The Dog House is pet friendly

We agree that a house isn’t a home without our four-legged friends, so we’ve taken steps to make them feel as welcome as you are!

Here at the dog house we accept pets of all different shapes and sizes, whether that be a therapy pet or a simple cuddle companion.

In order to keep peace and perfection at our properties, there are some steps we ask that you follow:
- Prior consent from a dog house team member must be granted before any pet is brought into one of our properties
- The owner of the pet will be asked to sign a ‘Pet Friendly’ agreement inline with their tenancy agreement. This agreement contains rules and regulations to protect us as a Landlord, your Pet, you and your neighbours.
- All students living within the property must consent and agree that the pet can join them in their living quarters.
- We ask that all those living in an apartment with a pet make themselves aware of our ‘Pet Policy’ found under the policies section of our website.

Each and every apartment, ground floor or second floor have their own personal garden space, meaning there is ample room to let your dog off the lead, or your hamster run around in its exercise ball whilst you sit back and relax.

For those of you who are less keen on sharing your living space with a pet, you can be reset assured at the end of each tenancy, following a ‘hand over and sparkle clean’ a thorough check is completed by our in-house management team to ensure no smells, scratches or traces are left behind.

Personal and Approachable Landlord

Throughout your stay at the dog house, you deal directly with a member of our in-house team. We conduct the viewings, take the reservations, answer the phone for any questions during your stay and carry out all property checks. There is no third party. So who are we?

We are an honest, fresh, friendly, innovative, approachable and practical student let company, our ethos is to ensure we deliver smashing spaces, in the safest of locations which include everything (and more!) you are going to need.

Hi, I am Scarlett Blakey, I head up The Dog House, alongside my husband Alexander, my mother Helen and my father Malcolm. As you already guessed, we are a family run business located out of Lincoln.
Across the ‘lot’ of us, we have experience in Interior Design, Art, Business and property providing the perfect set of skills to manage the day-to-day running of The Dog House.
We are a very approachable team, and hold an open door policy to not only ourselves and our staff but any of you too. We care considerably about who our tenants are, how willing they will be to care for our houses and how considerate they will be of their neighbours.

We work with our internal partner company Ophelia Blake interior design, to fully furnish all of our student houses, thus meaning the finished product will capture your day-to-day necessities, a hint of home and a layer of luxury.
We manage all the maintenance on the houses through our partner construction company, Finedale Construction, allowing repairs to be completed in-house, quickly and always for a ‘fair’ price.

“I lived at the Dachshund Den for 1 year and it was lovely. I found all of the included elements of the accommodation (kitchen appliances, beds, wardrobes, desks, internet, etc.) to be excellent quality and the decorating was very nice. It is modern and comfortable with views of the cathedral from two bedrooms and the common areas. It was an excellent stay with all our problems taken care of in a timely manner. Communication with the landlords was very easy. I would recommend this place for University of Lincoln students as it is close to the university campus and facilities.”

Kylie

“I was so lucky to found The Mutt Mansion at The Dog House Living last year in Lincoln. The owners Scarlett and Helen were the best landlord we can ask for and the whole living experience is just great. We had such a good time in this house as well as my bunnies! Thank you so much and I would recommend living here to anyone coming to Lincoln!”

Lokyi

“The year I spent at the Dachshund Den was great and I wish I could have stayed longer. Everything in the accommodations was of high quality, and the decor was nice. Two of the three spacious rooms and the common areas have views of the cathedral. We had an excellent stay, and all our problems were solved quickly. The landlords were easy to get in touch with. Any future tenants would be lucky to stay here.”

Amy

“I lived in one of the houses for 1 year. It was very nice experience, house is very modern and has all the comforts to live without problems. Staff very friendly and available for any problems. Very recommended”
