House Sitting Lincoln

“Maxie was great with our rescue, he struggles with anyone outside of his pack and Maxie understood this, she gave him the space he needed and tried some positive reinforcement with him! Although he was still too shy we felt so comfortable leaving him with her!”

“Leah has looked after my dogs for the last 2 weeks. I had such a lovely time knowing that they were well taken care of and happy. I had regular pupdates, including photos and videos to show that my dogs were having a great time. I also came home to clean bedding and towels and clean home”

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.

“Highly recommend Miriam for overnight pet sitting! She took great care of our golden retriever, took him out every day to play fetch, and kept us informed with photos/videos and daily updates.”

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.

“Monika was great. Met up prior to a house sit and she is lovely and friendly. The cats warmed to her and I was kept up to date as to there progress over the weekend. I would happily have her back to look after my fur babies. Thank you Monika!”

“Yet again, Bik did a great job looking after our boy. Excellent updates through the week, and we came home to a happy dog and looked after home. It really helps put our minds at rest knowing he's been looked after (including getting roast chicken treats!)”

“Wendy was brilliant, she took great care of Ralph whilst we were away for the day. He was very happy when we got back. We would highly recommend.”

“Elizabeth and Kaelin went above and beyond when looking after my old lady especially when it was their first time looking after her and at short notice. She had a poorly claw and cone on and I was concerned they may not feel comfortable cleaning her paw. They sent me several updates with pictures and videos which was lovely. Upon my return they have stripped and remade the bed, left the house spotless and even bought me some milk so I could have a cuppa after my late flight! Would highly recommend and will be using again!”

“Harriet was wonderful with Luna and Luna loved her. Luna was extremely well looked after and Harriet obviously loves dogs and enjoys her time with them. Harriet also looked after our house including putting the bins out at the appropriate time and everything was left in excellent order. I would thoroughly recommend Harriet to pet sit in their own homes. I would be very confident to have her come to Luna sit 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: I have bred 2 healthy and angelic flat coat retrievers, and have cared for many dogs. Put simply, I think dogs are THE BEST! Have a natural ability to develop good relationships with our four-legged friends. I have achieved Level 4 certificate in professional pet sitting, dog walking and dog daycare. Leaving your dog with me will not only offer care, but will be mentally stimulated, receive much attention, and be adored. You will of course receive regular updates with pictures. I can offer your family member constant care, and am almost always free to do so. Developing relationships with dogs comes as second nature to me. There are few dog breeds that I have not experienced caring for, and am confident handling larger dogs. I do not have any pets at my new London home. My two flat coat retrievers, Fleur (mother) and Bridie (daughter) are being looked after by my parents and running free around the fields of Somerset!

“Joanne was a wonderful sitter , couldn't of asked for any better would use again and highly recommend xxx”

We are very patient, friendly and understanding and more than willing to tailor our pet care to your pet's needs. One of us works part time including some from home and the other is fully from home so we have a lot of time between us to give your pet all the attention they need. We are both non-smokers.

About: I have a degree in Animal Behaviour and Welfare from Hartpury University. I also have 2 dogs and 3 cats so I have experience dog and cat sitting and dog walking. I work full time but have weekends free and after work so can still be available most days if needed and can request days of work if requested I have a garden at my house and multiple types of toys and food for different animals so I would only require any medication or specialised food that the pet needs

“We met with Angela prior to confirming our booking and the doggos were besotted from the start! We got daily updates and it gave us a peace of mind while we were away.”

“Maggie was so lovely - she came to meet the dogs before looking after them! Great communication and the doggies loved her!! Thank you so much for taking care of them xx”

Kelsey J.

“Charlotte has been amazing, she kept us up to date with photos and msgs of Bailey. This is the first time we have left him with someone other than family, he was fussy and happy when Charlotte arrived and was the same when we came home. We would definitely use Charlotte again!! Thank you for the wonderful care you gave our pup.”

About: Hi all, My name is Raquel and I am Canine Behaviourist. I have my small Business called Treat and Trail - Canine Wellness where I offer training along other services. In addition, I worked as an assistant Canine Behaviourist at Fern Ember Dog Behaviourist. My approach follows the Thinking-Dog method, build around making all pups feel comfortable, calm and connected. The idea behind this is all about the dog’s wellbeing, their safety and comfort. I previously worked as a dog walker during my time as a student, specialising in high-energetic dogs, tailoring walks to their needs and combining running sessions with enrichment activities. I owned different breeds and temperaments, from puppies to adults and seniors, including reactive dogs. Furthermore, I am comfortable with big boisterous dogs, small fearful dogs or socially anxious dogs. All of them deserve to enjoy a caring space with free of judgement where their only concern is about how much fun and care will receive. I have full availability and can take care of your canine companions. I own my home and I only share it with my two-years-old staffy cross, Freya. We are big adventure explorers and love finding muddy walks, climbing, swimming, running and jumping obstacles. I completely understand how nerve-racking it is to leave your dog with a stranger, either for an hour or a night. For this reason, my approach would always be to include a free of charge meet and greet with the dog parents, take a walk in the area together and discuss all your concerns. My priority is for your dog and yourself to feel relaxed and trust that your dog is in good hands. Additionally, I am fully insured and DBS checked. I have a fenced garden with lovely views to the dog park. My dog, Freya, and I are less than 10 minutes to the common, and we are ready for an adventure, as mentioned. If your dog is staying a night, we will need to prearrange a meeting with my dog, Freya and trial night to understand if your dog feels comfortable and wants social interactions. If booking my services as a dog-walker, I will take your dog individually if requested.

“Abigail was absolutely amazing with our Labrador Paddy over New Years Eve while we went to a wedding. She was super responsive and we felt very reassured by all the photos we were sent of their time together. She stayed in our house for us so Paddy wasn’t unsettled and she left everything perfectly tidy and neat. Thank you!”
