Dog Walking in Barrow-in-Furness

“Absolutely fantastic Heather!! Winston looked so happy and you were reliable, friendly and so caring. I know Winston can be a handful so thank you so much. It was so reassuring to see the pictures and the lovely time you spent with him. We would love to have you on board as a regular walker for Winston. Highly recommend!! Looking forward to seeing you on a regular basis ☺️🥰🐶”

“Thanks Cath, those photos are fab, he definitely looks happy and a sniff around yours at the end is a great warm up for next Thursday!”

“Fantastic dog walker!! Monica was extremely accommodating and kept us updated with Ralph's walk. Thank you so much. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!”

About: I have always lived and cared for dogs and am comfortable with large and small breeds. From a young age I have had large breeds with a variety of personalities - so am well experienced with all kinds of behaviour from dogs. I love walking in the mountains, and would love a companion to take on my walks, but am also open to smaller breeds that can keep me company at home. I live in the Lake District so there are plenty of local walks and trails to suit all breeds. I am fortunate enough to work from home 2 days a week so am also able to offer overnight stays during the week. All week days are available upon request. I can be flexible and try to accommodate your specific needs. I am able to work from home during the week if required and am therefore able to offer weekend and weekday overnight stays. I live in the Lake District with plenty of lovely walking routes. I also have a fenced garden so your dog can play in the garden. I have one small cat, called Nala. She is a timid cat and will likely stay out or stay upstairs away from the dog, but she is harmless. Please provide your dogs bed and treats so I can ensure they feel as comfortable as possible.

“Jessica is very knowledgeable and caring about dogs and she does an excellent job handling our two English Staffy siblings. I will definitely keep using her services in the future.”

About: We have had multiple dogs since a young age, and have had my dog for over a year - he is friendly and good with other dogs I work from home Monday, Wednesday and Friday every week, and walks the dog twice a day, with multiple play breaks throughout the day. On weekends I get out to the lakes with the dog at every opportunity Our back garden is completely secure and when the weather is nice the door is always open for the dog to come and go from the garden as he wants

“We hired Josh to watch our house and two dogs (90lbs and 60lbs) over the Christmas holidays. Not only did he do an awesome job, but he taught the pups a trick; he taught them how to do "paw"! The dogs took to him instantly and we came back to happy, healthy dogs and a clean house. We highly recommend Josh and would use him again.”

“Kev has been walking and running my dog, Leo, for almost 12 months. I’ve always had the feeling that he is very excited to go with Kev on his adventures, and he always comes home tired and content. It is apparent to me that Kev has taken the time to get to know him and hence his needs are well catered for. I would recommend Kev as a person to exercise your dog whenever you need and I would add that you may rest assured that your pet will be treated like one of the family.”

“Megan took our puppy for a walk for the first time today, it is the first time we have ever left her with any one other than family and she came back very happy with a wagging tail. Megan was very accommodating, and sent a photo to let us know she was okay.”

About: I've a great affinity with dogs having grown up with them. I love the energy that dogs bring to the world and make plenty of time to give them the play and exercise they need (however much this is). I will look to show the same love and care to your pet as you would. I am currently working a remote flexible contract which will enable me to be present at all times for your pet. This flexibility allows me to take your dog for walks 3-4 times per day. I have a large garden which backs onto a public green space, so regular short walks couldn't be easier. There are also plenty of longer routes available to ensure your pet gets the exercise it needs. My partner and I will both be at home with your dog, so we can give them lots of attention and work to whatever schedule they are used to!

About: Hi. We are Chloe and Josh, a couple in our 20's, and Hugo, a 1 year old, neutered silver miniature poodle. We adore dogs and always have. Having been members of borrowmydoggy, and trustedhousesitters prior to getting our own dog, we know all about ensuring an environment that matches the one your pup is coming from. We are aware that different dogs have different rules, and we like to keep to the same schedule you would at home to ensure minimal disruption. This means feeding at the same time, walking at the same time where possible, and ensuring the same sleeping arrangements (dogs are allowed on the sofas and beds here!) Dogs must be happy with other dogs as we have Hugo here. I work from home full time, and Josh does 2 out 5 days at home, so there's usually always someone around. On the odd occasion that dogs have to be left, it is never for more than 3-4 hours. We are happy to crate, or leave free roaming (providing house trained and not destructive). We have two crates here, of different sizes, so you wouldn't need to worry about bringing that with you. Whilst we are all about routine, I would always recommend bringing the familiar items that make your dog think of home - beds, toys, blankets etc (although we have a lot spare so no worries if you forgot!) We provide photos and videos of your pup, alongside a pup postcard (if boarding) upon your return, so you can hear about all the fun things your pup got up to on their holiday. We are based in Askam, off the Duddon Estuary. Any questions, please feel free to reach out to us. I work from home and Josh does too for half of the week. Our mornings start early (05:30) where we usually let the dogs out for a toilet break in the secured garden. We then have a quick lunchtime walk (20 - 25 mins) and then after work, a nice long walk. We mix it up, and sometimes will be on the beach, other times on the pier, and sometimes up around the lakes. We are used to catering for our dog, and sometimes friends dogs, so we are used to the dogs running our schedule! We have a grassy garden that is fenced and gated on all sides. We have our dog who will happily play with any dog visitors. We don't have children and have very few visitors to the property so is quite quiet for any nervous pups. We also have the beach on our doorstep and the lakes and hills down the road. Happy to let dogs sleep on the bed/the sofa/their own bed/their crate - whatever you do at home, we can replicate!

“Thank you ? Akasha had a great time with your puppy :)”

About: Having loved all dog breeds my whole life, and now owning a 6 year old boisterous labrador, dogs are a huge part of my life! I am currently working part time so am very flexible with the hours i can help with. I would love to help with dog walking as i am a lover of the outdoors and keeping fit. I have a lovely sized garden, as well as a very friendly labrador to keep your furry animal safe and entertained. I also have a crate if that is preferred!!
