About: I have always absolutely loved animals especially dogs. I have grown up around all different breeds of dogs and I currently have two cocker spaniels who are crazy but I have so much love for them. I am confident with feeding, walking, playing, and providing companionship, as well as following specific routines and instructions from owners. I understand the importance of keeping dogs safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away, and I am patient, reliable, and attentive to their individual needs. Whether it’s energetic dogs that need plenty of exercise or older dogs that require a calmer approach, I am comfortable adapting to provide the best care possible. I currently work part time so I will have so much fee time to spend with your dogs!! On a day to day usually I am caring for my two dogs and taking them on lots of walks. I am always making sure my pets are healthy and in a safe environment especially when my own dog loves to pick up rubbish everywhere she goes🫣

“Jenny has been brilliant with Beau. He is a rescue; a year ago we couldn’t leave him due to separation anxiety. This year, while he has come on a lot, it still time a very patient and skilled dog sitter to keep him relaxed while we were away. Jenny was also so supportive and kind to us, working around a fairly erratic timetable. All I can say is she is brilliant. Thank you Jenny”

About: I have had pets since i can remember big and small. I have experience with taking care of mine and friends family pets from kittens and puppys to senior dogs. I love all animals and go the extra mile for perfect care. I do work part time but its mostly early mornings and late evenings so i have alot of free time to offer pet care services. I do not offer care in my home due to someone in my home having an allergy but i will treat any home i enter with respect and trust. I ensure a friendly safe and fun environment for your pet giving them the best experience while you are away with lots of updates and fun pictures!

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!

“Always kept to the agreed time and messaged to put me at ease about my pet.”

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 Eve, a reliable and caring dog owner offering dog walking and drop-in visits. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I currently own a Golden Retriever, Nova, and through raising and caring for her I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, enrichment, basic training reinforcement, and understanding different energy levels and personalities. I’m confident handling dogs, reading body language, and creating calm and positive walking experiences. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits, which can include whatever you need- feeding, fresh water, toilet breaks, playtime, companionship, and updates with photos so you feel reassured while you’re away. I tailor each visit to your dog’s needs, whether they’re energetic, nervous, or just enjoy a gentle stroll. I currently work full-time hours from Monday to Thursday but have flexibility including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m committed to being punctual, organised, and communicative. I genuinely love pets and I’d love to support you and your dog. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I already structure my day around regular walks, feeding times, and enrichment for my own dog. I work locally and value flexibility, which allows me to give your dog proper time, attention, and consistency. I will never rush a walk or a drop-in visit. I prioritise calm, safe, and respectful care in a pet owner’s home and whilst out walking. I carefully follow instructions, maintain routines, monitor behaviour closely, and will ensure that your dog feels comfortable, settled, and well cared for at all times.

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!
