Dog Walking in West Lindsey

About: Key details... I provide daycare and overnight stays of any duration for your dog(s) in my home, dog walking and I offer a drop in service to whatever animals you have in your own home. Note: For boarding in my own home, my own dog Bonzo (7 year old very friendly lurcher) and my children will be here 80% of the time. I have owned a variety of pets (dogs, cats, donkeys, chickens, tropical fish, stick insects(!), bearded dragon), with varying degrees of special needs, either social or health problems both acute and chronic. I'm well used to medication administration and like to have a daily thorough lump and bump check pets in my care. I know what to look out for with nutrional intake changes (whether it's due to change of routine, weather changes, potential illness). I'm confident to make the judgement call whether you're pet needs a vet consulation if I'm unable to get I touch with you to discuss next steps. I own an SUV with a big boot fitted with a dog guard for safe travel of pups to dog walks/vets as required. Dogs can also travel in a seat belt secured harness in the main cabin if that's what they are used to. I am a home owner in Lincoln and host housesitters at my own home to care for 7 year old Bonzo the Lurcher so I understand how important it is that you feel confident that someone is taking excellent care of your pets. I'd expect to give you regular updates on how things are going, and send photos and videos of your fur family's antics and adventures if you wish. About me... I've been known to all of a sudden to be the owner of extra pets as I can't say no to those in need! My ex-husband still tells the story of when he got home from work one day and I handed him a carrot and said to go look in the (used as his tool shed) stable. He found his tools had been evicted and instead 2 rescue donkeys were in situ! I got my current dog in a similar situation... I picked the kids up from school one day and had 3 instead of 2 dogs in the car. They asked who Dog #3 was, and I replied that I brought him home from work as he needed a home. They didn't seem too surprised... they'd heard the donkey story a few times! I have a tonne of life experience and have worked in a variety of jobs including the armed forces, as a registered nurse in the NHS, and remotely as a Ops Coordinator (problem solving Jill of all trades!) for a Canadian Non Profit Cooperative. I'm good in an emergency, problem solve outside of the box, can think on my feet, and I like to think I'm generally an all round good egg! I hug my 12yo & 14yo animal mad sons each morning as I send them off to school with parting words of 'Be kind and have fun'. It's a pretty good motto to plan your day around so I hope I reflect that attitude when caring for your pets. I don't think I've come across an animal or creature I've not liked. Any species, any breed, they all have a wonderful uniqueness that I enjoy getting to know. I work part time from home and with my own dog at home I'm on 24 hour pet care duty. My animal loving boys (12yo & 14yo) are also often on hand to snuggle and play with your dog(s). My boys have been taught from being toddlers the varying aspects of animal care... not only feeding and toileting, but safety measures to take around animals in the home and while out walking, as well as being taught dog behaviour basics to recognise a dogs needs and wants through body language and behaviour. We live in a large 4 bedroomed house with a 6' fenced garden with 2 locked gates between the back garden and driveway. There's lots of places and snug spots for your dog to take naps... either with my dog or in a more solitary space of they prefer. There's couches and dog beds throughout downstairs and on the landing. A favourite spot is on the dog bed in the conservatory. A cold tile floor but with the warm sun on their back seems to be the no. 1 choice! I generally feed visiting dogs seperately to my own and its easy to facility this by having a separate utility room and covered outdoor area to suit all needs.

“Millie is doing a fantastic job with our dogs. They respond well to her and are very happy and tired at the end of the session.”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my whole life and have always cared deeply for them, ensuring that they are at their most comfortable. As I’ve gotten older I have been given both educational and professional experience working with all types of animals and learning about their care for the past 3 years. As I work part-time in cat and dog boarding at a kennels and cattery, I have had experience working with animals of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I am working part-time at the moment, primarily working in the late afternoon meaning that I am available for most days of the week. My availability will increase over the summer months due to the summer holiday break from college. As I have experience working with a variety of dogs and cats , I am easily adaptable and can follow any guidelines set by the pets owners, no matter how complex. As well as this, due to my experience with both older pets and younger ones, I can make sure to cater the care for each animal individually.

About: I’m a current pet momma to 2 dogs and 3 cats. I have over 15 years pet care experience. I’m happy to provide walking services, drop in services and overnight care at your home. I am CRB checked as part of my job. I offer care with confidence for your fur babies. I currently work full time but can offer care services from Friday through to Sunday. If you require any walking or drop-in services Monday to Thursday please contact me to see if I’m free. I potentially could offer you services outside my working hours. I can cater to all individual requirements for your fur baby. Please just ask or specify your requirements for care and I’ll be happy to accommodate.

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life, I’ve always had a passion working with all kinds of animals including cats, dogs and even horses! I have 4 years of animal care qualifications along with 5 years of practical experience, including working in different kennels and having my own dog grooming business back in Scotland, I work well with nervous dogs and take the time to gain their trust and make them as happy and comfortable with me as I can. I’d love to meet your pets and help however I can in my spare time. I also love photography and would love to capture your pets happiest moments! I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday with Thursdays off, I can do evenings after work or Thursday, Saturday and Sunday works best for me to dedicate the most time to your little ones. I like to spend some quality time with your pets and not just a quick drop in, I’ll stay with them and try keep everything as normal as possible for them and build a bond to reduce any stress during visits

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life but have now moved out of my family home and looking for some lovely poochies to care for to keep me company! As you can see there is a recurring little fur lady in my pictures. She is my niece Pam, an Isabella Dapple Miniature Daschund. She lives quite far from me and I miss her lots, so it would be nice to have some cuddles in the meantime from some other fluffy poochies! I am a teacher and offer pet sitting during both in the holidays and during term time. I can do pretty much any day and time, just let me know what you need! During term time weekdays please be aware that I am out of the house from 8am until 4pm at school. I don’t have a garden as I live in a quarter house but make daily trips to Twigmoor Woods and other local walking spots and I’m very active - your dog will get at least two walks a day depending on energy levels. My house is secure and always locked, even when I am in. It is a very friendly and safe neighbourhood in Kirton.

About: Hello! My name is Sara, I'm an Italian translator and I've been living in Lincoln for 14 years. I've had dogs my entire life (4 at the same time, at one point!). My beloved 13yo cavapoo, Mia, passed away in June 2024, leaving a gaping hole in my life that I'm now eager to fill by looking after other people's dogs. Mia was on heart medication for the last 2 years of her life, so I have extensive experience in administering tablets to dogs and taking care of any other special needs senior dogs may have (frequent toilet breaks, shorter walks, etc.). Conversely, I can also look after younger, more energetic dogs: I regularly look after Darcey, a 5-month-old Labrador puppy who keeps me on my toes at all times! Not to mention the lovely Renzo, an 8-month-old cockapoo who's never still! I'm a very active person who loves the outdoors - I'm a keen runner and hiker, so you can rest assured your dog will get all the exercise they need whilst in my care! I am FULLY INSURED as a dog sitter, which means you can have 100% peace of mind whenever I am walking your dog or taking care of them, either in my home or at yours. Your dog will always be the ONLY dog I look after (unless you have more than one dog living together, of course!). I believe every pooch deserves my undivided attention at all times, and that's exactly what they'll get whilst in my care. Would you like your dog to socialise more? No problem, I have friends who live nearby who are always happy to go for a walk with their lovely, well-behaved dogs, so that your pup can make new friends and get used to other pups and to being in social settings. I have recently taken sweet Rita on a long walk that culminated with Sunday lunch at the Pyewipe and she absolutely loved it! Not to mention Renzo getting all the attention at Caffè Portico during a coffee break 🥰 I live in central Lincoln and work from home. I'm self-employed and own a car, both of which give me maximum flexibility. If you need someone to stay in your house to ensure your dogs' comfort and avoid stressing them out in a new environment, I'm happy to work from your home. I can also look after them in my own house - I have a secure courtyard with a locked gate and my house is obviously dog-friendly. I'm happy for your dog to spend time on all of my soft furnishings with me, if that's what they're used to, and they will have access to every room in the house, so they can explore as they please and find the perfect spot to relax and feel comfortable in. Additionally, I'm happy to pop in for a quick visit to check on your dogs during the day and/or take them out for a long walk while you're at work. And, if it's cuddles they crave, there's plenty of those waiting for them! I absolutely love dogs and can't wait to give them all the attention they need and deserve. Do get in touch and let's get to know each other. I'd love to become someone your dog loves and looks forward to spending time with! I'm self-employed and work from home, so I'm extremely flexible in terms of schedule and location I can work from. I own a car and am happy to travel. I have a secure, enclosed courtyard with a locked, tall gate to keep your dog safe. I'd also never leave your dogs outside on their own - I always supervise them while they're outside to make sure they're safe.

“Thank you Clare for walking Maple. I'm sure she loved her treats and cuddles once back home. Also great to have pictures of her!”

Annie T.

“Hannah is punctual, communicative, calm, and generally lovely. Magnus is always happy to see her, and she has been great about learning about all his little quirks. Thanks Hannah!”

About: I have looked after dogs from puppy's to 14 years old, from Spaniels to terriers. From house sitting on my own to training. From long walks around the river to short walks. Even though I have a job it's really the animals I want to be around at all times. My job is not full time so therefore I have time to spend with animals of all sizes. I care for animals by providing food and water, enrichment, playtime, toilet time, walks, chill time. To health checking visually from a distant. Animals know who are animal people the moment they see you.

About: Hey! I’d like to offer your dog their very own staycation from home. I have experience working in kennels which helped me realise that kennels aren’t always the right option for some dogs hence why I thought I’d start doing something like this. I’ve taken care of family and friends’ dogs in the past. I like all dogs from big to small. I currently have a cockapoo of my own that is very friendly and loves meeting new people and animals. I have trained him since he was a pup (he still is a pup technically at 8 months old) and I thoroughly enjoy spending time with animals. If wanted I’ll be happy to help teach your dog a few tricks or commands during the days I’m with them. Apart from that a fun fact about me is in the future I’d like to adopt a Doberman, Rottweiler, German Shepherd and a Beagle. Any details regarding medication, training habits and food timings would need to be disclosed beforehand please. I primarily work night shifts or 3-4 hour day shifts throughout the week. However, I would only be boarding or sitting your animals on days when I am off work. In the rare instance I do have to work whilst taking care of your pet you would be informed prior to booking and there would be at least one other member of the household present at home so your pet would never fully be home alone. My dog wakes up at 6am everyday and goes into his crate at 9-10pm so a similar routine would be implemented with your dog unless otherwise told to do so. I have a big garden that is fully fenced and on the outskirts of a small woods. Your pet would have plenty of room to play and run when not on walks. We do not have any plants that are poisonous to dogs just in case they decide to eat something they find (my mum gardens and is very strict concerning this as my dog is a bit of a scavenger). I would prefer for your dog to be crate trained however I know that a lot of dogs don’t like crates so would be able to accommodate if needed.

About: With a deep passion for animals and extensive experience in animal welfare, offers dog walking and sitting services tailored to meet the unique needs of your pet. Having worked at an NGO animal rescue center in thailand at a local kennels and cattery and taking care of the animals at Pink Pig Farm, I bring a wealth of knowledge in animal care, behavior, and safety. I've personally rehomed 9 rescue dogs and cats (and four chickens!). Whether it’s a walk, a play session, or in-home sitting, your pet’s comfort, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities. I currently have unexpected availability over the next few months and so I can be very flexible. I have no holidays or time off booked over the next few months. With plenty of experience professionally house and pet sitting I can assure you I will treat your homes and your animals routines with respect and kindness. I aim to ensure I clean up after myself so you can fully relax upon your return home. I am respectful and quiet and sim to create a calming environment for your pets to relax in.

About: Hi :) I’m Nicole. Im 35 years old and I work in a full time professional role within the civil service. I live with my partner who is also an animal lover, and we have two beautiful and friendly cats called Zeus and Hades. My experience with pets has stemmed from when I was younger, I have had a range of animals including guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, fish and cats. I have had experiences with dogs, me and my ex-partner used to have a Staffordshire bull terroir together called Tyrone! He was a fun loving dog and we enjoyed getting out as much as possible to take him on adventures. When I was younger within the family home we regularly looked after a lurcher called molly. We used to take her on adventures to wales to visit family there and make use of the valleys, beaches and mountains to take her on walks. Once me and my partner are in our new home, we are getting our own loveable pup and we are looking to do home boarding also. I’m a naturalist at heart, I love to go on days out to the seaside, country parks, walking around parks in Lincolnshire and making the most of being outdoors. I have always enjoyed walking, but it is always better being in the company of a four legged friend. I thought I would give this service ago as I love animals and see this as a hobby. If I’m on house sits, it’s also a nice getaway for me too. I also see it as supporting owners by looking after their pets and it is something I enjoy doing. I love all kinds of pets from all breeds, shapes and sizes. Currently I make the most of walking and looking after my sisters dog, a gorgeous greyhound cross saluki. Very loving and lively!! Just to make people aware, I have a vehicle and I am insured fully comprehensive with a full drivers licence. I work flexible hours and I am home working the majority of the time. So I can be quite mobile and work at different places if needed for a dog/cat play and stay. I will always follow the owners regime of pet and safety care when I am looking after their beloved pets and being within their properties. I also have dog seatbelts for travelling in vehicles and they would always stay in the back. Any questions are welcome and I am happy to answer anything requested. Thanks for reading :) Nicole

About: I have always loved dogs my entire life, I've never had the ability to own my own dog so spending as much time with them as possible would be amazing. I am 23 years old and I have just completed my Level 2 City & Guilds qualification in Dog grooming with Canine Groom School. I currently work at Kendrick’s K9 Services as a fully qualified daycare assistant and groomer. I have just completed a CPD in Canine Health and First Aid with Animal Love.

I particularly loved the feeling of seeing the dogs I’d worked with and trained grow and thrive in their new homes. I've also completed work experience in places such as veterinary practices, rspca kennels & boarding, as well as dog day care & grooming and hydrotherapy. i have also had the opportunity to spend time with alaskan husky sled dogs in Norway! I have regularly puppysat an array of dogs - from a few hours to a couple of weeks and am confident around any breed or size. I also catsit & am happy to look after any species :) I love animals and would love to spend time with them. I would love to spend time looking after and playing with a pet. My closest friends tell me I have a 'natural way with animals' - I'd love to help out in any way I can! Whilst in Bristol for uni, I was able to offer boarding at my own place for over 2 years. Unfortunately now Im back home with my own 2 rabbits and 2 house cats, i am no longer able to offer boarding at my house, but would be more than willing to travel to you! I also have my own car too, so can provide transport on days out we may have! I am currently working 38 hours a week at my job at the moment! I work most Tuesdays & Wednesdays 8-6pm (with the occasional Monday) and Thursday Friday and Saturday 8:30-2:30pm, although this can extend in the event of overtime. Whilst I am unable to offer pet care at my house, I have lived in Lincoln all my life so am very familiar with great places to take animals and ensure they have the best time! All pets will be under supervision at all times. I am happy to follow routines as best as possible with your pets, and have previously built up long term bonds with both pets and owners.

About: I had a dog and cats as a child and looked after lots of friends and families pets ever since. From taking them to walks to having them stay over for a week or 2. When looking after dogs previously, it makes me so happy to see them get excited to see me again! I have 2 sons, 15 and 7, who also live with me. They have been taught how to be safe around animals ever since they were little and are very caring and attentive around them. They both love cats and dogs and are keen to get one full time. They have also enjoyed dog walks with me aswell as spending with family and friends pets. I think this would be a good way to give them some extra experience in caring for animals. I currently work part-time so have plenty of time to play and care for your lovely pets! I work 9-5 on a Wednesday, 8-4 on a Thursday and 9-3 on Fridays. All other days I'm generally free apart from popping out to do the usual chores or to go to the gym. I would be happy to look after your pet whilst I'm at work if they are OK and happy to be left for that amount of time. I will make enrichment toys to keep them occupied whilst im out of the house. Apart from a Wednesday, Thursday and friday I am available to also do drop ins and dog walks. I have a high fenced garden for your pups to enjoy. I also have a large field at the top of my street that is great for a dog walk. I do drive so if your dog is happy travelling, I would take them out on longer walks if needed. Your pets will be free to roam all areas of the house and I am happy for them to sit on the sofa with us for cuddles or sleep in my bed if that's what they are used to. It will be my main priority to make them feel safe and happy whilst they are with me. Please feel free to discuss any care your dog may need and I will do all I can to accommodate. If you require me to look after your pet in your home, I am only available on a friday evening as I have my children with me all other nights of the week.

About: Hi, I’m Ashleigh – a qualified animal enthusiast with over 8 years of experience studying and caring for animals. My passion and empathy for animals have always been a part of who I am, and from a very young age, I knew I wanted to pursue a career working with them. After leaving school, I went to college to study animals, which eventually led me to earn a BSc in Animal Behaviour & Welfare. Along the way, I’ve gained hands-on experience working and volunteering in rescue centres, daycares, zoos, aquariums, and wildlife rehabilitation. This has provided me with the amazing opportunity to work with a wide range of species – from dogs, cats, and rabbits to snakes, penguins, armadillos, octopuses, and rhinos! After a short break from studying, I’ll soon be starting an MRes in Animal Behaviour & Welfare, and my research will be centred around reptile cognition. I am committed to building on my understanding of how and why animals think and behave the way they do. Understanding an animals behaviour isn’t just fascinating – it’s essential to providing the best possible care and building trust-based relationships. Driven by my knowledge and lifelong passion for animals, I began offering my own services some time ago to just a few clients alongside my work and studies. I’ve now decided to take the next step and officially launch Tails & Scales Pet Care – providing trustworthy, personalised care for pets of all shapes and sizes. Services I provide: 🐕‍🦺 Solo dog walk – dedicated one-on-one time tailored to your dog’s needs 🐇 Pet sitting – in-home care while you’re away, keeping your pets comfortable in their own space 🐈 Drop-in visits – check-ins for feeding, playtime, company, and a toilet break 🐢 Experienced care for scaly, slimy, feathery, and creepy-crawly pets Whether you need regular walks, a one-off pet sit, or the occasional drop-in visit, I’m here to make life easier for you and more comfortable for your animals. Every pet I care for is treated like one of my own – no matter their shape, size, or quirks. I am a full-time pet sitter/dog walker. I will try my best to be available for any requests and to meet your needs - just ask! I only offer 1-2-1 care, or care for pets from the same household for safety reasons, and to ensure every animal in my care is getting the necessary attention and devotion! Happy to follow safe and sensible owner instruction regarding care and routine for your animal/s in your own home. Rates on this platform differ slightly from my direct bookings due to Rover platform requirements.

About: I've had pets all my life including dogs, cats and rats, I've helped to take care of and train friends pets, I have an undergraduate degree in Bioveterinary science. I'm available most days and times as I'm currently doing a masters degree, I can be extremely flexible with my availability provided I have enough notice. I'm happy to follow your exact instructions to keep your pet as safe as possible such as keeping them on the lead or putting them in their crate.

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and various breeds. I’ve grown up with large dogs such as huskies and elkhounds to small breeds like westies and a miniature schnauzer who was living with me however unfortunately passed away recently. I’ve pet sat and dog walked in the past. I own a cute bengal cat who is a year old and extremely friendly, she is out roaming around 90% of the time, the other 10% is sleeping on the bed or sofa so she’s very relaxed. If your pet isn’t keen on cats we have the space to separate them in different parts of the house for the duration of their stay! I live with my boyfriend in Addlestone; I work part time and have a very flexible job and my partner works remotely from home full time as a technology consultant. Due to our flexible work schedule, I can accommodate any time of day to suit you whilst offering dog walks during the day as many times as you desire and giving frequent toilet breaks. I live right next to a river which is a lovely walk for dogs, I also can drive to lots of open green spaces in the local area where dogs can roam around. I have a fenced garden and excellent home security, I have a ring doorbell to the front of my house and a sensor security camera in the garden which runs 24/7 to ensure the safety of your pets. Having had dogs all my life, and looking after family and friends dogs and cats, I understand the levels of care and safety which they require and always listen to the owners wishes.
