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.

“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!”

“Laura was lovely. Kept me updated with WhatsApps and photos, was communicative and did appropriate checks about my cat care. Was gracious enough to make sure the "poo protests" were dealt with in my absence. Fully recommend and would use her 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: I've taken care of dogs ever since I can remember. I've always walk, fed, and bathed family, neighbours and friends pets when they ahvent been able to I'm a university student so this is very therapeutic for me around the stress of coursework and exams. It fits well into my routines as I have hours to spare each day Taking care of pets is simple, make sure they have the right amount of food, always top up the water bowl, a good amount of exercise and cuddles!

“Julianne was prompt for every drop-in visit, and her care of our 2 puppies was above and beyond what we hoped for. The dogs were very comfortable with Julianne and her partner, and clearly enjoyed their walks and their time with her. We will definitely be booking Julianne again and can thoroughly recommend her to look after your pet responsibly.”

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.
