Pet Sitting & Home Visiting from £7.50
The Bark Stops Here offers Pet Sitting and Home Visiting in Lincoln and across Lincolnshire, as we believe it is a lot less stressful for pets to be in their home environment, where everything smells and looks familiar!
Why Pet Sitting / Home Visiting is a better choice than kennels:
-
your pet will have familiar smells and surroundings in their home environment
-
no noisy neighbours (stressed dogs or cats in nearby kennels who cause a stressful environment)
-
your pet will receive individual care and attention in their own home
-
avoid exposure to illnesses as the stress of a kennel environment can lower your pet's resistance, even when vaccinated
-
if your pet is rescued they will undoubtedly become stressed returning to a kennel environment
What We Offer
Whether you are worried about leaving your dog home
alone for the evening, or will be on holiday for a week or two, we can
help tailor a service to suit you and your pet.
Pet Sitting (live-in):
This is where one of our friendly team (CRB checked
and fully insured) would stay at your home for the duration of your
holiday, or time away from home. Not only does this allow your pet to
receive the one-to-one attention and care they would normally receive
from you, but you can have peace of mind that your property will be
occupied and secure and not vulnerable whilst you're away. No matter
how many animals you have, ( although we might have to negotiate a little
if you're name's Noah and you own an Ark!), we will not charge extra
for each additional pet, unlike other companies, as our sole purpose
is to be there to care for all those little ones who need fed, watered,
exercised and cuddled in your absence!
Pet Sitting (home-boarding):
Home-boarding is an alternative to having someone stay
in your house. This is where your dog or caged animal (such as rabbit,
hamster, guinea pig etc.) come and stay with us, or one of our fosterer's
to stay in a home-from-home environment, where your pet will be treated
like one of the family! It's advisable to book your home-boarding well
in advance, as this is a very popular service, especially during public
holidays.
Home Visits:
We will visit your pet in their own home to feed them,
give them fresh water, clean litter trays or cages, and check their
vital signs to ensure they are healthy (not to forget lavish fuss and
cuddles!). We will also be vigilant to ensure your home is secure while
you are away as well as carry out any other tasks you may have asked
us to do, like emptying the mail box or removing mail from behind the
front door to ensure the property looks occupied. This type of Home
Visit is ideal for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, mice,
exotics or any other small animal!
For dogs, if you are only away from home during the day, we are happy to visit as many times as you require and will ensure your dog is exercised for a minimum of an hour at a time, in compliance with your requests.
