Dog Walking Lincoln

About: I have grown up around animals, so I am very comfortable handling and caring for small animals, cats and dogs. I am very reliable and attentive when it comes to the care of animals. I’m eager to help with check-ins, care, and walks for your pet. I’m currently on summer holidays after completing my first year at university, so I will be able to dedicate a lot of time caring and playing with your pets! I’m free all week so I am very flexible for your needs. At home I am responsible for feeding the pets. I also clean up after them, including deep cleaning the rabbits’ hutch. Additionally I take my dog on walks and play with him very regularly. I would be confident when caring for others’ pets; walking, feeding, and maintaining your animal’s home.

“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 🥰”

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: Hi! Me and my husband are both passionate about pets, and we 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! We can work anytime, can do morning and after noon walks and check ins, or whatever is required for your situation! We can usually find time to work around your pets usual routine to make them more comfrotable. When visiting your home to check on your pets, we always leave it clean and tidy, and make sure your pet has everything it needs!

About: I have plenty of experience caring for dogs through looking after my own dog, Max, back home, who I have taken full responsibility for. I have also regularly cared for dogs belonging to friends and family, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines and needs. I’m an active person and really enjoy going on long walks. I previously had a Whippet, so I’m used to keeping dogs active and making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention and stimulation. Most importantly, I’m caring, patient and responsible, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I am currently a university student, but I have a flexible schedule and am free for most of the day. My university commitments are generally manageable, which means I can fit pet care around my studies. I’m able to be flexible with timings and can dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, feeding and giving pets the attention they need. I always make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable and cared for, whether they are staying in my home or I am looking after them in their own home. My previous dog was a Whippet, so I understand that they can be very affectionate and often love plenty of attention, cuddles and companionship. This has taught me the importance of being patient, attentive and understanding each dog’s individual personality and needs. I would make sure pets have a calm and secure environment, with regular walks, playtime, feeding and plenty of attention. I also understand the importance of following the owner’s routine and instructions, as keeping pets comfortable in their normal routine helps them settle in. I’m responsible and always keep a close eye on dogs during walks and outings, while giving them lots of love and reassurance.

About: I've always loved animals, ever since we got our first family dog when I was little. I am drawn to animals and would provide your pet with so much love and care when looking after them! I also grew up with cats and love them dearly. I have dogsitted for family and friends before, both big and small dogs. I am very responsible and would keep you up to date on how your pet is doing. I'm currently a student at the university of Lincoln, but due to the nature of my course a full time or part time job doesn't really work with placements and lectures! I live in the city so can walk or drive if further afield. I am happy to follow whatever rules you have in place to keep your pet safe and calm. I am a big fan of written instructions and will follow any provided very carefully.

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: my family have had an encyclopaedia of animals since I was a baby, from dogs, cats, hamsters, lizards, cockatiels, love birds, Tropical fish, rabbits and Guinea pigs. I am now currently in my 30s with 2 children and 2 of the most energetic loving border collies. I often take care of all my families pets when they are away on holiday. I have had the rare opportunity of looking after my brothers chicks, from egg to chick to juvenile. I am currently working part time trying to make my way in the animal business, I have 2 children who are currently at school so am available from 9:30 am to 2:45pm Monday, Tuesday and Friday to play and have fun with your pets. Weekends are strictly family time. For walking I ensure I have lots of suitable treats, and an on the go water bottle ready for your pet and those long journeys we will take, along with very sturdy leads! My dogs love to pull because of their breed, so I make sure only to use the best of the best. I have a cushioned base in my car for comfort and suitable safety harnesses for the drive, because a walk around the block is just simply not suitable all the time. Accompanied with a long line lead, to build and develop that trust, so your dog can run but stay safe.

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’m Blu! I have been studying animal care since collage and study animal behaviour and welfare at uni! Iv had many pets through my life and always love meeting new fuzzy friends. I have worked in dog kennels and groomers along with reptile shops. I’m happy to work with any breed and behaviours and try and work on some training if wanted! Unfortunately due to student housing I am not able to take in any pets but can visit and play for a while! I am currently unemployed and have nothing to do!! At home I have a pet snake and use to have a dog who I lost to diabetes but had a verity of pets over the years. Now a days I have lots of free time (which I spend doing art) so same day calls will be no problem as I’m free most days. I use to spend a lot of time exploring with my pup, seeing new wooded places but also getting him use to loud areas. We worked on recall so when I saw him sniffing something to eat or roll in he would instead focus on me. Iv worked with many animals over the years including cat and dog behaviour training. What’s important to me is learning who I’m with and what personality they have, whether they prefer a chill cuddle or an excited play I’m down for whatever makes them happy!

About: I've taken care of animals, particularly dogs, my entire life and entrusted with care by myself from around age 8. Friends and family have relied on me for the feeding, walking and bathing of their dogs and I look forward to doing the same for you! We always had animals in the house growing up, ranging from fish and hamsters to dogs and cats, so I am knowledgeable in the care of animals of all size, ages and personalities. Whether it’s a short potty break or a long adventure walk, I make sure every outing is safe and fun, hoping to make a trustworthy bond with every pet I come across! I am currently studying Psychology at the University of Lincoln and am looking for some experience of caring for animals that can develop my understanding of the effect animal-human interactions can have on mental health! Besides that, I love caring for animals and being outdoors so this is the perfect part-time role for me that can fit around my schedule which seems to vary week to week. I am able to provide care in-between and after my academic day, as well as being available on weekends, evenings and holiday periods. Since being at university, I am unable to care for animals in my own home. However, when providing care in a pet owner's home, I can ensure things are kept neat and tidy and left just as I found them. I always focus on keeping your animals safe, comfortable, and happy. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that means feeding at certain times, giving medication, or sticking to their favourite walking routes. As a trustworthy and caring individual, there is no doubt that your space, and pet, will be respected and loved until your return.

“James is very flexible in meeting my needs for walking my dog. He has regularly accepted last minute changes. He is reliable and keeps to agreed times. He is also thoughtful with regards to weather conditions and letting you know if he's not going to be available. I would definitely recommend for dog walking services”

About: I always used to look after my aunties dogs whenever I went to her house as a child, I would walk them every morning, feed them, and just look after them in general. I also occasionally look after my girlfriend's dogs and would take them on walks aswell. I love working with animals and love seeing a happy animal. I just finished sixth form so I now have a lot of free time, I am free most days of the week, but if youre unsure, just message me to see if I will be free. I've had dogs in the house before and they showed no signs of distress so I know it is a safe environment for them. I also have a large garden but unfortunately the fence isnt enough to contain most dogs. I have no animals in the house so if your pet doesnt enjoy being with other dogs, they will be happy. There are great paths and areas around my house where I can walk your dogs.

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: Hello! I am a mature, reliable father of a teenage daughter. I have been working for a large dog walking and sitting business for 4 years, caring for all different breeds, sizes and temperament of dog. I am currently training as a dog groomer and have a City & Guilds Level 1 certificate in Dog Grooming and a Canine First Aid Level 2 (VTQ). I feel fortunate to work every day with dogs and I look forward to meetings yours! I currently work as a dog walker during the week, so I have plenty of hands-on experience with dogs and their individual needs. I’m available for additional dog-sitting work from Thursday evening through to Tuesday morning. I also have flexible hours over the weekend, as I work on dog portrait commissions. I have four years of experience walking groups of dogs and dog sitting in my home. I hold a Level 2 Canine First Aid certificate and only care for one dog at a time, allowing me to give them my full attention. I don’t have any pets of my own, so there are no other animals in the home. I’m also close to Clissold Park and Finsbury Park, providing plenty of opportunities for walks and exercise. I always aim to provide a safe, caring environment while following each owner’s instructions and their dog’s usual routine.

“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)!!”

About: Hi there! I am a law student at the University of Lincoln. However, I have always had a passion for taking care of amazing animals! I have always loved dogs and I have owned 4 beautiful dogs throughout my lifetime with my family. I have had previous experience working alongside another dog sitter Emily Kennedy in Leigh-on-Sea. We both shared clients and took care of a range of different dogs. This experience taught me a lot about dogs and myself! It taught me how much I love animals and how to care for them. I currently have a dog of my own named chase as well as a tortoise named Mint! I have lots of experience with all kinds of animals and treat them all with kindness and respect. If you give me the chance to take care of your pets I can assure you you’ll be very happy with my service! I look forward to meeting you and your lovely dog. 😊 I’m available for all week days and weekends currently as my second year has came to an end and even during 3rd year I will still have a lot of availability! When I start my third year I will update my availability to make it easier to book with me.😊 When caring for your pets I will take them on walks for as long as you would like as requested. If you live near to me we have a range of local parks or grassy areas perfect for dogs! These areas are perfect for a run around and play! However I am open to all ideas and suggestions regarding your dog. As it’s important to keep a nice routine so your dog doesn’t feel stressed or uncomfortable. If you have booked for me to stay with you’re pets in your home during the day or overnight I will make sure I have walked and fed them and made sure they’ve had the best time while you are gone! I will make sure all of your loving pets are safe and happy as well as listen to any requests you may have as the owner. This is to make sure you’re dog and you are happy and feel in good safe hands!

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 have taken care of animals both in my own home, and in family and friends houses. Most notably I have looked after Guide Dogs who are in training. Therefore, I have gained experience in how to look after, walk, stick to a routine and most importantly play with dogs and puppies in order to prepare them to go to Guide Dog training school. I am currently in my Second year at the University of Lincoln. Therefore, I can be flexible around my lesson times and especially on the weekends to care and play with your dogs! I have had experience caring for many different dogs so know that every dog is different, has different abilities and needs. I would aim to follow the dogs usual routine but can be flexible to match their current needs.

About: I have recently lost my 11 year old labradoodle who was my shadow. The house is very empty now and would love to help someone else out to give their dog the best life it can have. I am very flexible with dates and can adapt my part time work as required. I generally work from home and am able to have a dog with me. I also like to take the dog out for a coffee or beer when I am not working but will have a walk out at lunchtime in any case if working. Your dog could sit by me in my office or basically go where he/she likes (bed/garden) 😀 I work 10 days a month from home (mostly) and can change my days within reason. If I am working, your dog can sit in my office or go basically wherever they want in the house/garden. I will walk your dog morning, lunch and evening or as required, whatever they are used to.I can be available at short notice and will do what I can to help out. I am at home with my wife, both daughters have flown the nest. My garden is very secure and your dog will have the freedom of the house. No problem to sleep on the sofa or the bed if that’s preferred 😀 Our garden looks out onto our allotment where my dog used to sit and watch the wildlife go by.
