Pet Boarding Marshland St James

About: I offer a cosy, country home-from-home for dogs in beautiful rural Lincolnshire, where your dog becomes part of the family rather than simply staying somewhere. I am retired so all of my time can be devoted to looking after your dogs and making sure you get plenty of pictures and videos so that you can rest assured they are having just as good a holiday as you! 🏡 A real home-from-home Dogs stay in my family home and enjoy plenty of love, company and attention throughout their stay. For dogs who prefer a little peace and quiet, we also have the option of a separate bedroom where they can retreat and relax in their own space. 🐾 Six acres of secure space Every day includes supervised play and exercise in our fantastic six-acre secure paddock, giving dogs plenty of room to run, sniff, explore and enjoy themselves safely. ❤️ Individual care and attention. I understand that every dog is different. Some love being in the middle of everything, while others need a little more downtime. I take the time to get to know each dog and make their stay as relaxed, happy and enjoyable as possible. My aim is simple: for your dog to have a wonderful holiday of their own while you can relax knowing they’re safe, cared for and having fun. If you’re looking for more than traditional kennels and want a genuine home-from-home experience in the Lincolnshire countryside, I’d love to welcome your dog into my home. 🐾 I am retired so spend all day at home! Every day is centred around making your dog feel happy, settled and part of the family. I keep things homely, relaxed and personal, rather than following a one-size-fits-all routine. My priority is that every dog feels safe, loved and completely at home while they’re staying with me. ❤️ Your dog’s safety and happiness is my top priority. My home is a calm, cosy country home where dogs can relax, feel secure and enjoy plenty of space. I have two friendly dogs of my own, who are an important part of my family. They can help new arrivals settle in, feel comfortable and quickly discover that they’re staying somewhere that feels like home. ❤️ Dogs are always carefully supervised, particularly when enjoying our six-acre secure paddock, and I take the time to understand each dog’s individual personality, needs and routine. For dogs who need a little extra space or quiet time, I also have the option of a separate bedrooms, so they always have somewhere peaceful to retreat to. It’s all about creating a safe, relaxed and loving environment where your dog can enjoy their stay and you can have complete peace of mind. 🐶🏡

About: I've had pets since I was a small girl. I grew up with labradors, cats, rabbits and gerbils. It was only once i'd turned 30 I realised I wanted to be a veterinary nurse. I obtained my qualification December 2024 and was put on the RCVS register 2025. If you need help on an ad hoc basis and my availability fits with what you need, I'd love to be able to help you and your fur baby. I have Wednesdays off most weeks and have two days off either side of a weekend when I work them. The days I am off I am able to be home the whole time I have a fenced garden and a 10 and a half year old cavalier king charles spaniel that loves making new friends. He goes out for small walks but I am more than happy to go for long walks if thats what your fur baby needs

“This was the first time I’ve left my puppy overnight and I was apprehensive. Linda calmed me on our initial meeting and when it came to leaving her. She kept me updated and sent lovely photos. Paisley was extremely well cared for and spoilt with attention. I would certainly ask Linda to look after Paisley again and would highly recommend her to all.”

“Sarah and family looked after my dog very well. My dog got a lot of exercise and mental stimulation. In photos, my dog looked like he was enjoying himself.”

“Absolutely perfect, from the meet and greet to the professional yet warm nature of the communications. Derek has had THE Best time with Carmen and Luna, we’re already looking to book his next holiday! Thank you so so much for taking great care of our Boy.”

Samantha M.

“This was our first and definitely not our last experience of booking a sitter. After the initial communication we arranged a visit to ensure Bonnie would feel happy to stay away for the night. The sitters were friendly, attentive and showed a great love for dogs. We would definitely recommend anyone to book and would have no concerns to have Bonnie stay here again. Thank you for taking good care of Bonnie while we went to watch Oasis.”

Jo W.

“First time we’ve used Rover, it was a last minute booking. Visited Jodie ahead of staying and immediately knew our two dogs would be happy with them and Jodie was very friendly and welcoming. Kept in touch while we were away with texts and photos. Very responsive and flexible. Jodie coped with our active 18month old dog!! Would have no hesitation in recommending Jodie. Would definitely use her again.”

“Eva was absolutely amazing with Luna! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She kept us updated throughout the stay with photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Luna can be a little particular about her routine, but Eva followed all of our instructions perfectly and treated her like she was part of her own family. When I picked Luna up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that she received plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles during her stay. Finding someone you trust with your dog is priceless, and Eva exceeded every expectation. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. Luna can’t wait for her next stay with Eva! Thank you again, Eva, for taking such wonderful care of my girl!”

“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Kim for our 1 year old lexi, it was clear when we had a pre meet with Kim and her own 3 adorable dogs how much love and care lexi would receive. During her 5 day stay we were kept updated with pics etc, lexi was treated with walks in the woods and visits to the beach and lexi looked so happy enjoying her break, she was relaxed and had truly bonded with Kim and her dogs,Kim's love for dogs really stood out. I can highly recommend Kim to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Lexi will definitely be going back next time we go away. Once again thank you Kim Gary rasa and lexi.”

About: I have had animals all my life. I have a genuine love of taking care of them. I have experience with Dogs, Cats, Guinea Pigs and horses. I currently own two dogs, a cat, Guinea pigs and two ponies. I have worked with animals most of my life. I worked for the animal charity Wood Green Animal Shelter on field section, worked at a dog kennels, cattery and also worked in the hospitality industry. I have a clean driving licence. I have good knowledge of taking care of a variety of animals which has given me the experience and knowledge needed. I love the psychology of animals and understanding their body language. I am a single mum of three daughters. Two go to work and one is disabled and goes to a fantastic school in Alconbury near Huntingdon. So im at home alone a lot. I have been looking for a job that can is flexible and active but also to do something I love and have experience doing. I have a lot of free so this type of work suits me down to the ground. My home has a big garden that is fully fenced all the way round. I have tiled floors indoors which is easy cleaning. My house is open plan but I do have a utility room for a quiet place.

“Pam was fantastic. Took my booking just 2 hours before dropping charlie off. I had pictures throughout the day, he loved his time with you guys!”

Darren N.

“Sewwandi did such a great job with Bevo. They sent several pictures & videos and she communicated a lot with us providing updates throughout the day. Bevo didn’t have time to miss us between the walks and play time with their sweet little Boston, Poppy. They sent a few updates that let us know they were treating Bevo like she was their own. A week or so after her stay, we bumped into Sewwandi on a walk and Bevo lost her mind she was so excited to see her! I would recommend Sewwandi to anyone looking for a Rover!”

Bailey S.

“Our dogs have just spent their first over night with Janet and Bruce and they were just great . Lots of photos to reassure me the dogs had settled and I know our dogs were in good experienced hands I am already looking to book another date”

Kathryn H.

“Ayesha was absolutely amazing. She stepped in and accepted our booking for a 2-night overnight stay with less than 24 hours’ notice after another sitter cancelled at the last minute, which was such a relief. Our dog has separation anxiety and usually struggles being left with new people, but from the moment we dropped him off it was clear he was in safe, caring hands. Even after a difficult first night, Ayesha handled everything so patiently and professionally, and he settled really well the following day. She kept us updated throughout with regular messages, videos, and photos, which really put our minds at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter.”

About: I grew up with dogs, so I understand the love, care and responsibility they need. I'd love to welcome your dog into our family and make sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away. 🐶❤️ I work from home with flexible hours, so I can take breaks throughout the day to give your dog plenty of attention, walks and company.

“Issy had a wonderful time with Shaun and his family.he was excellent with our energetic Staffie and we were really confident leaving her with him. They supported our routines as well as including her in their family life. He sent regular updates and the meet and greet beforehand was really beneficial and made us feel really comfortable that she would be well cared for. A very experienced family who looked after our Issy really well.10/10 would recommend.”

“Carla and Jim looked after our 6 month old puppy for the weekend and we couldn’t have been happier with the love and care our Betsy received. We had lots of pupdates with pictures and could see our fur baby was really cared for. We will definitely be using these lovely people again and would highly recommend them.”
