Dog Walking Lincoln

About: I have grown up with pets my entire life. From cats and dogs to rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs and spiders! My love for my animals is like no other. As soon as I left home I knew I needed to fill that dog sized hole in my life, I now have two crazy cockapoos, four rabbits and a hamster called Dora! My friends and family are always making bets on what pet I will be getting next! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m currently on maternity leave and have made the decision to leave my previous job so I can be as present as possible for my baby. This means I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, administering lots of cuddles, or simply keeping your pets company, I can easily adapt to their usual routine. I understand how important consistency is for your furry friend, so I’m happy to work around their individual needs to help them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while you’re away. I offer pet care in the owner’s home as well as dog walking, and I always make sure I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, exercise, playtime, toilet breaks, and any specific care instructions such as medication or special dietary needs. I understand how important consistency is for all animals, so I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and settled in their own environment. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and stimulation depending on what they enjoy, whether that’s walks, play, or simply companionship. Being flexible and available means I can provide reliable, attentive care and regular updates, giving owners peace of mind that their pets are happy and well looked after.

“Suzy is an absolutely outstanding dog caregiver. She has worked so patiently with our dog who has reactivity issues. Beyond being trustworthy, reliable, and knowledgeable, she brings a kindness and curiosity to her interactions with animals which is such a special thing to see. Without any hesitation, I would absolutely recommend Suzy to anyone looking for a helping hand with their pet. Thanks so much to Suzy for all of your help and support. ❤️”

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’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.

“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: 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: 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: So far I have had 20yrs of pet care experience with both my own pets and other people’s. I have looked after a range of animals such as dogs, cats, small animals etc. I aim to make animals feel comfortable in my care and, when boarding, my home is their home. I’m always happy to give pet owners regular updates and pictures to give them piece of mind while their pet is with me and I enjoy building a good rapport with both pet and owner. Age isn’t a factor when looking after any animals, I have previously fostered new born kittens and I’ve also looked after senior dogs and cats so I’m comfortable with all ages. Thanks for reading this and I hope to hear from you in the future. I currently work from home Monday to Friday and only have to go in the office occasionally for a short period of time once a month. This is great as my schedule is very flexible. I attend classes for a hour on a Monday and Tuesday night and if your dog is comfortable I'm happy to have them on these nights but please let me know if your dog doesn't like to be left alone. I have a fenced back garden and live in a semi detached house on a quiet street. I don't have any pets currently so your dog will have my undivided attention.

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.

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 (and time in between)means no pet will be left alone for more than 3hrs. 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.

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: 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: 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.

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 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: Myself and my partner, Jonah, have cared for many dogs after using borrow my doggy, caring for neighbours dogs and on Rover. The longest we cared for a 4 legged friend was 3 months, he left such a large hole in our lives that we adopted hula 3 years ago. We love taking Hula and borrowed dogs on long walkies so your pup would be in great hands for walkies and playtime. We believe that if the dogs pawrents 🐾 are on holiday, so should they. So we try to do fun and exciting activities when I looking after dogs. Such as beach days, ice cream dates and trips into town. Im currently a student and spend most days at home with Hula (Jonah) so would love to spend time with more dogs. My partner (Jess) works full time but is off at weekends to go walkies and have playtime. We have a garden with a 6ft fence/high walls so dogs cant escape, and am happy to put dogs in separate rooms or in a crate depending on your dogs needs. But we allow Hula in all rooms in the house and feel that dogs should be allowed where the humans are.

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!

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: Tim and I are an engaged couple who have had family dogs, including spaniels and labradors all of our lives and from the age of 13, Jo has trained dogs to a family pet standard. We now have our own Red Fox Labrador who is “our baby” and is trained to retrieve as a working dog. Having seen several dogs through from puppies to senior ages, we have experience in caring for dogs with age related needs and specialist diets and routines. Tim and I both currently work full-time shift related jobs which occasionally overlap. We have the ability to return home several times during shifts to toilet our own dog. However, we prefer to offer services when we are on days off to provide reassurance that your dog is properly cared for, has the attention and stimulation to not feel additionally nervous during your absence and so we can oversee any routine, structure or needs that are specific to your furry friend. We live in a detached house with a good sized, secure garden and open planned living inside which we allow the dogs to have full access too. Our only stipulation, and this applies to our own dog, is that they don’t go upstairs on the carpeted areas but a stair gate is in place to prevent this. We live on the outskirts of a village and field walks, with streams and unlimited public footpaths begin at the bottom of our street just 50m away. We also like to adventure for walks and swims to some of our favourite countryside walking spots in and around Lincoln. Our Labrador is well trained on and off lead and we encourage dogs of a similar, friendly approachable temperament but can adapt to more nervous dogs or doggies that prefer a lead walk.

“Would highly recommend Rachel to walk your dog. Professional, very considerate & good communication!”
