Pet Boarding Over

“Mariana did a wonderful job looking after my dog Cosmo when he stayed with her. She sent me lots of photos and I could see how well her and her family were looking after him. I could tell she cared about Cosmo and she even bathed him (after checking with us first) so he was super clean when we collected him. I would definitely send Cosmo to Mariana again in the future.”

“Rocio is a wonderful sitter — she is very kind and cares for Jujube deeply. We appreciate that Rocio provides us with pictures and updates throughout the day and it’s clear that Jujube loves her company!”

“Terry was fantastic - took great care to make sure Ted had a good week with him, including asking questions beforehand about Ted’s likes & dislikes, and taking him on lots of great walks. Ted bonded really well with Terry, and it was good to know he was being so well cared for while I was away.”

About: I have cared for two dogs for 18 years of my life - a Jack Russel named Ralph and a Collie cross Lab named Martha. When I was 16, obtained a Level 3 qualification in Animal Management at Shuttleworth College. Here, I acquired husbandry skills for a wide range of animals such as reptiles and exotics to goats and wallabies. I graduated from the University of Lincoln this year with a first class with honours degree in Animal Behaviour and Welfare. I cared for and trained several dogs through the university. I further worked full time at a Doggy Day Care for 4 months - walking all breeds and sizes!! Currently, I am studying MSc Clinical Animal Behaviour at Lincoln, with hopes of becoming an accredited clinical animal behaviourist. I am currently completing this Masters by attending lectures every Monday and Tuesday. I am looking to work between Wednesdays and Fridays as this best fits my study schedule. Within an owner’s home, I will follow all instructions provided, keeping their pets in a safe environment at all times and only using positive reinforcement techniques.

“Lauren was amazing with our puppy, Summer. She's 4 months old and this is her first time boarding so I was quite worried initially. Turns out that she loves Lauren and her home so much that she almost didn't want to leave. Thank you Lauren for taking such good care of her!”

“Our dog Levi had a lot of fun staying at Ewelina's house for a few days. He got along with her dogs and had a lot of walks and cuddles. Thank you so much Ewelina, we'll be sure to be back”

“We are so grateful to Claire and Ross for looking after Ava so well and like one of their own. She had a great holiday with them and Syd! We had a great holiday knowing she was being so well cared for, we enjoyed the regular updates, photos and videos of her enjoying her time with them - thank you both so much!”

“I have an anxious 12 year old Yorkie that takes a while to warm up to new people and places. She also gets seizures occasionally. Katherine welcomed her with open arms and took such good care of her, taking her on daily walks, letting her sleep on the beds and couches, making sure she had her medication and giving her space and cuddles when needed. She sent me regular updates about Hayley so I had peace of mind that she was settling in and enjoying her time with her temporary new family. When it was time to fetch her she looked sad to leave! Would recommend Katherine to anyone who wants their doggy to be treated like part of the family and not have to worry about a thing”

“We needed Cooper looking after for my works Christmas do. Having only recently got Cooper it was our first time leaving him. Marcus and Cheryl made us feel instantly relaxed and welcomed Cooper straight into their home on the meet and greet. They put our minds at rest and were extremely flexible for us, making sure we had a good night and Cooper was looked after. We got regular photos and couldn't have asked for more. Really impressed and also very much appreciate it. Very highly recommend and only have good things to say!!”

“Jess was a great sitter. She made Orion feel at home. Orion suffered from separation anxiety white there, Jess communicated very well to make Orion feel comfortable. She kept me updated regularly and that made me feel very comfortable. If you looking for a sitter that will give your pet a home away from, book Jess. I'll definitely be booking her again.”

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.

“Larissa was great with our dog Mo. He was happy and well taken care of while we were away, and she sent regular updates during his stay. Would rebook again with Larissa in the future.”

“Wade and Michelle took amazing care of our very nervous and quite high maintenance dog, Cookie. They very kindly met Cookie in advance, and during the stay sent regular updates and photos of them on walks and snuggling on the sofa. They are a lovely family and we will be using them again.”

“Damary loved watching Zellah !! Firstly , she accepted my last minute booking request for Zellah when other plans fell through :/ she made Zellah feel at home and when I picked Zellah up she seemed very happy and comfortable around Damary ,so there's no doubt Zellah was treated like she was on her own little vacation . Overall I would definitely book her again .:) thank you for treating her like the little princess she is !!”

“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.”

About: Animal lover who is a fur mum to a 7 month old border collie puppy and a hamster. I have been around animals all of my life and successfully trained my puppy commands and not to react to other dogs. Let me take your puppy on long walks and send you pictures of their cute smiley face! I am currently working full time but hoping to go part time depending on requests. I can be flexible throughout weekday mornings and nights, as well as throughout the weekend! I would ask questions for more information on your personal routines with your pet and follow what they are used to with lots of love.

“Tahiana looked after my dog Percy for 4 days and did a fabulous job! Great communication, and my dog loved his time at her place. Could not recommend more!”
