Lynsey

Hello! Thank you for visiting! As you, we love animals, and would be honoured to look after yours. My husband Paul and I do house sits together. We've looked after dogs, cats, chickens, tortoises, spiders and snakes; from just a few hours to a few months.

Please note that we only sit within Milton Keynes and the immediate surrounding villages. 

My husband and I hail from Milton Keynes in the UK, happily married for 10 years. We're homeowners who both grew up with dogs, have owned a cat, and currently have a relative's dog staying with us. (We loved our friends' cats, rescued our own, got hooked, we're now equally catdog people!) Most often it would be both of us pet sitting, sometimes it would be just me. So whether you prefer a couple, or only have room for a single person, we can cater for both. I work from home so I can provide constant care if it is required. While we looked after pets in our home for many years previously, in December 2022 we started sitting pets in other people's homes. We received fabulous reviews and loved it, so now we're taking it to the next level!

Points which may entice you, the homeowners!:

We both grew up with dogs from puppy through to old age with all the wonder that includes. Paul also grew up with a tortoise and a hamster, and me with fish. I have spent a lot of time with horses including a week of one-on-one care. A gorgeous corn snake stayed with me for a few months, and I've spent some weekends looking after spiders and a very tidy scorpion. I'm also currently studying canine behaviour.

We love our home and will love yours. We have an above ground swimming pool so I'm confident with looking after chemical levels in water features if your home requires it. Both of us are happy with plant care, and Paul in particular has a very green thumb!

We are confident with most medical needs - our previous cat Simba had an eye condition which needed eye drops, and we've both cared for pets who require special diets or special needs (such as post-operation recovery). Neither of us are afraid of mucky jobs!

We care so much for our furry (or bald or scaled or feathered!) friends and give them as much enrichment as they wish to have. We are mindful of each individual personality and care for each pet accordingly. For example - our cat Simba was sensitive so we'd offer a hand and let her decide if she wanted petting, however a foster cat Dotty would dive in front of our feet for belly rubs and playtime and would head-butt us if we were not petting enough!

We absolutely LOVE pet-sitting, it's the best of both worlds! We're fascinated by all creatures great and small, and every holiday we take always includes a visit to a place with animals, so why not stay with them!
