House Sitting in Carlisle

“Couldn't have asked for anyone better to look after our Dafney while we got married. Katy put our minds at ease with it being the first time we we were leaving Dafney with a sitter, we received loads of photos and Dafney clearly had a great time! Thank you so much Katie, we wouldn't use anyone else in future!”

“Kat looked after our boy so well! She kept us updated and he was very relaxed when we finally got home. We had stressful train delays returning and Kat was very reassuring& flexible. She’s a pleasure to work with, thank you Kat 😊”

About: I currently live with my boyfriend just outside of carlisle city in cotehill with our 2 dogs Oliver (king charles spaniel) and sasha (chihuahua x papillon). I would like to start my own business at some point but need a starting hand so i would like to get into dog walking/dog sitting. I currently work at the vets on reception so know a bit about dogs in general. I currently work full time at the vets. I am available on weekends, sometimes night times after work or if i’m on a late shift i start 11.30am so im often free before work aswell just shift dependent. I have a fenced garden (farmhouse) and have 2 fur babies myself of which i can separate if needed in our conservatory as that’s where they often spend their day sleeping in the sun!

“Stayed over night with our very wary dog Charlie took to hannah straight away. Sent plenty of photos of Charlie who seemed very happy and had plenty of snuggles. Will 100% use hannah again”

“We used Ellie to look after our two dogs when we came to Northumberland for a family wedding. At the last minute our accommodation was cancelled and Ellie adapted brilliantly to the changes that resulted. Our dogs had a great day and we felt really happy with Ellie and the reliable service she provided.”

About: Hi everyone! My name is Naomi, I am very new to this app. I have grew up with animals since a very young age of 3 year old. I am animal obsessed but dogs hold a very close place in my heart! I have 2 rescue lurchers that I take out on walks and make memories with. I am a very kind and caring person and if I’m honest my love for animals is more than humans 🙈 I love going on long walks with my dogs and dogs that are owned by family and friends. I am very good with dogs at all ages and have a lot of experience with young, teen and elderly dogs. I train regularly at the gym as one of my hobbies so I can withstand a dog that pulls on the leash too, as I am aware no dog can be perfect. I look forward to meeting your pets, they will be in great hands and I will look after them like my own pets! I am available for walks and visits any hours on a Tuesday and the weekends. I am available for walks and visits any other weekdays after 5.30pm. If you have any certain requests to not hesitate to get in touch. I look forward to meeting your pets! I am currently working as a dental nurse 35 hours week so I do have spare time, in which I would like to spend meeting and walking new dogs I care for my two lurchers by taking them out on daily walks and playing lots of games to keep them mentally stimulated as they are high energy dogs by playing scent and lure games and lots of different types of training. Not to mention giving them lots of cuddles/scratches and feeding them nutritious food.

About: Hi, I’m Cat! I have a 15 year-old cat and a rescue collie, so I understand pets with all kinds of needs from senior companions to nervous pups. I’ve volunteered in dog kennels, hold a Pet First Aid certificate, and am expanding my animal care training. Whether it’s walks, sitting, or just keeping your pets company, I’ll treat them with the same love and patience I give my own. I am a full-time freelance artist so I can work around your schedule and needs. I make sure to plan my bookings carefully so your pets always get the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow their usual routines to help them feel safe and comfortable whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or companionship. I’ll make sure fresh water is always available, give them lots of love and attention and send you regular updates so you know how they’re doing. I treat every home with respect, leaving it just as I found it, so you can relax knowing both your pets and your space are well cared for.

About: I’ve been using borrow my doggy for the past 2 years and looked after a few dogs over that period. I tend to look after the same ones as I find it easier once a relationship is built with them and their owners. I’m super easy going and not precious about them getting on furniture or sleeping on my bed but am also respectful of what the owners rules at home are! I currently work full time, over 4 days a week, so would be available for evening walks/company or weekend sleepovers. I would love a dog of my own but cannot commit at the moment, so I find this the perfect way to get my fix Currently live at home with my parents, with a big gated garden. I’m very mindful of other people’s dogs in public spaces and am aware of signs when a dog may feel distressed. I’m also more than happy for them to get on the furniture and sleep on my bed if that’s what the owner allows:)

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.

“Morgana was very caring with my puppy when I had to leave him home alone for the first time when I went back to work. She made sure he was well looked after and she sent lots of update pictures too. Would recommend to anyone in the area.”

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 3 full days during the week, on Monday, Thursday and Friday. This means I cannot do drop in visits or dog walking on those days, but I can look after your pet overnight, which is shown in my calendar availability. I have 2 religious meetings, on a Wednesday evening and a Sunday for 2 hours. I would like to know the safety of your own home, which will help me understand what your pet will do in my 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?

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.

“Luke was lovely with Alfie, very calm and I think they had a nice evening together, Thankyou”
