Doggy Day Care in Copeland

About: I’ve taken care of our Welsh Terrier for 12 years (and counting) and more recently our daughter’s 8 month old cocker spaniel pup so I’ve got experience in both senior and puppy care of 2 uniquely feisty breeds. My deep passion, love, care and respect for dogs means that I am well placed to tailor my care and support to the specific needs of your best mate. Being recently retired, I have no ongoing commitments so my calendar is largely free. I have decided to embark on dog boarding and day care in our home initially although I will also consider dog walking or pop in calls within walking radius of our home. I have a large safe and secure fenced in rear garden with plenty of space for dogs to have as much fun and exercise they require throughout the day. I live in a rural location minutes from the coast so ample opportunity for country, woodland and coastal walks. My Welsh terrier is available to play and walk with our guests although there is also plenty of space should you prefer to keep your dog separate. At night, I have a dedicated warm and comfy utility room for exclusive use by your pet with direct access to a fenced in yard for toilet breaks. Alternatively, if your pet is crated overnight then there is ample space to accommodate this.

“Our dear little dog loved every second 😍 She didn’t try to escape when I went to collect her as she had the best time ever. I would definitely recommend. 5 out of 5 from me and I will be booking again when we’re visiting the lakes again and need doggy daycare. Thank you very much 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😁”

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.

“Meg had a wonderful time with Alex. We felt 100% happy and confident to leave our dog with her for a few days while on holiday in the Lake District. We were sent lots of photos and Meg was very happy to go back each day. On our last day Meg took us for a walk and took us to the park where Alex bought her a sausage for lunch - unfortunately the cafe was closed when we got there but it was lovely to see her keen to share the experience with us! We would definitely love to book Alex for dog sitting next time we visit the Lake District. 🥰”

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.

“Liv really put my mind at rest lovely natured and so considerate of daisy anxiety too I will definitely use liv again lovely lady and would highly recommend x”

“My first time leaving Fenn with a sitter however I needn’t have worried as Nicola took great care of him. She kept me updated with videos of him happily playing in the house and out enjoying a walk. She is clearly an experienced dog owner and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Fenn with her again in the future.”

“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'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.

“Chloe and Josh were super friendly and worked happily around our very energetic pup. They were reassuring and keep us updated with lots of photos. Would definitely use again and Papillon came out with a new friend in Hugo”

About: My website highlights stories of the dogs I’ve taken care of at Windermere Dog Sitting and I can provide documentation for home boarding licence, DBS check and professional pet business insurance. I work part time as an online nutritionist so I have plenty of time to take care of dogs too. We usually go out for 2-3 nature walks a day. I have a secure garden and plenty of toys, fluffy bedding and a very clean and tidy home. Amber (my young cockapoo) is the only other being in my household.
