“Melanie was available at short notice and adapted to Julie's needs eg stayed in the garden with her when she wasn't keen on a walk. Also got daily updates / photos. Would deffo reccomend Melanie - thank you ?”

“Lena is great with my dog - he loves her and will often choose her to ask to play with him. She is very gentle when playing with him! She is also great with cats (and rabbits!). She is very responsible and has good experience with lots of animals.”

About: I'm new to dog sitting but excited to start this journey! While I may not have extensive experience, I’m a quick learner and genuinely passionate about caring for dogs. Living close to the Lake District, I have access to beautiful trails and plenty of open space for long, enjoyable walks. I’m committed to giving them the attention and exercise they need while keeping them safe and happy. Whether it’s playtime at home or exploring the great outdoors, I’ll make sure your dog feels loved and well cared for during their stay with me! I work full time, so I’m available to care for pets on weekends, with the occasional Monday and Friday free as well. I make sure to give my full attention and care during those times! I'll look after your pets in a safe, quiet environment, with a fenced garden perfect for outdoor play. I live in a peaceful estate away from busy roads, ensuring a secure and stress-free space for them to relax and enjoy.

“Emily is a very kind and gentle person, who on occasions when I have been away has looked after my 3 terriers, I can always depend on emily to make sure that my dogs are looked after to the best possible standard, and she will always go the extra mile, me and my dogs would 100 percent recommend emily for any occasion.”

“Nicky has looked after my little terrier, Shirley, since she was a puppy. Shirley loves going as it’s like home from home for her. I always know she is safe and well cared for. She gets lots of exercise and lots of fun. As a very tiny puppy and not much bigger now, she was too small to go in kennels, staying with Nicky was the only place I would want her to go to. EVER!”

About: I have helped friends and family with their pets starting during the pandemic including, rabbits, cats and dogs and later on, even ducks, chickens and Alpacas! I am experienced in basic dog first aid, and i also have a car to take your pet to the very in any emergency too. I have a dog of my own and have been the main care giver, walker and trainer for her for the first two years, now she is a family dog and looked after by everyone! I love doing research on your dogs breads, but I would love to get to know them personally too! I do work during the week, I have one full day job on Thursday and small cleaning jobs throughout the week - this makes it easier for me pop out for my jobs and still have lots of time to play, walk, and keep your pet company! I have 2 religious meetings, normally on a Tuesday evening and a Sunday. I do not offer boarding in my own home, but I would like to know the safety of your own home, such as, is your dog allowed in the garden or to go up to the fences. Is your garden all fenced in? Has your dog ever escaped before? Is there any rooms in the house he/she is not allowed in? Or any furniture they aren’t allowed on? I want your pet to feel comfortable and not unsettled, does your pet get anxious when you leave the house at all?

“Mark has done an absolutely amazing job looking after our dogs on our wedding day! Nothing was too much trouble. He hung around during the ceremony and while we were taking photos then took the two dogs away on the most amazing walkies ever! They climbed a mountain, ran around with sheep and came back the happiest tired pooches. We couldn’t be more grateful for the perfect dog date on our special day!”

About: As an experienced pet sitter with a special focus on rescue dogs, I have a deep understanding of their unique needs and quirks, especially with breeds like Lurchers. My background includes working extensively with these wonderful animals, ensuring they receive the patience, care, and love they deserve. I am well-versed in handling their specific behavioral traits and providing a nurturing environment. While my expertise lies with rescue dogs, I am also enthusiastic and fully equipped to care for other breeds, ensuring that every pet under my supervision feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I have recently moved back to Carlisle from Glasgow so I am looking forward to getting to know the city better and would be great to have some company on my daily walks! I think paying attention and researching what each particular breed is most comfortable with as well as listening to the owners to make sure your pet is as comfortable and settled as can be.

About: Taken care of pets as long as I can remember always been around dogs have 2 labradors who are the most friendly dogs and have had other dogs in past During week I'm working but on weekend my schedule is always open and usually home all weekend so would get plenty of attention and walk and playtime So we have converted under the stairs so they have a closed off space but also normally just let our dogs wander round and sleep on the sofas if they prefer and have a large fenced off garden

“Molly has looked after all of my pets over the years. My dogs, cats and birds. She has grown up with many pets and she knows exactly how to care for them all, with their individual personalities and needs. I can go away knowing my pets and my home is in great hands. She always follows instructions carefully for each one. When walking my dogs (one can be reactive sometimes) Molly is aware of other dog walkers with the knowledge of reading dog behaviour, she is careful and very responsible. Would highly recommend Molly for your beloved pets.”
