Pet Sitting in Copeland

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and can’t imagine life without them! I grew up with an amazing family rescue dog from the age of 10, who I cared for until he passed away just 11 months ago. Since then, I’ve had the joy of dog sitting two pups (a small Cavapoo and a large Weimaraner–Vizsla mix) starting when they were 8 and 5 months old. Over the past 9 months, I’ve helped both of them grow into well-mannered, happy dogs. I’ve focused especially on training with the Cavapoo due to having her more regularly, teaching her fun tricks along with key commands like “leave it,” “wait,” and some recall. I’ve also learned to be patient, consistent, and calm with boisterous, high energy puppies, making sure they get plenty of play, attention, and gentle guidance. Whether it’s a small lap dog or a big energetic breed, I love getting to know each pup’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I am currently working full time as a degree apprentice, however I work from home 1-2 days of the week. On working from home days I am happy to do local drop-ins during my lunch hour. I’m also available to do drop-ins/walks after work every day of the week, and weekends. I always make sure pets are safe, supervised, and comfortable in my care. My home has a long garden that’s great for playtime and will be fully secured before hosting any dogs. Inside, pets have plenty of space to relax and I keep their environment calm and clean. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow each owner’s routine closely and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are checked for safety every time.

“Laura was absolutely brilliant with our cat, and he loved his visits with her. Nothing was too much bother and he was so well looked after. Thank you again Laura!”

“Sophie was such a good walker and carer of my dog Wren. I visited the area and went out for a hike which would have been too strenuous for Wren. Sophie travelled to our accommodation, walked, played, stimulated and settled Wren. Sophie provided photo and video updates throughout her time with Wren. I returned home to a content and calm dog. I couldn’t have asked for anymore. I will definitely use Sophie’s services if I find myself in the same position again in the future. Thanks again!”

“Katrina did a great job of seeing to our 2 house cats for the weekend. They mean a lot to us and you could tell she saw that and made a lot of time and effort with them. House was lovely and tidy when we got back and cats very happy. Thanks Katrina!”

About: Having grown up on a smallholding I'm used to animals big and small, my favourites have to be cats and dogs, although I'm happy to help with rodents, birds and fish also. I am happy to fit in care around my family life, so feel free to pop me a message to ask my availability and I will do what I can to help. As I have three golden retrievers, three cats and four children I would be offering to house sit / visit, opposed to boarding. As I am used to tailoring care to suit the home owner and pet's needs, owners can rest assured knowing I will be there to care and keep their companion cared for whilst they're away.

About: I have owned and cared for my horse Rhona since I was 13, feeding, cleaning and maintaining her stable/field and riding her regularly. I used to travel up and down the country with her to participate in British show jumping. I have recently returned home from travelling Australia for a year so have plenty of time to look after your pets while I look for work. I am happy to follow any care instructions provided so that the pet gets the most normal routine that’s it Is used to as possible.

About: I have cared for animals my whole life, and currently have 3 extremely happy cats. I have lived with many breeds of dog over the years, and grew up with 5 cats in the house. I understand how personal it is to choose a pet sitter. Our pets are the centre of our family! I am currently working Mon-Fri 9-5, but this will stop in September 2026 when I go on maternity leave. I do not intend on returning to work following my leave, so I will be extremely flexible. In the mean time, I am available before and after work, and in my lunch breaks if within a reasonable distance. I am happy to provide care in whichever way suits you, but I am unable to offer care in my own home due to my own pets.

About: I've taken care of several dogs of every kind since I was a child. Family, friends and neighbours have relied on me to feed and play, walk and bathe with their pets, I have been a pet sitter for 2 years now I am currently available as recently started my passion and love of animals walking, pet sitting and bathing and sharing cuddles I offer a home from home service so your animals never feel unsafe I have a fenced garden with a friendly dog to give your fur baby company, I offer a home from home service I would not leave your animals for any longer than what you specify I also am fully insured and dbs checked and currently doing a animal care course with pet first aid
