Doggy Day Care Allerdale

“Alexandra is amazing! This is the second time she looked after Ruby and it looks like Ruby loves her 😊 also Alexandra keeps sending pictures of their adventures during the day, what’s is always nice to receive! Definitely would drop Ruby off here again if we around the area, pretty sure Ruby would love that too!”

“I would 100% recommend Svitlana for any dog sitting duties. She looked after my little Ollie last minute yesterday and she was so lovely and patient. He had such a lovely time & I was sent lots of pictures and reassurance throughout the day. Thank you so much!”

About: Very experienced dog trainer and behaviourist, with large rescue organisation for over 10 years. Avid dog lover, and previous dog mum to a sassy Daxi called Tilly. Countryside living in Cumbria, with both walks on the doorstep, and the fells a short drive away for those more adventurous paws! Dog got a few 'quirks'? Rest assured, ive seen em all! Positive training methods and vibes all the way! :) I am currently on a career break, so the world is my oyster at the moment. I enjoy getting out and about most days, so having a pooch to join me would be great! I understand every dog is different, so am able to adapt to each individual in order to meet both their, and your needs. I have a mature garden, which is full of lots of smells and room for adventures. the majority of it is enclosed, with some small gaps beneath some decking- however, I am more than happy to keep your pooch on a long line, and supervised at all times. I have multiple rooms, if your dog requires separating at certain times etc. I have space for crates etc. I am happy to accommodate your dog on the furniture, or on the bed if this makes them feel more at ease. I have access to a woodland which is not open to the public, so if your dog requires quieter walks away from the public, or other dogs, this can be accommodated easily.

About: I’ve taken care of our Welsh Terrier for 12 years (and counting) and more recently our daughter’s 8 month old cocker spaniel pup so I’ve got experience in both senior and puppy care of 2 uniquely feisty breeds. My deep passion, love, care and respect for dogs means that I am well placed to tailor my care and support to the specific needs of your best mate. Being recently retired, I have no ongoing commitments so my calendar is largely free. I have decided to embark on dog boarding and day care in our home initially although I will also consider dog walking or pop in calls within walking radius of our home. I have a large safe and secure fenced in rear garden with plenty of space for dogs to have as much fun and exercise they require throughout the day. I live in a rural location minutes from the coast so ample opportunity for country, woodland and coastal walks. My Welsh terrier is available to play and walk with our guests although there is also plenty of space should you prefer to keep your dog separate. At night, I have a dedicated warm and comfy utility room for exclusive use by your pet with direct access to a fenced in yard for toilet breaks. Alternatively, if your pet is crated overnight then there is ample space to accommodate this.

About: I have had dogs throughout my entire life and have grown up around a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I have cared for both small and large dogs, including Jack Russell Terriers, Chihuahuas, Weimaraners, and other larger breeds. Having lifelong experience with dogs has helped me become confident in understanding their different needs, behaviours, routines, and temperaments. In addition to caring for family pets, I regularly look after my partner’s mother’s dog whenever she travels. This has included longer periods of responsibility, such as caring for her dog while she was in Australia for 3–5 weeks at a time. During these stays, I have been responsible for all aspects of the dog’s daily care, including feeding, walking, exercise, playtime, companionship, maintaining routines, and ensuring their overall wellbeing and happiness while their owner is away. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their dogs are safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention when they cannot be there themselves. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and attentive, always treating every dog as if they were my own. Whether a dog enjoys long walks and lots of activity or prefers a quieter routine with plenty of affection and companionship, I am happy to adapt to their individual needs. My lifelong love of dogs means I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, getting to know their personalities, and making sure they feel secure, happy, and cared for. I am committed to providing a positive experience for both pets and their owners through dependable care, regular updates, and plenty of love and attention. I am currently taking a career break and wanting to go down the dog boarding route so thinking this will be the best route to carry on my skills and experience. I will be available everyday. I have a large enclosed back garden with a six foot fence around so plenty of room to play safely :) I have no other pets.

“Lily had a fabulous day, she is definitely loving life with Savannah and Sarge. Lovely walks to tire her out. She is so happy and relaxed there”

“Amazing, couldn’t have asked for better caring people to look after my dog Margo. They went above and beyond taking her out on day trips, treating her like part of their family and also providing photos while I was away. I will be booking with them again!! I would highly recommend and I already have!!”

About: I am a young, fit individual who loves going on walks and spending time with animals🐾🏔️☺️ I can provide daily visits for dogs (or cats), dog walking, doggy day care or at times overnight boarding! For overnight boarding the dogs are allowed on the sofa, and there are lots of toys and balls to play with here too☺️ I have had dogs my whole life, starting with labradors and now border terriers. My own dog Teddy has a diagnosis of epilepsy so I am able to manage dogs with medical conditions well. I have access to a car and can drive to any appointments🚘 If my availability doesn’t suit, don’t hesitate to send a request or message anyways and I will see what I can do. My partner often helps me too if I am unavailable🥰 I currently work full time through a shift schedule. However I often have spare time on my hands during days off on which I would love to go a walk or help out other dog owners. I can also provide overnight boarding for well behaved, socialised dogs. When in someone else’s home I will respect any instructions given to me. I can bring my own dog on walks (if wanted) to keep company.

“Angus had a great time with Lexie today. Lexie sent me regular updates on Angus putting my mind at ease. And from the pictures I recieved I can tell he enjoyed every moment of it! I will certainly be booking again.”

“Gail was fantastic with looking after our Cavachon, Maisie for some daycare and we felt very reassured leaving her, along with lovely Luna the Cockapoo! Maisie seemed completely relaxed being there and Gail was very kind, helpful and communicative throughout the whole process. Would happily recommend and rebook. Thanks Gail!”

Mark M.

“Paul was fantastic, completely set our mind at ease and our dog Barney clearly warmed to him quickly. First time leaving Barney with anyone else and would have no hesitation leaving him with Paul again- hopefully we will be able to in the future. Thanks so much Paul!”

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from cats and dogs to horses and pigs. I’ve house-sat for multiple families, ensuring their pets are well cared for and kept in their usual routines while owners are away. I hold a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management, which gave me in-depth knowledge of animal health, welfare, behaviour, and husbandry across multiple species. Alongside this, I have experience working in a small animal veterinary practice, where I developed strong skills in recognising signs of illness, supporting senior pets, and assisting with general animal care. I am confident with basic medication administration and maintaining consistent routines for puppies and younger dogs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve regularly cared for my own pets as well as those of family and friends for many years. I am responsible, reliable, and understand the trust involved in caring for both pets and homes. Pet care is my full-time focus. I run my own business caring for dogs and horses, which means I have full control over my schedule and can plan my days around the animals in my care. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to provide consistent attention, regular walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pet needs active stimulation, structured exercise, or simply calm company, I can tailor my routine to suit their individual needs.

About: I'm an experienced dog, cat (and giant snail!) owner. I'm a very outdoorsy person, spending my spare time hill walking and exploring the estate I live on with my two dogs. I have experience administering medication such as injecting insulin in cats, looking after senior animals as well as puppies and kittens. I have a car so can easily drive to your home if needed. I mostly work from home and can take regular breaks to walk your furry friend. My work is flexible so I can sometimes fit in drop in visits and walks - just ask. Every morning, afternoon and evening your dog will be walked on the estate, with plenty of interesting places to explore, including hills, woodland and fields. I live on a sprawling country estate in a house with a fenced garden. Your dog will always be supervised and leashed if needed. My cottage is set back from the main road so is very safe. In the cottage they will have the run of our kitchen and living room, with a wood fired stove and sofa. Please note we don't allow dogs on our bed 😊
