Hello!
At Barklingtons, I know your pets are family – and that family deserves the best. My passion is ensuring that every dog gets the attention, stimulation, and love they need, whether they’re running through the countryside on a group adventure or enjoying a gentle bimble through the woods at their own pace.
My personalised pet sitting services are designed to fit your busy life while giving your furry friend a happy, fulfilling experience every time.
Safety, reliability, and a whole lot of tail-wagging fun are at the heart of what I do.
DAYTIME DROP IN VISITS
When life gets busy, my drop-in visit service is here to help.
I'll pop by to feed, dispense meds, treats, refresh water, clear up any mess, let your pet out and finish with play and cuddles, giving your pet love and companionship when you can’t be there.
With photo updates, you can rest easy knowing they’re loved and in good hands.
£11 for 30 minutes.
£19 for two visits per day.
£25 for up to 1 to 4 hours.
£40 for up to 8+ hours.
OVERNIGHT PET SITTING
Keep your pets happy at home while you're away! My pet sitting service ensures your cat, dog or small pet stays comfortable in their own familiar surroundings, avoiding the stress of kennels or catteries. Also perfect if you have a pet who needs more attention than kennels or a cattery can give.
I keep to your pet’s normal daily routine, give them lots of love, administer meds if needed, and I'll even take care of little household things such as emptying bins, watering plants and bringing in parcels/post. I will stay in your property overnight whilst you're away.
A daily 1-hour walk is included for dogs.
£40 per 24hrs for 2 dogs (other pets incl).
+£5 per day for additional dogs.
£30 per 24hrs for cats (other pets incl).

Testimonials
I could talk about my love for animals all day long, but why not let my happy clients do the talking! From wagging tails to big, cozy cuddles, here’s what you're saying about Barklingtons.
Spoiler alert: it’s full of smiles, snuggles, and plenty of pawsitive vibes!
We’re Pup and Flora, and we think aunty Lor is just the bestest! When mum's away, Lor keeps us at home, which is just how we like it. She makes sure we get all the love, walks, and treats we could ever need. We always feel safe and spoiled with Lor around, and Mum says we look super chilled out when she returns. We give Lor and Barklingtons two waggy tails up! 🐾
[Pet Sitting]
We're Kira and Sumi <pictured>, and we think Lor is the best human ever! She made sure we had plenty of walks, belly rubs, and all the treats while Mum and Dad were away. For over two years, she took us on the best of walks and always knew just how to keep us happy and comfy at home 🐾
[Pet Sitting, Drop Ins and Walks]
Mr Fong here. I’m always very disappointed when my primary human disappears. I suppose secondary human Lor does an adequate job. She meets my VIP requirements—with treats, door-opening duties (because I am far too important to use my cat flap) and my daily valet. She’s slightly better than adequate… actually, she’s almost purrfect. But don’t tell her I said that 😼
[Pet Sitting & Drop Ins]
I’m Albert, an elderly (and rather distinguished) cat! Whenever my humans went away, Lor stepped in to care for me, and I must say, she did a wonderful job. She made sure I got my medications on time, served my favorite treats, and always had time for plenty of cuddles—which I quite enjoyed. Lor has a gentle touch, and I felt very safe and loved when she was here 😻
[Pet Sitting & Drop Ins]
We’re Willow and Bracken. When Mum had to go away, Lor took over—and we couldn’t be happier! Willow was getting on in years, but Lor always made sure Willow had her meds and plenty of love. We loved that Lor kept to our routine just like Mum did, even letting us snuggle and sleep in the same bedroom with her. Walks, cuddles, and all the care we could want! We always felt safe and loved with Lor.🐾

About Barklingtons
Hi, I’m Lor, the owner of Barklingtons!
I’ve always loved the outdoors, and nothing makes me happier than exploring the countryside with a furry friend by my side. I’ve shared part of my life with two incredible dogs: Minnie, a spirited Boston Terrier, and Shida, an energetic Siberian Husky. My partner and I trained them as therapy dogs and they brought joy to everyone they met. They were my loyal companions on countless adventures. Though Minnie and Shida are no longer with me, my love for exploring the outdoors with furry friends continues every day. I've also owned and loved many cats in my lifetime.
For over 7 years, I've been pet sitting, and nothing makes me happier than gaining the trust of pets and being welcomed as part of their family. Whether it’s giving a shy pet the space to come to me at their own pace or showering an enthusiastic one with affection, I’m here to make sure your pets are happy, comfortable, and well-loved 🐾❤
I'm a fully insured, trained and criminally checked Dog Walker and Pet Sitter.
