Dog Walking in Barrow-in-Furness

“Bracken was super excited to see Diana again! They have formed a lovely bond. Very happy dog and owner yet again!”

About: I have grown up around many dogs and have always loved and cared for them, me and my wife welcomed our first dog together in 2023 and she is very well natured with people and dogs alike. And I am happy to care for puppies or adult dogs, from big to small. I work 3 days on shift, 4 days off, giving me several days in a row each week for additional routine for pet care. My wife works full-time also but is happy helping with dog care when she isn't. Although I have my own dog and have a routine for care, diet, I can adapt to clients wishes for their dogs diet and needs whilst under my care. I try to walk my own dog a minimum of 2x60 minutes walks a day but can increased or decreased depending on needs and breed

“Really easy to communicate and organise walks with Emily. It really keeps my dog happy with a good routine and appetite around busy days. Thanks for all the help.”

About: I’ve grown up with pets and have lots of experience with dogs and cats. I’ve helped raise two lively, happy, and well-behaved Border Collies from puppies, and I currently have my own rescue cat who I adopted when she was young. I understand how much love, patience, and consistency pets need to feel secure and happy. I’ve also cared for friends’ and family members’ pets, always treating them as if they were my own. I have experience with many breeds, and I have a keen interest in animal behaviour, which I use to my advantage when providing high-quality, loving care for pets. I work from home and I am flexible with location, so I can house sit and keep your pets company. I also manage my own workload so I can organise my time around pet care and dog walks, to suit your pets' individual needs! My availability differs, and it could be any day of the week. My background is adult nursing meaning I am DBS checked, I occasionally work bank shifts when I am available, though I would not do this when house sitting, to ensure your pets are given the attention they need. I like to be active and take advantage of the local walks, so I am happy to care for active dogs. I can offer house sitting, drop in visits and dog walking. I understand the importance of routine and familiarity for your pets, and I am happy to provide care in your home that ensures your pets feel safe, happy and comfortable. I would enjoy exploring or returning to the walks local to your home, ensuring a familiar, enjoyable experience for your dogs.

About: Hi. We are Chloe and Josh, a couple in our 20's, and Hugo, a 2 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!

“Michelle is a lovely calm and friendly girl. Our dog gets super excited when she sees her, and is happy and contented after her walk.”

I enjoy making sure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable, whether that’s taking dogs out for exercise or keeping cats entertained and cared for at home.

In my free time, I love spending time with animals, especially my Maine Coon cat, and I’ve always enjoyed caring for both cats and dogs. I also enjoy going for long walks with my friends’ and neighbours’ dogs, as it gives me the chance to keep active, spend time outdoors, and enjoy their company. make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by keeping to their usual routines, giving them plenty of attention, and creating a calm environment. In my own home, I provide a secure and pet-friendly space, and when looking after pets in other people’s homes, I respect their rules and follow care instructions closely.
