About Us - What is Playful Paws?

Playful Paws Pet Services is a friendly and professional company, providing excellent standards in Pet Sitting and Dog Walking.

Additionally, we hold enjoyable Fun days and also provide a safe and reliable Pet Taxi Service. Playful Paws is based at Lincoln and Cranwell and caters within the Lincolnshire area.

We understand that more than ever before, today's busy lifestyles make it difficult to give our dogs the attention, structure, training, exercise and mental stimulation necessary for a happy dog. And the reality is, dogs left alone or isolated for extended periods are deprived of social interaction, and can become lethargic or destructive.

If you are in need of some extra help to look after your pets, Playful Paws are here to help. Whether it’s twice a day five days a week, or just for that Wedding you were going to have to miss, we can do our best to help you. You can be rest assured that your pet is in safe and loving hands and gets the complete attention that they fully deserve.

Testimonials

Dear Playful Paws...

Having recently moved to Lincolnshire, it was imperative for me to find someone/somewhere I could trust to look after my Ruby, a Weimeraner pup, when I had to go out, whether it be for a couple of hours or for the whole day. Someone/somewhere that gives the same kind of attention to her that she gets at home.

The Playful Paws crèche is just that and much much more, you truly take an interest in each individual dog looking to develop behaviours where necessary. It’s a safe and clean environment for my dogs to be in and it’s an excellent way of getting them to socialise with dogs and humans alike whilst being constantly observed by dedicated staff. I only have to mention the word crèche and Ruby knows where she’s off to.

To be able to go out for the day and not worry about what Ruby is getting up to or whether or not she is getting walked/fed is a fantastic feeling, thank you. Although only having had Oscar for a couple of weeks now, I know that since having been introduced to the crèche, just like Rubes, he loves it. They are both benefiting from their time at Playful Paws and to be honest, I wouldn’t trust Ruby or Oscar with anyone else now.

I don’t have children, I have dogs and just like a parent wants the best for their child, I feel exactly the same way about Ruby and Oscar. I would therefore truly recommend Playful Paws to any dog owner.

Yours faithfully,

Sue Fisher (Varty) Project Manager Delivery Operations HP Services
