside to make sure they're safe.
About: I have had cats for 16 years, in the house resides 1 indoor car and 2 who go in and out. I have had dogs as a child but the two littlies I have are 8 and 3. They all have very different levels of bounce and chatter. Oh and I do have a 15 year old who would adopt every pet possible if he could, so extra cuddles are available. I am currently assessing my options regarding my next career, so am available most of the time. I have numerous rooms to give space to any pet that needs it and have a garden that they can chase around too. Walking will be in line with owners expectations. So let me know what your pet needs. I have a fenced garden and have two little dogs and the 3 cats. And a gecko. I can accommodate crates if you bring them.
“Natalie and Elliot looked after my 6-month-old Whippet while I was away for the day. They were fantastically patient with her puppy-like ways and met her needs with walks and play time. Natalie kept me updated with photographs and messages and it was great to know she was in safe hands! Plus, they were super flexible with drop-off and pick-up times which was really helpful for me! Thanks so much to you both 😁”

About: Hello! I’m Tasmin, a lifelong animal lover, especially of dogs. Although I don’t have my own dog right now (hopefully soon!), I’d love to take care of yours! I’m an experienced dog boarder (our home), dog and home sitter (your home) and dog walker, regularly looking after dogs of all sizes from puppies and daschunds to german shepherds and retrievers. I am happy to take care of your dog for both short and extended stays. I also offer routine walks, home visits or one-off walks when you’re unavailable for 30 minutes or longer! I enjoy long walks, playing, and even taking naps—so I'm the perfect best friend for any dog! As a self-employed brand designer and illustrator, I’m home almost all of the day and I really love having the company of a furry friend. Home Boarding and Doggy Daycare 🏠 I live in a spacious three storey town house with my partner Toby (who is also self employed and also dog obsessed) and we love having dogs stay with us. We only board up to two dogs at a time and only if they are from the same family, other than this, your pup is the only dog in the house, so you can rest assured they are getting as much love and attention as possible while you're away. Our home is spacious and we don't mind sharing our soft furnishings with your pup (as long as that's the rule in your house too) should you prefer they stay in their own space we are also very comfortable ensuring we follow and maintain your household rules during their stay. Wherever we are in the house we always ensure the dogs are with us too so we can keep each other company and keep them safe. When your dog boards with us we provide at least two hours of walking a day split into two or three walks as well as additional toilet breaks. We have the West Common, The Lawn, The Arboretum and Mount Street Gated Dog Park on our doorstep and these are the places we head to most often. We do also have a secure balcony at the property with dog friendly artificial grass which can be used for elderly dogs or dogs that may struggle to get around or that are prone to little accidents (the balcony is also perfect for the dogs that love to sunbathe *I'm looking at the sausage dogs*) During their holiday we ensure to keep to your dogs routine so they can stay as settled as possible during your time away. 🚗 If you (and your dog) are comfortable with car rides then we love to take them further afield for a trip to the Lincolnshire Wolds, a local National Trust or a beach for the day, if that is something you feel they would enjoy. 🌲🐚 I know it’s hard to leave your pup and even harder to leave them with someone new, but I'll be sure to send you photos and videos of your pet snuggled up next to me, playing, chilling in their own space or on one of their walks so you can feel reassured that they're cosy, safe and having a holiday of their own! House Sitting When I house sit I will be spending time with your pet(s) as if they were my own, making sure to maintain their routine, offer lots of cuddles and playtime and ensure they feel calm and secure. Due the nature of self employed work I am able to work from anywhere as long as you have wifi you don't mind me using, so I would be able to stay for the duration of your time away. I am also happy to take deliveries, collect post, water your plants (inside and out) and do small jobs around the house and garden if needed! (I like to keep busy!) I will treat your home as my own, with respect and care, I ensure that I maintain your space and make sure it's inviting, clean and tidy for you to return back to. I'm very safety conscious person and I will always ensure to follow any usual security measures you would normally take when in your home. I am a photographer occasionally on the side of my design business so while your dog is with me I am sometimes a little extra and provide a mini professional photo shoot for your pup when they are relaxing or having fun, so you'll have some quality photographs to cherish forever. 📷✨ Dog Walks Need a dog walker? I'm super flexible with my availability for dog walks due to the nature of self employment and would love to collect your dog for half an hour up to an hour and a half for a walk and play to break up their day. The most common places we visit are The West Common, The Lawn, The Arboretum and Mount Street Dog Park (for the shorter walks). Please free to message me with any questions, I'd love to get to know you and your best friend. Home Boarding and Doggy Daycare I live in a spacious three storey town house with my partner Toby (who is also self employed and also dog obsessed) and we love having dogs stay with us. We only board up to two dogs at a time from the same family or if you only have one dog they get their own holiday with us by themselves for maximum attention and cuddles! Our home is spacious and we don't mind sharing our soft furnishings with your pup (as long as that's the rule in your house too) should you prefer they stay in their own space we are also very comfortable ensuring we follow and maintain your household rules during their stay. Wherever we are in the house we always ensure the dogs are with us too so we can keep each other company and keep them safe. When your dog boards with us we provide at least two hour long walks a day as well as additional toilet breaks. We have the West Common, The Lawn, The Arboretum and Mount Street Gated Dog Park on our doorstep and these are the places we head to most often. We do also have a secure balcony at the property with dog friendly artificial grass which can be used for elderly dogs or dogs that may struggle to get around or that are prone to little accidents. During their holiday we ensure to keep to your dogs routine so they can stay as settled as possible during your time away. If you (and your dog) are comfortable with car rides then we are also happy to take them further afield in Lincolnshire to the Wolds and nearby beaches, if that is something they would enjoy. I know it’s hard to leave your pup and even harder to leave them with someone new, but I'll be sure to send you photos and videos of your pet snuggled up next to me, playing, chilling in their own space or on one of their walks so you can feel reassured that they're cosy, safe and having a holiday of their own! Dog Walks Need a dog walker? I'm super flexible with my availability for dog walks due to the nature of self employment and would love to collect your dog for half an hour up to an hour and a half for a walk and play to break up their day. The most common places we visit are The West Common, The Lawn, The Arboretum and Mount Street Dog Park (for the shorter walks). House Sitting When I house sit I will be spending time with your pet as if they were my own, making sure to maintain their routine, offer lots of cuddles and playtime and ensure they feel calm and secure. Due the nature of self employed work I am able to work from anywhere as long as you have wifi you don't mind me using, so I would be able to stay for the duration of your time away. I am also happy to take deliveries, collect post, and water your plants (inside and outside) if needed! I'm very safety conscious person and I will always ensure to follow any usual security measures you would normally take when in your home.

About: Hi, I’m Sophie! Before my loyal Malinois, Four, turned me into a full-on dog person, I was a lifelong cat lover—so I truly understand both feline independence and canine companionship. I offer calm, trustworthy care shaped by years of hands-on experience with a range of pets, from affectionate lap cats to high-energy, working-breed dogs. Thanks to Four, I also have experience supporting dogs with pulling, reactivity, and basic training needs—so I know how to keep walks safe and stress-free. My partner Scott often lends a hand on walks and drop-ins—we’re both passionate about animals and committed to providing gentle, reliable care. Whether your pet needs company, exercise, or just a steady presence while you're away, I tailor my care to suit their personality and routine. Because your pet deserves a Five-Star experience! I work full time during the week, but caring for animals is a core part of my daily life. I walk my own dog, Four, every day—rain or shine—so I’m used to fitting pet care around a busy schedule. I don’t work weekends or during school holidays, which gives me extra flexibility for drop-ins and walks. My partner Scott is also an animal lover and often supports with afternoon visits when needed, but I’m always the main point of contact and responsible for bookings and care. Pet care is second nature in our household! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I hold a current DBS check and treat every animal with the same care and attention I give my own dog, Four. When walking dogs, I ensure they’re secure on a lead—especially those with reactivity or pulling tendencies—and always check the environment for potential hazards. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I create a calm, secure space tailored to your pet’s needs. For drop-ins, I create a calm, familiar environment for your pet by sticking to their usual routine—feeding, providing fresh water, and giving them the attention they’re used to. I take extra care to follow any specific instructions from you, and I’m always happy to send updates to keep you reassured. Whether your pet is a dog or a cat, I treat them with kindness, respect, and care, ensuring they feel comfortable and safe in their environment.
“Leah is an absolute star. She goes above and beyond when it comes to my puppy. When he wasn't feeling well she had walked into quite a mess, but she handled it brilliantly and I couldn't thank her enough. My pup absolutely adores her and enjoys playing and going on walks with her. She's taken the time to really get to know him and make a special bond, especially as my pup is quite shy around new people. Highly recommend!”
“Korra loved Suzy! We’d only had Korra a few weeks after rescuing her before we asked Suzy if she had time to walk her. Suzy was so lovely and gentle with Korra, and really brought out kinda at ease - I was worried that Korra may think we’d abandoned her if someone else was walking her! Safe to say Korra had a fantastic time, and we’ll definitely be booking with Suzy again 🥰”
“Lorena is lovely, she instantly made friends with my fur baby! She sent me a lot of pics and videos and honestly my dog was having the time of her life with her 🤣. You can tell she is really experienced with dogs!! Rest assured if I will be in need of a dog sitter I will be booking with Lorena again!!”
“Raquel is absolutely fantastic with Korra. Korra loves walks, but is an anxious girly and Raquel is really helping Korra become more confident and present in her walks. Korra also loves Raquel and gets so excited to see her (which is the most adorable thing)!!”
“I’d highly recommend Hannah as a trusted dog walker. Max the Labrador enjoyed his walks with her, and Hannah ensured his paws were cleaned on returning from the walks. We’d gladly use her again in future.”
About: I’ve had dogs almost constantly since I was 7, of all sizes and temperaments, with a particularly fondness for greyhounds/lurchers. Have looked after friends’ dogs over the last few years too. Currently in between jobs, when I do work it will be part time. Husband currently works from home so almost always someone in the house. Like to travel and be active at weekends so weekdays work better currently. We have a small secure fenced garden with a large park and other field areas nearby for plenty of sniffs and longer walks. Teenage daughter at home who has always been around dogs. Currently have our own beagle who is fairly chilled; happy to not leave any visiting dogs on their own with her if preferred. We do live in a 3 storey house with the living room on the first floor so dogs need to be OK with stairs.
About: Council licences, qualified in pet care and first aid, dbs checked and insured. I devote myself to your animals, and am available to look after your dogs at anytime. Both my dogs love being with other dogs… they’re fully used to other dogs in the house as all of my family has a dog so the house often has up to 5 dogs in it. I can cater to any requirements. Offering a genuine animal-loving household with many years of hands-on experience. Having raised a Shih Tzu and a high-energy working Cocker Spaniel from puppies (now 11 and 2), and also had cats, horses, fish and chameleons. I am very active and used to meeting different needs — my Cocker Spaniel enjoys daily long countryside walks/ runs i take him on, often up to 7 miles, while my Shih Tzu follows a calmer routine due to being older and gets up to 30mins of walking in the evening. My dogs are friendly, well socialised, and comfortable around other dogs. Having boarded very wide range of dogs which have all become very quickly a part of our family, sleeping with us if necessary and always enjoying cuddles in the sofa in the evening. I am fully available and able to dedicate plenty of time, care, and attention to your pets. I understand every pet is part of the family and am always happy to follow individual routines to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. I have completed a diploma in pet sitting and dog walking which has given me the training and knowledge required to cater to your animals needs. Being at home weekends and all school holidays means no pet will be left alone. I have fully trained my spaniel from a puppy, he is able to follow many commands and regularly goes to dog shows. During school holidays (17wks) and weekends I am fully available at home consistently to be here and look after your pets. I will be home 24/7 and can walk dogs as much as required over whatever turf they’re used to. Fully enclosed large back garden with high fencing, including many pet agility jumps, hoops etc . Large house for dogs to roam free and have their own beds and rooms.
“James is absolutely fantastic with our rescue dog Gary. I was worried about handing him over to someone as he is not the easiest dog to deal with as we believe he has had a very difficult life, James has made a very strong bond with him and is very caring and capable of looking after our looney pup! He is incredibly reliable and trustworthy. Seeing the photos each day has been great too! We would highly recommend James to anyone.”
About: A former veterinarian now clinical animal behaviour student at the University of Lincoln with 10+ years of pet care experience across multiple species. Experience with petsitting and providing medical care to animals before the start of my veterinary career then moved to a dedicated veterinary practice for the last 8 years. I love being around animals and just watching and caring for them brings me so much joy! Through my recent education, have developed a better understanding of pet and this aids my motivation to be a pet sitter as I feel like with my experience and knowledge, I would make the experience for the pet wholesome and pleasurable and this in turn would help pet owners to be at easy that their pet is in good hands. I consider myself friendly, open and honest when it comes to my interactions with the pet owners and believe it is important to keep clear communication between us while also making sure they get timely updates and pictures of their pets. I understand this even more as I myself have had pets all through my life and even seeing a photo of them can bring me so much joy. Currently, I own 2 senior dogs, 1 rabbit and a newt back home but in the past I have also owned cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fishes and birds. I currently live on rent in a house with a dog so I cannot keep animals in my accomodation so would be looking to exclusively pet sit through overnight stays or drop-in visits. I can provide overnight stays on all days. Drop in visits through the day, all days of the week. Walks included in visits usually but would require a trial walk before the visit. I cannot bring pets in my accomodation. At a pet owner's home I can follow any practices the pet is used to whether it is being left in a crate or a specific area of the house before I leave. I can also provide medical care and follow routine and specific medical instructions if needed. I also accommodate requests for watering plants and any other specific house care instructions if within my capacity. I am adaptable and resourceful with my methods and would make any experience for the pet a positive one with keeping comfort and happiness as a priority. I also find it very important that the pet's routine should be as similar to what the owner's would normally do if they were home making it minimally stressful for the pet.
About: I have grown up around dogs and regularly have my mum’s dog to stay for up to 2 weeks at a time. I trained my family dog when she was a puppy and continue to recap her commands with her. I also have looked after my friends cats when she goes away by checking in a few times a day to feed and play with the cats and ensure they get time to go outside. I am a hybrid worker so have the flexibility to wfh. My hours are flexible so I can ensure I take dogs on long walks during my lunch break and that they are fed and played with at periods throughout the day. I have a fenced garden with plenty of grass and space to go to the toilet and run around. I live at the end of a cul-de-sac so very safe area with no cars passing by and a main road is a bit of a walk away. I allow pets on the sofa and have a plenty of blankets to cover furniture with so don’t mind them jumping up.
About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of animals, but dogs are my absolute favourite. I have taken care of my own dogs, but friends and neighbours also rely on me to take care of their pets. I always make sure to account for the needs of the pets in my care, whether they need a walk, a bathroom break, or a tummy rub. I also have a supportive family that also loves dogs. The dogs in my care have a totally supportive environment. Pets in my care always have priority. I will only agree to take care of dogs if I know that I can put them first. I have a fenced garden and a supportive family. Dogs will have access to most of the house - wherever they feel most comfortable. It is a non-smoking house. The stairs can be dog-proofed if required.
About: I’m a true dog lover, if there is a party I’m the first to sit with a dog and have a comfortable chat, and pat. I was very fortunate to have 17 years with my first baby, a miniature schnauzer, who I adored. The last 5 years of his life required a lot of extra care due to heart problems, and extreme sensitivity to most food. That being said, I’m good at giving medication, and have the extra patience and perseverance to make sure the dog has his proper medication in a calm, loving way. Before my dog was poorly, he was a high energetic gentleman, who loved his 3-4 walks a day. I through enjoy a pets company and like them to feel comfortable, and pampered when in my care. I am the first to volunteer to furbaby sit if any of my friends are going away, and have asked friends if I could borrow their dogs for a nice walk. I currently work remotely (at home during the day) and have two young children in their first years of school. Working from home lets me be a companion with your pet, with breaks for play, breaks in the outdoor garden area, and a nice walk (or two). I have a small high stoned wall garden with a patch of grass, and I always walk with a lead when on public pathways, usually in quiet neighbourhoods, or public parks.
About: I’ve grown up with pets throughout my childhood. I’ve learnt how to train puppy’s and kittens, I have learnt how to behave with gun dogs and simply enjoy playing with animals! I am at home every day, I would love to get out more, be active and allow pets to join me on a fun walk! I live with family, in a very loving and caring home. I am happy to walk dogs whenever suited, and I would treat the dog as if it were my own. :)
About: Hi! I'm passionate about pets, and I own two maine coon cats! My whole childhood I grew up with 5 dogs, of different ages and breeds, and my parents are licensed breeders so I have a lot of experience with young pets too. I also have a pet psychology and nutrition certificate, as well as a pet first aid certificate! I can work anytime, can do morning and after noon walks and check ins, or whatever is required for your situation! I can always find time to work around your pets usual routine to make them more comfrotable. Thank you very much! When visiting your home to check on your pets, always leave it clean and tidy,i have experience with cleaning up after both dog and cat messes!
“Natalie and Elliot are super friendly, prompt and reliable - so good at handling our 6 month old energetic pup. She clearly had a wonderful walk with them both and we feel like she is in very safe and experienced hands with them :) thanks Natalie and Elliot!”
About: Hi :) I’m Nicole. Im 35 years old and I work in a full time professional role within the civil service. I live with my partner who is also an animal lover, and we have two beautiful and friendly cats called Zeus and Hades. My experience with pets has stemmed from when I was younger, I have had a range of animals including guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, fish and cats. I have had experiences with dogs, me and my ex-partner used to have a Staffordshire bull terroir together called Tyrone! He was a fun loving dog and we enjoyed getting out as much as possible to take him on adventures. When I was younger within the family home we regularly looked after a lurcher called molly. We used to take her on adventures to wales to visit family there and make use of the valleys, beaches and mountains to take her on walks. Once me and my partner are in our new home, we are getting our own loveable pup and we are looking to do home boarding also. I’m a naturalist at heart, I love to go on days out to the seaside, country parks, walking around parks in Lincolnshire and making the most of being outdoors. I have always enjoyed walking, but it is always better being in the company of a four legged friend. I thought I would give this service ago as I love animals and see this as a hobby. If I’m on house sits, it’s also a nice getaway for me too. I also see it as supporting owners by looking after their pets and it is something I enjoy doing. I love all kinds of pets from all breeds, shapes and sizes. Currently I make the most of walking and looking after my sisters dog, a gorgeous greyhound cross saluki. Very loving and lively!! Just to make people aware, I have a vehicle and I am insured fully comprehensive with a full drivers licence. I work flexible hours and I am home working the majority of the time. So I can be quite mobile and work at different places if needed for a dog/cat play and stay. I will always follow the owners regime of pet and safety care when I am looking after their beloved pets and being within their properties. I also have dog seatbelts for travelling in vehicles and they would always stay in the back. Any questions are welcome and I am happy to answer anything requested. Thanks for reading :) Nicole
About: I have loved, adored and cared for various four-legged friends including my very own cocker spaniel Ellie; this has included all breeds small, large and of all ages. Now that I have recently moved and no longer own a canine of my own, I am ready to give all my love and cuddles to your best friend, from drop-in visits, to adventurous walks that are pawfect for your pooch. My promise is to meet all your dogs need while your away, as I understand no dog is the same; this I believe is what makes them the very best companions and truly man's best friend, with all their wonder, and their love for life and those around them ... can it really get any better than seeing that smile on your dog's face. I currently work as a practice nurse on Monday - Fridays. Meaning that my weekends are fully available with no commitments to tend to your four legged friend! I will ensure to follow your rules, and will have a pre visit with every owner to set out the expectations you have. I will send regular pictures and updates when walking or visiting your dog, so that you can be at ease while your away and know that your best friend is safe.

“Barney has stayed with Alastrina several times now, and as always, her service is absolutely fantastic. I can’t recommend her highly enough as a dog sitter—she truly goes above and beyond!”
“Caroline and Andrew did a great job caring for Luca for the week he stayed with them in August. He had a lovely time and we wouldn't hesitate in recommending Caroline for any future dog sitting requirements.”
“Nina had a wonderful time with Jessica and Jonah. She was perfectly looked after and settled in right away. They kept us up to date with some fun pictures during our time away which made us feel relaxed and happy Nina was in safe hands.”
“Joseph and Helen had a met and greet with Stan (my elderly Boxer) before they cared for him. He’s usually a little nervous of people he doesn’t know but went to them straight away with no anxiety, which tells me a lot about someone. Joe kept in communication before hand ensuring he knew everything he needed to know about Stan and any foibles he had. While I was away I was sent a photo and message to say how well he was settling. When I hit back from my trip I was met by a very relaxed and chilled dog who had obviously had a good time.’ I would certainly use Joseph and Helen again and can’t recommend them enough.😃”
“Michael and his family were lovely and very accommodating. Great with our 8 month old puppy, took her for a long walk and sent us regular updates. She seemed very happy when we picked her up and had a great day.”

“This was Lucky’s 5th stay with Antonia with more booked for the future. He’s super happy and makes himself comfy as soon as he arrives! Super lovely to know Antonia’s house is like a second home for Lucky and that he knows where he is and that he’ll have a lovely time whilst I’m working 🥰🐾”
“I couldn't be happier with the exceptional care that Sarah provided for our dog! They went above and beyond to ensure that our dog was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. The regular updates and photos sent our way made us feel connected and assured that our dog was in the best of hands. Their genuine love for animals was evident, and it gave us great peace of mind to know our dog was being looked after by someone so trustworthy and attentive. We highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog-sitter. Thank you for the outstanding service!”
About: I have always had dogs and cats in the house until last month when my 23 yr old cat died. I don’t want another dog/cat of my own because, having recently retired, I am at that stage of life when I can travel whenever I want to however, I already miss the companionship that an animal brings to a home and feel that giving your dog a home from home experience will serve two purposes; firstly it will give you piece of mind that your dog is being lovingly cared for and secondly it will fulfil a need in me without impacting my wanderlust! The experience I can offer is purely from having my own pets, all of whom were rescued, the first being back in 1994 when I adopted my first dog from Battersea Dogs home. During my career I have held positions of responsibility within the RAF, local Education and most recently the NHS before retirement. I am recently retired and are therefore mostly at home which means that your dog would have all the love, fuss and company it needs. I have a large walled garden most of which is laid to grass. Unfortunately I have had to remove the gates as they were rotten so there is open access to the garden. In the interests of safety, I would ensure that your dog is kept on the lead whilst outside. I live on a one way, single lane street in a quiet area of the village with immediate access to some great country walks which I am looking forward to exploring more.

“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 :)”
“Sophie was amazing. Looked after our Cacau as if she were her own. It made leaving her so much easier when going away on our holiday abroad. She kept us up to date with pictures. Cacau had a great time with Lily and all the family. Thank you so much! ?”
“Kinga and her Partner are lovely dog sitters and our Golden Retriever puppy, Skye, had a great holiday with her two family dogs. Thank you for sending us through some smashing videos and photos. I will book Skye in with you when we have another trip away.”
“Bradley and pip were amazing with Callie! They truly spoiled her and treated her like one of their own, she went on lots of runs and outings. Lots of reassuring photos and videos were sent. Callie has had so much fun that she isn’t happy to be home and away from her new friends. We will definitely be using again!”
About: We live in a spacious house in Nettleham, We are both Mental Health Practitioners working in the NHS, I work shift work and my partner works 9-5. Doing shift work means I am often free during typical working hour times which means I am able to help look after your pets when you are at work. I have had experience looking after several cats and dogs that family friends have trusted me with. I also have had extensive experience in caring and looking after dogs for a dog walking/care business in Brighton, aswell as working in a puppy nursery part time a couple of years ago. I work in shift patterns with long days and nights at Lincoln Hopsital. In my spare time, I often have full days off which means I am able to walk your dogs when you are working 9-5pm We live in a 2 storey house in Nettlham, with access to fields and parks nearby. I understand they are your babies, so I aim to keep you updated and in frequent contact with you by text if that makes you feel more comfortable .
“Laura was a great host looking after our dog for a weekend. Our dog Harley had a lovely stay with her enjoying some nice walks. We received some lovely photos over the weekend which set our mind at ease. Very quick to reply to messages and good price. We will definitely use Laura again next time we go away and thoroughly recommend her to anyone wanting a home from home for their dog.”
About: As a lifelong pet owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves adventures, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and at home. 🐾❤️ _________________ Important: As I have my own dog, I can only accept dogs that are friendly and comfortable around other dogs. For the safety and wellbeing of all pets in my care, dogs must be neutered/spayed. I also require a meet and greet before any booking to ensure the dogs are comfortable with each other and that your pet will be happy, relaxed, and safe in my home. I also have a 17-year-old cat, Tiger. During dog boarding, she will be kept in a separate part of the house that guest dogs do not have access to. This ensures her safety and wellbeing, while also providing a calm and comfortable environment for any dogs staying with me. I carefully manage introductions and household spaces so that all animals in my care can feel safe, relaxed, and secure. I live with my dog, Simba, and my 17-year-old cat, Tiger, so my routine naturally revolves around caring for them, including walks, feeding, playtime, enrichment, grooming, and making sure they are happy and comfortable. I work four days a week, and my pet-sitting availability is Friday to Sunday, when I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m used to planning my days around animals’ needs and routines, and I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and companionship. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and caring for them is something I do because I love it, not just as a service. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, and care while they’re with me. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in my home, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced garden for dogs to enjoy supervised outdoor time, and my home is a calm, pet-friendly environment. For added security, I also have CCTV covering the property. I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medication, routines, and any specific requirements. I understand that pets can feel unsettled when away from home, so I do my best to maintain their usual routine and provide plenty of attention, reassurance, and enrichment. I live with my friendly dog, Simba, and my 17-year-old cat, Tiger, so I’m experienced in managing a multi-pet household and recognising individual needs and personalities. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I treat their home with the same respect and care as I would my own. I’ll ensure pets are fed, exercised, kept company, and cared for according to their normal routine, while also providing updates and photos for peace of mind. 🐾❤️
“Sarah was just perfect! We were so lucky that our baby boy Billy was looked after by her. Our dogs are the most precious thing in our lives and having Sarah (and her family) was incredibly important! Plenty of updates, photos and details of his days/routine, including always being able to respond our requests too. Thanks a lot Sarah! We recommend You so much! All the stars to You! (5 certainly not enough 😊) Thanks thanks thanks!”
About: I've had pets for as long as I can remember! Dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish and even stick insects! (don't ask - my poor Mum!) I'm comfortable with large dogs and giving medication to pets. I can also look in on small pets too and I'll even put out your bins while you're away :) I'm available for pop-ins after 4pm, Tuesday to Friday and all day at the weekend. I'm also available for overnight boarding at the weekend too. I have a fenced garden and plenty of open space around us to stretch our legs and get a change of scenery. In your home I will follow your usual routine for feeding, play, medication etc.
