“Megan was amazing from start to finish. She quickly responded to my messages and was clear with her communication throughout. I’d never left Ronnie with anyone outside of my family before and she suggested a meet and greet so I’d be confident when leaving him. I couldn’t have been more confident when walking away, her and her partner were so lovely and accommodating. Ronnie had the best time with them and I received regular photos of him throughout the week - he loved Bella their gorgeous dog so much - I was a little nervous he wouldn’t want to come home!!! Id recommend them everyone and would happily have Ronnie stay with them the next time we need.”
“Bella had a lovely time staying with Ellie and her partner. Ellie kept us updated with pictures and messages and Bella was really well looked after. We will be booking them again for sure!”
“Stanley our gorgeous Yorkipoo had his first little holiday with Andrea and thoroughly enjoyed himself. He settled straight away which is testimony to Andrea's love of dogs. We will definitely be booking again and would highly recommend.”
“Dotty had a great time i had regular updates with photos which was lovely. Rob and his wife are lovely they looked after dotty as if she was their own. I don’t think she wanted to come home!”
“Jayne is a knowledgeable person, who clearly loves dogs. She came ro meet our dog& showed affection in the same we that we do. At the start of our dogs stay we were regularly updated whilst on our holiday, with photos and messages. We felt happy with the contact and care our dog received 😊 The distance between us was shortened by Jayne collecting& also dropping off our dog at our home. We can 100% recommend her& husband as genuine dog lovers& great boarders with a history of caring for dogs from all backgrounds. We would not hesitate to book again”
“Millicent was fantastic from the first message! She replied to my booking request in a timely manner, which was extra appreciated considering the short notice. Due to this being Freddie’s first night away from home I was quite nervous and Millicent was so kind throughout the whole process, even offering for us to come the day prior for Fred (and myself) to meet her so we both would have a sense of where he would be staying. Throughout his stay I was provided multiple updates with pictures and I can safely say Freddie looked to have an amazing time, receiving plenty of cuddles! I was very nervous as Freddie is a big dog who doesn’t know his own size and strength, but Millicent was absolutely fantastic with him and I trust her completely. Will be my go to petter sitter moving on 💕🐾”
“Emma has been amazing with Wilbur our 9 month old pup. We were extremely worried about our first time leaving him but after our first visit to meet Emma we knew he completely in safe hands! Emma made sure we had regular updates and lots of photos and has really made him one of her own this last few days! Big thankyou Emma and family! X”
About: As a pet owner, it is important to provide your pet with proper care and attention. This includes ensuring they have a balanced diet, regular exercise, and access to fresh water. Grooming, including brushing and bathing, helps keep them clean and healthy. Providing mental stimulation through playtime and toys is important for their well-being. Lastly, showing them love, care, and affection contributes to their happiness. I will tailor their care based on their specific needs. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays talk to me then we can arrange time. As a pet care provider, safety, trust and the environment are my top priorities when caring for animals in both my home and the pet owner's home. Here are some key aspects of how I look after their well-being: 1. Security: I create a safe environment by pet-proofing my home or a designated area in a pet owner's home. This includes removing any hazardous items, securing electrical wiring, and ensuring there are no harmful plants or substances within reach. 2. Trust: Building trust with animals is essential. I take the time to get to know them, understand their needs and provide them with a calm and nurturing environment. I use positive reinforcement techniques to reinforce good behavior and build a strong bond with it. 3. Environment: I strive to provide animals with a comfortable and stimulating environment. This includes providing comfortable bedding, access to clean water and a designated place to eat. I also provide toys and engage in interactive play to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. 4. Regular exercise: I provide animals with regular exercise tailored to their specific needs. This may include walking, playing and other physical activities to keep them active and healthy. 5. Feeding: I follow the pet owner's instructions regarding feeding schedule and dietary requirements. I ensure that meals are delivered on time and that food is properly stored to maintain freshness and prevent contamination. 6. Hygiene: I maintain good hygiene by regularly cleaning and sanitizing the pet's living area, including its bedding, litter box or other designated area. I also follow personal hygiene rules, e.g. washing my hands before and after contact with animals. 7. Communication: I maintain open and transparent communication with the pet owner. This includes providing updates on your pet's welfare, any concerns or observations, and promptly responding to any questions or requests you may have. Overall, my goal is to provide animals with a safe, comfortable and loving environment, whether that is my home or the pet owner's home. Their well-being is my priority and I make every effort to ensure that they are happy and healthy while in my care.
“Thanks for looking after Jessie 🥰 I’ve got a tired beagle which is very impressive!!!! Communication was great and I knew she was in good hands, bonus points for the big garden for Jessie to run around in!”
“Jake was fantastic. Gladys had a lovely sleepover and enjoyed the company of Piper. 100% recommended. Gorgeous rural setting with big garden. I'm just sorry Gladys had an accident in the house. She always seems to do it in other people's houses! Thanks so much. I'll be booking her in again.”
“Paul is very friendly and knowledgeable. Chip had a wonderful time with him. I felt that Chip was made to feel part of the family. I was kept well informed about what Chip was doing and how he was getting on. I would thoroughly recommend Paul to anyone.”
“Pompeo was super helpful when I needed to change the plans for Stanley’s care, He kept Stanley entertained and happy and me regularly updated. I could tell stanley was in good hands, and being very well looked after! Thank you”
“joshua and his partner was amazing with my dogs, we got updates throughout the stay and overall the dogs were happy and comfortable. they both have great experience and definitely people i trust with my pets going forward.”
About: A loving home away from home 🐾 Hi! I’m Meg, and I’d love to welcome your dog into our home while you’re away. I have my own lovely dog, Lenny, who is incredibly friendly and gets on brilliantly with other dogs, so your pup will have a built-in best friend during their stay. We have a beautiful, secure garden with plenty of space to play and enjoy some fresh air, and we’re also right next to the Common, so we have gorgeous open spaces and fantastic walking routes literally on our doorstep. It’s perfect for dogs who love a good walk and a chance to explore! Dogs are very much treated as part of the family here. I’m attentive, caring and will make sure your dog gets plenty of fuss, company and attention throughout their stay. I’ll also stick to their usual routine as much as possible, including feeding, walks and any little quirks or requirements they have. I know leaving your dog with someone else can feel daunting, so I’m happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can see how they’re getting on and have complete peace of mind while you’re away. Lenny is very sociable and loves having other dogs around, so we’re ideally suited to dogs who enjoy company and would benefit from a relaxed, loving home-from-home environment. Your dog will get plenty of love, attention, walks, garden time and cuddles — and hopefully leave having made a new four-legged best friend too! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have my own dog, Lenny, so I’m already used to getting out for a good walk every day. We’re lucky enough to live right by the Common, which is perfect for lovely walks and plenty of fresh air. I also have a beautiful garden where dogs can safely play, sniff and relax throughout the day. In the evenings, we always have another little garden outing before bed, followed by plenty of sofa cuddles and downtime. I’m happy to build my routine around the needs of the dogs in my care and make sure they get lots of attention, exercise and company. As a dog owner myself, I completely understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires a huge amount of trust. Lenny is a big part of our family, so I would treat every dog in my care exactly the same way — with lots of love, patience and attention. Safety would always be my top priority. I’m very conscious of keeping dogs secure on walks, particularly around roads and unfamiliar environments, and would always follow an owner’s instructions around leads, recall and off-lead walking. At home, we have a lovely enclosed garden where dogs can play and relax safely, as well as plenty of space for them to settle. I’m also happy to keep owners updated with photos and messages so you know your dog is happy, safe and being well looked after while you’re away. Most importantly, I want dogs staying with me to feel at home — whether that means a long walk on the Common, playing in the garden or curling up on the sofa for a cuddle.

“Holly was fantastic and we couldn’t have asked for better care for our puppy Otis. We received regular updates and photos of how he was getting on and upon collecting Otis he seemed calm and very happy. Holly and her family were amazing and we feel we have found Otis’s new second home for when we go away. Thank you Holly!”

She is fantastic with dogs and looked after Frankie when things weren't right for him, she could not have done anything more and we both agreed that in the best interest of Frankie that I picked him up a day early. I can assure everyone your dog will be highly looked after with Jade.”
“After Sarah agreed to look after Henry. We went to meet her and her husband Bob. Henry took an instant liking to both. We went back for a second meet, Henry ran straight upto them and into the house and made himself at home. I had no doubts what so ever leaving him with Sarah and Bob. Sarah sent photos of Henry, he looked happy and at home. I can't recommend Sarah enough to look after your dog. He will be so well looked after. Will certainly be booking Henry in again.

“Jess was super reliable, came to the house the day before the booking to collect keys and do a 'handover'. Great communication from start to finish, including photos and videos each day. Our cats loved Jess, even the shy one! A huge peace of mind knowing she was taking care of them. Thanks Jess!”
“I arranged for Bethany to drop in for an hour and walk our Patterdale Terrier when we were out for the day. She came to meet him a couple of days before and asked about his routine etc. She came on the day as arranged and walked him and fed him. She sent updates and asked questions regarding his food, and let us know he was all good. Thank you - very happy x”

About: As a lifelong pet owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves adventures, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and at home. 🐾❤️ Healthcare professionals can leave their dog with me for their 12hour+ shifts. I am a nurse and I understand the difficulties in accessing daycare that works for you. _________________ Important: As I have my own dog, I can only accept dogs that are friendly and comfortable around other dogs. For the safety and wellbeing of all pets in my care, dogs must be neutered/spayed. I also require a meet and greet before any booking to ensure the dogs are comfortable with each other and that your pet will be happy, relaxed, and safe in my home. I carefully manage introductions and household spaces so that all animals in my care can feel safe, relaxed, and secure. I live with my dog, Simba, and my 17-year-old cat, Tiger, so my routine naturally revolves around caring for them, including walks, feeding, playtime, enrichment, grooming, and making sure they are happy and comfortable. I work at an hospital, and my pet-sitting availability varies weekly so please check my calender. I’m used to planning my days around animals’ needs and routines, and I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and companionship. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and caring for them is something I do because I love it, not just as a service. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, and care while they’re with me. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in my home, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced garden for dogs to enjoy supervised outdoor time, and my home is a calm, pet-friendly environment. For added security, I also have CCTV covering the property. I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medication, routines, and any specific requirements. I understand that pets can feel unsettled when away from home, so I do my best to maintain their usual routine and provide plenty of attention, reassurance, and enrichment. I live with my friendly dog, Simba, and my 17-year-old cat, Tiger, so I’m experienced in managing a multi-pet household and recognising individual needs and personalities. I’ll ensure pets are fed, exercised, kept company, and cared for according to their normal routine, while also providing updates and photos for peace of mind. 🐾❤️
“Rhianne was kind enough to agree to look after my three pups for two days and they had a great time…so much so that they were a more than a little bit reluctant to come home with me when I collected them. Clear to me that she really cares and gives any dogs she looks after loads of attention including plenty of cuddles. Would definitely recommend and my dogs will definitely be visiting her again in the future.”
“Natalie is lovely and we were very impressed at the care She showed Lexi. Lexi can be quite stressed with new situations but Natalie's calmness really settled her. The photos showed how She enjoyed her time with her! We would definitely recommend Natalie as a competent dog sitter”
“Excellent! Super caring and supportive of what Archie needs, and we only need to look at how excited Archie is to see Colin and the lovely pictures we receive to know how much he enjoys it!”
About: I have plenty of experience caring for dogs through looking after my own dog, Max, back home, who I have taken full responsibility for. I have also regularly cared for dogs belonging to friends and family, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines and needs. I’m an active person and really enjoy going on long walks. I previously had a Whippet, so I’m used to keeping dogs active and making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention and stimulation. Most importantly, I’m caring, patient and responsible, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I am currently a university student, but I have a flexible schedule and am free for most of the day. My university commitments are generally manageable, which means I can fit pet care around my studies. I’m able to be flexible with timings and can dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, feeding and giving pets the attention they need. I always make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable and cared for, whether they are staying in my home or I am looking after them in their own home. My previous dog was a Whippet, so I understand that they can be very affectionate and often love plenty of attention, cuddles and companionship. This has taught me the importance of being patient, attentive and understanding each dog’s individual personality and needs. I would make sure pets have a calm and secure environment, with regular walks, playtime, feeding and plenty of attention. I also understand the importance of following the owner’s routine and instructions, as keeping pets comfortable in their normal routine helps them settle in. I’m responsible and always keep a close eye on dogs during walks and outings, while giving them lots of love and reassurance.
“Liberty has been to Brandy’s twice now for daycare. She is kind, attentive and knowledgable and sends picture and video updates throughout the day. Liberty was nervous to go to daycare at first but on the second day she was excited and had her tail wagging when we arrived. I would definitely recommend Brandy’s services.”
“Absolutely wonderful. My boy was so happy there that the second day he didn't even worry that I was leaving. I felt completely confident and he felt completely relaxed. Knowledgeable, friendly, and two pairs of absolutely safe hands - can't recommend highly enough.”
“Sarah and her husband are a lovely couple with a lovely house and a lovely garden. The place is a very nippy drive from the centre of Lincoln and you get stunning views of the Cathedral on the way. They clearly adore animals and Sparky had a wonderful time. I wasn't expecting her to be walked because Sparky is very strong willed and rarely allows anyone else but me to walk her. However, Sarah struck up a strong rapport and did take her out. Brilliant care and very happy with all she did for her whilst I was working. An easy 5 star rating.”

About: I have owned a miniature dachshund for 3 years who has regular walks as well as mental stimulation such as sniffer mats, trick training and licki-mats. I will never give treats unless owner specifically tells me that it is okay and will always ask about allergies. If your pet is comfortable with being brushed I'm also happy to do grooming to help keep on top of their coat condition. I like working with young dogs, but I will never so no to an older pet who just wants to cuddle on the sofa. I'm new to sitting for others and my experience is simply caring for my own dog. I can work most days and times as this is my job. I may require some days off due to family commitments, but other than that I am open most days. I will come to your home to care for your pets. I can make sure indoor pets are kept secure and happy and allow outdoor cats freedom. I can walk dogs for 30 minutes, but if you need 60 minute walks I can accommodate.

I have also cared for animals in a professional capacity, having worked at various zoos and farms in addition to colleges and universities, where I have helped to educate students about animal care and husbandry. Most recently I have been offering dog walking and pet sitting services to family friends and have loved the experience, which is why I am extending my offer for dog walking on here!

I will offer your dogs my one-to-one attention, as I will only walk dogs from a single household at once. This means your dog will have all of my love and they will get more time to play and sniff around without the stress of having other dogs around. I will always keep your dog on a lead for their own safety.
About: Hi, I'm Olivia, the owner of Olive & Leash.

I am DBS checked, qualified, and fully insured, and I always put animal welfare at the heart of everything I do. Whether I'm walking your dog, providing drop-in visits, or pet sitting, you can trust that your pet will be treated with the same love, patience, and care that I would give my own. 🐾 Professional, reliable, and passionate about animal welfare – ensuring every pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. 💚 As a full-time university student studying a BSc (Hons) Animal Behaviour and Welfare, animals are a huge part of both my academic and personal life.

My main availability is all day Saturday and Sunday, making weekends ideal for dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and regular bookings. I am also available around my university schedule during the week whenever possible. Being a student means I am organised, responsible, and able to plan my time effectively, ensuring every pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. 🐾 Animal welfare is at the centre of both my studies and everyday life, so you can be confident your pet is in caring and capable hands Your pet's safety, wellbeing, and happiness are always my top priorities. As a DBS-checked, qualified, and insured pet care provider, I understand the importance of building trust with both pets and their owners. I take the time to get to know each animal's individual personality, routine, and needs through a free meet-and-greet before providing any services. This helps ensure your pet feels comfortable and allows me to provide the best possible care tailored to them. All dogs are walked on lead unless owners have specifically requested otherwise and it is safe to do so. I carefully assess every situation and environment to ensure walks are enjoyable, secure, and suitable for your dog's age, temperament, and fitness level. As a student studying Animal Behaviour and Welfare, I have a strong understanding of animal body language and behaviour, allowing me to recognise signs of stress, fear, or discomfort and respond appropriately. Combined with my volunteering experience in wildlife, farm, grooming, and conservation settings, I am confident handling a variety of animals and situations. I will always treat your home with respect, follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. 🐾 Safe care, trusted service, and a welfare-first approach for every pet. 💚

We have a brick wall around our house and a fully equipped security system with 2 way audio cameras, Night-vision and Spotlights to ensure safety at all times My dog is like the ‘mother hen’ around other animals including smaller animals such as hamsters, bearded dragons and even kittens. Towards other dogs she is very bouncy and playful but also dominant, with lots of energy she always wants to play !

“Bella had a lovely time staying with Ellie and her partner. Ellie kept us updated with pictures and messages and Bella was really well looked after. We will be booking them again for sure!”
“Stanley our gorgeous Yorkipoo had his first little holiday with Andrea and thoroughly enjoyed himself. He settled straight away which is testimony to Andrea's love of dogs. We will definitely be booking again and would highly recommend.”
“Jayne is a knowledgeable person, who clearly loves dogs. She came ro meet our dog& showed affection in the same we that we do. At the start of our dogs stay we were regularly updated whilst on our holiday, with photos and messages. We felt happy with the contact and care our dog received 😊 The distance between us was shortened by Jayne collecting& also dropping off our dog at our home. We can 100% recommend her& husband as genuine dog lovers& great boarders with a history of caring for dogs from all backgrounds. We would not hesitate to book again”
“Millicent was fantastic from the first message! She replied to my booking request in a timely manner, which was extra appreciated considering the short notice. Due to this being Freddie’s first night away from home I was quite nervous and Millicent was so kind throughout the whole process, even offering for us to come the day prior for Fred (and myself) to meet her so we both would have a sense of where he would be staying. Throughout his stay I was provided multiple updates with pictures and I can safely say Freddie looked to have an amazing time, receiving plenty of cuddles! I was very nervous as Freddie is a big dog who doesn’t know his own size and strength, but Millicent was absolutely fantastic with him and I trust her completely. Will be my go to petter sitter moving on 💕🐾”
About: As a pet owner, it is important to provide your pet with proper care and attention. This includes ensuring they have a balanced diet, regular exercise, and access to fresh water. Grooming, including brushing and bathing, helps keep them clean and healthy. Providing mental stimulation through playtime and toys is important for their well-being. Lastly, showing them love, care, and affection contributes to their happiness. I will tailor their care based on their specific needs. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays talk to me then we can arrange time. As a pet care provider, safety, trust and the environment are my top priorities when caring for animals in both my home and the pet owner's home. Here are some key aspects of how I look after their well-being: 1. Security: I create a safe environment by pet-proofing my home or a designated area in a pet owner's home. This includes removing any hazardous items, securing electrical wiring, and ensuring there are no harmful plants or substances within reach. 2. Trust: Building trust with animals is essential. I take the time to get to know them, understand their needs and provide them with a calm and nurturing environment. I use positive reinforcement techniques to reinforce good behavior and build a strong bond with it. 3. Environment: I strive to provide animals with a comfortable and stimulating environment. This includes providing comfortable bedding, access to clean water and a designated place to eat. I also provide toys and engage in interactive play to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. 4. Regular exercise: I provide animals with regular exercise tailored to their specific needs. This may include walking, playing and other physical activities to keep them active and healthy. 5. Feeding: I follow the pet owner's instructions regarding feeding schedule and dietary requirements. I ensure that meals are delivered on time and that food is properly stored to maintain freshness and prevent contamination. 6. Hygiene: I maintain good hygiene by regularly cleaning and sanitizing the pet's living area, including its bedding, litter box or other designated area. I also follow personal hygiene rules, e.g. washing my hands before and after contact with animals. 7. Communication: I maintain open and transparent communication with the pet owner. This includes providing updates on your pet's welfare, any concerns or observations, and promptly responding to any questions or requests you may have. Overall, my goal is to provide animals with a safe, comfortable and loving environment, whether that is my home or the pet owner's home. Their well-being is my priority and I make every effort to ensure that they are happy and healthy while in my care.

“After Sarah agreed to look after Henry. We went to meet her and her husband Bob. Henry took an instant liking to both. We went back for a second meet, Henry ran straight upto them and into the house and made himself at home. I had no doubts what so ever leaving him with Sarah and Bob. Sarah sent photos of Henry, he looked happy and at home. I can't recommend Sarah enough to look after your dog. He will be so well looked after. Will certainly be booking Henry in again. Thank you very much Sarah and Bob for my worry free weekend knowing Henry was with you.”
