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.

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. 🐶🏡

“Eva was brilliant, she took Terry at short notice and from the moment he arrived he was relaxed so I had no problem leaving him. I received messages regularly which reassured me he was doing fine while with Eva. I would definitely book again if needed.”

“Remy has had the best time with Pam. Regular updates during her stay were so lovely. She was taken on long walks, treated as a family pet and obviously felt very at home. Such a nice calm environment, absolutely perfect for Remy! We will definitely be booking Remy in again and highly recommend Pam as a sitter. Thanks so much for your kindness”

Jane H.

“Used Linda on a couple of occasions now and will certainly use again in the future and recommend to family and friends. It’s always emotional leaving your fur baby behind but Linda makes us feel so reassured and keeps us updated with messages and photo’s - it’s always evident that Molly has a great time with Linda.”

“Carla and Jim looked after our dog Mila for us, they are really friendly & professional. They welcomed Mila into their home with their dog Marlow and she couldn’t have settled better. Carla and Jim looked after Mila perfectly, they sent us regular updates and photos of how Mila was getting on, so whilst we were away we knew that Mila was safe and happy. We would highly recommend Carla and Jim, they are caring, kind, thoughtful and really accommodating. We will definitely be using Carla and Jim again as we feel completely happy and safe leaving our dogs with them. Thank you again x”

“Lexie had two nights with Julie and her family. As always Julie was very flexible and welcoming. Lexie was very well taken care of and we were kept up to date with pics and texts. It was lovely not to have to worry about her at all whilst we were away and she came home very happy.”

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. I’m available for boarding at any time of the day and can fit their routine around my schedule. 🐾❤️ I take your dog’s safety and wellbeing very seriously. I have a large, fully fenced garden where they can enjoy plenty of secure outdoor time, and I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines and any specific needs. I am surrounded by plenty of green spaces and safe walking areas, giving dogs the opportunity to enjoy regular walks and exercise. I provide a calm, secure and loving home where your dog can feel safe, comfortable and well cared for.

“Dino has just returned from his two night stay with Janet and Bruce and we couldn't be any happier about how it went. Their house is perfectly geared up for doggy stays and being so close to nature and plenty of walks, works well for Dino. We were sent lots of videos and photos to show us how settled Dino was, which was particularly kind of them and they totally understood our need for this, seeing as this was his first trial stay with them. We have absolutely no doubts about him ever staying there again and he is booked to stay for three weeks next year. Thank you Janet and Bruce, we can see why you are so popular! Clare and Gavin x”

About: Hello! I’m Sarah and I have had animals from Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs and Fish since I was a child. However, now I am a pawrent to a big old softy. He is a large breed and a rescue and has come on leaps and bounds with a lot of love and patience. I have plenty of time throughout the week, I walk a lot already with my own dog who loves the outdoors. All I ask is for appropriate notice and I will do what I can to accommodate your pets needs. I leave your home the way I find it, securely locked and a happy pet. As I have my own dog, when looking after your pets in my own home, I would love to meet you and your little one before hand to introduce ourselves properly. Our pets safety takes high priority.

“This was our first time using a dog sitter, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, communication was great, and we got daily updates with pictures and videos of him playing with the other dogs — that put us at ease knowing he was enjoying himself. He came home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking again!”

Chloe H.

“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!”

About: I first became a "dog Mum" 15 years ago to our Westie, Elland, who sadly we lost recently. I sadly was that annoying "Dog Mum" who had pictures of her on my desk and booked holiday for her birthday each year. I took voluntary redundancy nearly 6 years ago so have been fortunate to spend quality time at home with her and take her out and about on our own or with her other doggy friends. Unfortunately she lost her hearing about 3 years ago so learnt quickly how to communicate with her with some basic sign language. She also developed dry eye disease so I had to administer drops 5 times each day. Two of these were determined by time so I had to ensure I was available to give her these on time. The last 5 months of her life, her arthritis worsened so I bought a buggy to help her whilst out for daily walks/sniffs. I have also looked after family dogs whilst they have been on holiday and have accomodated raw feeding for one of family dogs. I live with my husband in a bungalow. He still works but is here in the evenings and at weekends. I work during examination periods at a local college but can accomodate pet sitting around this as dates are known well in advance. My contract with the college is ona casual basis so dog sitting will be my priority. We have used a local dog sitter who stayed in our home when we went on holiday. I therefore understand the importance of providing important information to the pet sitter when leaving the pet. When I first stopped working I volunteered for a local hospice helping support a family who used their services, by walking their dog on a weekly basis to give them some respite and also encourage the dog to socilise. I did this for 12 months. I also volunteered at Wood Green Animal Charity during Covid restrictions. Although I was there to help in the fundraising office, we often had dogs who weren't settling in kennels, come and sit with us in the office for the day. Some were quite withdrawn so I learnt how to slowly gain their trust. I am retired so home all day. My husband works full time but is home in the evenings and at weekends. I do some casual exam invigilating but I know dates for this in advance so will not take on any work if pet sitting is booked. I am happy to be led by the owners on when and what activity their dog (s) are used to so am pretty flexible. I have acess to my own car so can take the dog to any appointments if required. I have a fully fenced in garden (6ft) I live in a village with lots of access to quiet walks in the countryside if required, as well as walks within the village itself. I am happy to book out local secure dog fields if agreed with the owner but this will involve driving to nearby fields. As previously mentioned we live in a bungalow so no stairs. We are based in a quiet cul-de-sac so if your dog is reactive to traffic, should not be a problm here. I have space for a medium size crate if required.

“Shaun looked after our dog Monty for a day whilst we were away. Great communication, lots of photos and updates - would definitely recommend.”

Tom S.

“Laura kept in contact about my pet daily and provided happy pictures. My dog seemed contented. Would highly recommend as a care provider and sitter.”

Karen A.

“Cannot recommend enough! We didn’t hesitate booking with Jodie. She was warm, welcoming and above all; understood animals. She was patient with both the dogs and took their best interests to heart. We were updated daily with pictures and was able to enjoy our holiday without any worry for our dogs. Jodie has a large garden and a park nearby to walk your beloved pet and I can assure anyone that their fur baby would be in the safest of hands. Edgar and Wilbur loved their stay and I think they were actually a little sad to be leaving they had so much fun Xx”

Caitlin R.

“Tracey and her daughter Carmen were brilliant with Twiglet and very accommodating to our changes in plans. She clearly had a great time exploring the local fields and area. Would 100% use again.”
