“We could not of been any luckier with coming across Barbara, our dog Kasper took to her straight away and settled really easily. She did everything and more that we'd of hoped for, to which saw Kasper cuddle up to her... Something he doesn't do often!! We will definitely be using their expertise again”

“Jenny came to sit for me this week for my dog and cat. She was really lovely, keen to understand all about their routines, likes and dislikes, Jenny sent me pictures and it looked as if my dog was really enjoying her company. He bonded really well with her. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I grew up with dogs as a child, and did dog walking as a teenager, however as an adult - I have had 8 years worth of experience caring for them. I currently have 3 amazing dogs who I couldn’t physically love any more than I already do. I have experience in medical care as well as looking after rambunctious puppies. I work in a primary school Mon-Fri, so I can walk your beloveds after I finish and board at weekends and during school holidays too. I have an enclosed back garden; secured by 6 foot fences around the perimeter. I will keep your dog on a lead at all times, unless given permission only when privately hiring a fully secure dog field.

“Emily was excellent!! We came home to a very happy pup, Joy is very excitable and usually takes a little while to warm up to people but almost instantly wanted to cuddle up to Emily, she felt at ease with Emily really quickly which was a great sign! Emily is calm, warm and attentive and we will be booking again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life. My family home has had a dog in since I was two! I have trained my own dog up a few years ago from a puppy and have also been around my senior family dog! I’m currently a firefighter working 4 days on 4 days off. In those 4 days I would like nothing more then to spend time with your lovely animals. Whether that’s a walk, a visit or whatever it is I am happy to help! I have a fenced garden and currently do not have any pets in my home. I live by myself so they will have my undivided attention!

“Very pleased with Tracy looking after Russet. Tracy always replied promptly to communications and looked after Russet and the house well. Would request Tracy again if she is agreeable.”

“Elizabeth was great at looking after Tamu - thank you so much! She was very communicative with me sending messages and pictures regularly, which was very reassuring. She also left the house looking great too. Would happily recommend Elizabeth others.”

“Helen has been truly amazing. We came all the way from germany for a wedding and we couldn’t have left our dog by itself at the airbnb. Helen is such a heartwarming trustable person with a lot of experience. Helen send me pictures and kept me updated. I couldn’t have found someone better for our dog. Thank you so much Helen. It was a pleasure to meet you☺️”

About: I've looked after dogs since I was a child. Our house has always had dogs. They are treated as part of the family. Currently, i have a chocolate lab called Bramble and a rescue collie called Billy.I regularly walk dogs for people around the beautiful South Lakes countryside. Your dog will get two long walks during their stay and lots of cuddles and play time. I work from home, so your pet will get lots of attention and cuddles. They will be treated as part of our Dog Squad family. Every pet is treated as if it is my own. We have a very large garden and access to the beach, fells and moorland of Furness. I can crate your pet if required but usually your pet will be treated like my own. They will have access to dog beds and toys. They are welcome on furniture and beds,because after all, they are guests of the family.

About: Hello! I’m Imogen and have recently moved to Ulverston in the South Lakes, prior to moving to this area i ran my own business in my hometown, which was called K9 Club Shropshire, a Dog walking and pet services business in telford and shrewsbury, founded in August 2020. I am now looking to start up again in the area and hope you give me a chance to look after your four legged (or less) family. I have a Level 3 animal management qualification alongside years of practical experience within boarding and rescue kennels and of course, building the business. I am also a certified dog trainer. If your anything like me, your pets are your babies and trust me i will treat them like my own. I currently work full time 9-5, ability to come home to them for an hour during the day, walks in the morning and evening and exploring the lakes on the weekends where possible! so dependant on your normal routine we can discuss requirements. I do take regular time off work so I am able to arrange to be at home if your pets need more 1-1 or someone around most of the time. I love my dog more than anything in the world, this is also reflected in looking after other people’s pets. I am also a firm believer in keeping a dog in their routine as much as possible, even if just in the beginning to ease them through the transition. Regular updates are also a must!
