“Svitlana looked after our dog Perrie for a day and overnight whilst we attended a wedding. She was great from the beginning, kept us updated throughout the day on how Perrie was getting on, and Perrie had a great time staying with her. Unfortunately we don’t live in the area, but would definitely look to book Svitlana again if we were ever up this way, and would definitely recommend her!”
“Just got Rosey back from her holiday with Kat 🥳🥳 what can we say a massive Ty for looking and loving our Rosey ! We can see she had a lovely time 🙏 pics sent and contact made, very responsive to messages would not hesitate to recommend Kat ! The whole process from booking through Rover to Kat picking up Rosey was a breeze, & will definitely be booking again !!”
“Hunter and Monty have just got back from an amazing weekend stay with Katrina. She has looked after them so well with lovely walks, games and chill times on the setee, sending us regular photos and videos to keep us updated of their adventures. Katrina was also happy to deal with their raw food diet and medication which was great. I would wholeheartedly recommend Katrina as a great person to look after your dogs and will definitely be using her again.”
“Sharon was very welcoming and took great care of our greyhound Louis for an overnight stay in their home. She provided lots of updates and went on some lovely looking walks, with pictures provided too so we could see that Louis was having fun adventures and also settled in nicely for snoozes. Would highly recommend!”
“Angela and Paul are just fantastic. My two dogs had a great time with them again and came home shattered. It is all about the dog(s) and I have no problem at all leaving my two in their care. Thank you both.”
“When I went to pick up Lenny and Boo from Helen for a nights stay they didn’t seem best pleased to see me so I knew then they were very happy. Helen was very friendly towards me and my 2 dogs so I knew she was a prefect match for all of us. I don’t ever leave Lenny and Boo but now I have found Helen I will feel when needed comfortable to leave them. I would highly recommend Helen but not too much because if she gets too busy it will be hard for me to get a booking lol”
About: I’m an experienced dog owner with a lurcher of my own, so I’m very used to the day-to-day care, routines, exercise and attention dogs need. I’m confident handling dogs on walks, keeping them settled and comfortable, and making sure they get plenty of company and affection. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your dog, and I’ll always care for them as if they were my own. I work but have the ability to work from home and so my availability is flexible throughout the week. I typically walk my own dog twice a day. I have a fenced, 7 acre fellside garden (I live on an old farm), so in addition to twice daily walks there is also plenty of space for walking and running about throughout the day. My own dog is very chilled and has no problems with other dogs. My house is very dog friendly, lying on the furniture is fine, I also have a large crate I no longer use which can be used for dogs who need it.
“Beth has been a godsend due to being let down at last minute with our pet sitter. She accepted our last minute booking and was a great communicator, helping us with directions and asking the necessary questions relating to our two border terriers. The girls were well looked after and we got many photos during their weeks stay.”
“Used Mollie for the first time at the weekend and our dog Sadie was welcomed and made to feel at home straight away. I wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thank you for looking after our precious pooch.”
“Simply put, Lexie is wonderful and your fur babies will be extremely well looked after and loved and you get lots of updates and pictures. Thanks again Lexie, Dottie will see you again in December.”
“Bethany was amazing with Muldoon, sent loads of updates of them out on walks over the weekend and he seemed sad to be leaving! Would definitely recommend and will think of her when we need a sitter in the future.”
About: I am a young, fit individual who loves going on walks and spending time with animals🐾🏔️☺️ I can provide daily visits for dogs (or cats), dog walking, doggy day care or at times overnight boarding! For overnight boarding the dogs are allowed on the sofa, and there are lots of toys and balls to play with here too☺️ 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🚘 If my availability doesn’t suit, don’t hesitate to send a request or message anyways and I will see what I can do. My partner often helps me too if I am unavailable🥰 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.
“5* review - Katy is extremely passionate and knowledgable with dogs, she treats your fur baby exactly like her own. Biggie had a lovely few nights staying with her, Chris and Tiger. She sent regular updates & photos of what they had been upto and it totally put my mind at ease. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and reliable dog sitter then she is your woman! 😊”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life. From walking my family’s dogs from a young age to looking after friends dogs for the past 5 years and having my own cocker spaniel for 2 years now.

I have a fenced garden and plenty of local walks around and a field opposite my house. I also love going to the Lake District with my dog so would be able to provide plenty of adventure for your dog. I can crate your dog if needed and provide plenty of toys and fun.

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.
“Angus had a great time with Lexie today. Lexie sent me regular updates on Angus putting my mind at ease. And from the pictures I recieved I can tell he enjoyed every moment of it! I will certainly be booking again.”
“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: Hi, I’m Beki 🐾 A lifelong pet lover, I treat every furry friend like my own. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or playtime, I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. Reliable care + photo updates = peace of mind for you and tail wags for them! I’m currently working part time Monday to Wednesday. This means that I have time on Thursdays, Fridays at most times of the day and potentially weekends. I currently have no other pets (which is why I want to look after yours, I love the company!). I have an enclosed garden for lots of play.
“We booked Lourdes for a day whilst in the area and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. From messages, which reassured me that she was professional, friendly and knew what she was doing, to the day itself. Arlo had not met Lourdes before and he settled quickly, and had a lovely day with her. She took extra care with the hot weather to give him some outside time in a shaded area by the lake, and kept us updated with regular photos. He had a lovely time. I cannot recommend her highly enough and should we be back in the Lakes we will definitely use again.”
“Paul was fantastic, completely set our mind at ease and our dog Barney clearly warmed to him quickly. First time leaving Barney with anyone else and would have no hesitation leaving him with Paul again- hopefully we will be able to in the future. Thanks so much Paul!”

“Rebecca was welcoming and friendly. Communication was great. Poppy seemed to take to her on arrival which is unusual for my unsociable girl. I couldn't have asked for a better experience for Poppy's first time in day care. I'd certainly recommend Rebecca. Worth more stars.”

About: Dogs and cats have been in my life since I was little. I love taking care of them and making sure they are having a good time with me. For that reason I set myself up as professional dog walker in 2024. I find it very rewarding to look after other peoples dogs providing them with quality walking time and spend my days mainly outdoors...even if Cumbrian weather puts it's mark on it occasionally. I have a DBS check, attended a Canine Body Language course and Pets first aid course plus have dog walking+pet sitting insurance in place. I am a full time dog walker in Cockermouth and offer local pop-ins, pet visits. I am currently in the process of applying for home boarding license which will allow me to offer doggy day care and sleepovers (max 3 nights and up to medium size dogs). My working hours are 8am-8pm for 7 days of the week. I have a van set up for safe dog transport for my dog walking clients and fenced garden for day care and sleepover clients. Your dog will stay with me all the time while in my care.
