Doggy Day Care in Carlisle

“Amazing, couldn’t have asked for better caring people to look after my dog Margo. They went above and beyond taking her out on day trips, treating her like part of their family and also providing photos while I was away. I will be booking with them again!! I would highly recommend and I already have!!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and truly see them as a treasured part of the family. I’ve owned dogs myself and have also cared for many dogs for friends and family over the years. I’m experienced with a variety of breeds and personalities, including hounds, terriers, collies, dachshunds as well as mixed breeds. This has helped me become comfortable adapting to different energy levels, routines, and care needs. I have recently adopted a little cockapoo girl who is my bundle of joy, she is super friendly and loves meeting new dogs. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I will treat your dog like my own, always making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after while in my care. I work from home full time Tuesday through to Friday, which means dogs in my care have plenty of company throughout the day. Because I’m home, I can offer regular toilet breaks, playtime, treats, and lots of cuddles so they never feel lonely. During the day, I have natural downtime where I can feed, play, and spend time with your dog. Dogs will usually enjoy a 45-minute lunchtime walk and a longer walk once I finish work, along with plenty of cuddles and a good old snooze. I will always want to make your dog feel safe and like part of the family whilst staying with me, so I am happy to tailor my approach to your dog. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, adult-only household with no children, which helps create a calm and relaxed environment for visiting dogs. I also have my own 8-month-old cockapoo, Roxi, who is very friendly and loves meeting new dog friends. She’s sociable, playful, and used to sharing her space with other dogs. The house has a secure, fully enclosed rear garden where dogs can safely go out for fresh air and toilet breaks whenever they need. We’re also lucky to have several parks and green spaces nearby, which are perfect for daily walks and exercise. I always follow each dog’s usual routine as closely as possible and take time to make sure they feel comfortable and settled in my home. Dogs are supervised, given plenty of attention, and treated like part of the family while they stay with me. I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so you and your dog feel completely comfortable, and I’ll send regular photo and message updates during their stay so you can see how they’re getting on.

“Susan (and her husband) did a great job of caring for Ruby, while I attended my daughters graduation. Ruby is very anxious and has some health needs. Susan was very calm and gentle, letting Ruby settle in at her own pace and adapting her care to accommodate Ruby's needs and routine. I got lots of updates and photos through the day, giving me confidence and peace of mind that Ruby was in safe and loving hands. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Susan. Thank you so much for making Ruby feel at home and giving her all the love and cuddles she needs 🩷🩷🩷”

“Lily has had another great day with Savannah and Sarge. A long hike at Walla Crag overlooking Derwentwater which she enjoyed. She adores them both, which is clearly evident from the photos and videos shared along with the interactions, cuddles and fuss between them and Lily. Looking forward to her first overnight stays soon. Thanks Simon and Tina”

About: I am a young, fit individual who loves going on walks and spending time with my dogs. I can provide daily visits for cats and dogs, dog walking, doggy day care or at times overnight boarding. If my availability doesn’t suit, don’t hesitate to send a request or message anyways and I will see what I can do. I have had dogs my whole life, starting with labradors and now border terriers. My own dog Teddy has a diagnosis of epilepsy so I am able to manage dogs with medical conditions well. I have access to a car and can drive to any appointments🚘 Please don’t hesitate to message any questions. I currently work full time through a shift schedule. However I often have spare time on my hands during days off on which I would love to go a walk or help out other dog owners. I can also provide overnight boarding for well behaved, socialised dogs. When in someone else’s home I will respect any instructions given to me. I can bring my own dog on walks (if wanted) to keep company.

About: I have loved dogs since day one, growing up we had two Labradors, one of which was a rescue. My mum also added a little Westie to the gang, so along with 3 cats, it was quite a busy household! I developed a deep love and understanding of their unique personalities and needs. Now, as the proud owner with my wife of four wonderful dogs, three are rescue dogs, two of which are Thai street dogs, and my mums Bedlington Terrier following her passing. Two of the rescue dogs are reactive to other dogs so I bring a hands-on experience in handling a variety of temperaments with patience and care. Whether it’s providing a calming presence for anxious pups or ensuring playful companions get the exercise they need, I’m committed to creating a safe, happy environment for every dog I care for. I would be delighted to care for your dog, if you're happy for me to help, please pop me a message! I currently work from home, so I'm free during the week and weekends to look after your lovely dog! If you have any questions, just let me know! We have a fenced garden and if your dog gets on with other dogs, we have four of our own to keep them company if needs be. We also have two crates if required.

About: Very experienced dog trainer and behaviourist, with large rescue organisation for over 10 years. Avid dog lover, and previous dog mum to a sassy Daxi called Tilly. Countryside living in Cumbria, with both walks on the doorstep, and the fells a short drive away for those more adventurous paws! Dog got a few 'quirks'? Rest assured, ive seen em all! Positive training methods and vibes all the way! :) I am currently on a career break, so the world is my oyster at the moment. I enjoy getting out and about most days, so having a pooch to join me would be great! I understand every dog is different, so am able to adapt to each individual in order to meet both their, and your needs. I have a mature garden, which is full of lots of smells and room for adventures. the majority of it is enclosed, with some small gaps beneath some decking- however, I am more than happy to keep your pooch on a long line, and supervised at all times. I have multiple rooms, if your dog requires separating at certain times etc. I have space for crates etc. I am happy to accommodate your dog on the furniture, or on the bed if this makes them feel more at ease. I have access to a woodland which is not open to the public, so if your dog requires quieter walks away from the public, or other dogs, this can be accommodated easily.

“Millie had a great time with Alexandra - she definitely loves dogs and Millie loved her. Great communication and perfect location :). Will definitely be using again. Thank you!”

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from cats and dogs to horses and pigs. I’ve house-sat for multiple families, ensuring their pets are well cared for and kept in their usual routines while owners are away. I hold a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management, which gave me in-depth knowledge of animal health, welfare, behaviour, and husbandry across multiple species. Alongside this, I have experience working in a small animal veterinary practice, where I developed strong skills in recognising signs of illness, supporting senior pets, and assisting with general animal care. I am confident with basic medication administration and maintaining consistent routines for puppies and younger dogs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve regularly cared for my own pets as well as those of family and friends for many years. I am responsible, reliable, and understand the trust involved in caring for both pets and homes. Pet care is my full-time focus. I run my own business caring for dogs and horses, which means I have full control over my schedule and can plan my days around the animals in my care. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to provide consistent attention, regular walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pet needs active stimulation, structured exercise, or simply calm company, I can tailor my routine to suit their individual needs.

About: I’ve taken care of my family dogs and cats since I was 10. I used to have a Golden Labrador and now I have a Miniature Dachshund so am experienced with both large and small dogs. Friends, family and neighbours have relied on me to walk, feed and look after their pets! I am currently working from home so will be in and around the house for the majority of the working day in addition to the evening. I have a good size secure and fenced garden with a secure fence with including a security bolt. I leave my gate and front door bolted during the day.

“Gail was fantastic with looking after our Cavachon, Maisie for some daycare and we felt very reassured leaving her, along with lovely Luna the Cockapoo! Maisie seemed completely relaxed being there and Gail was very kind, helpful and communicative throughout the whole process. Would happily recommend and rebook. Thanks Gail!”
