“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!”
“Fantastic sitter and such a lovely person. Booking for mine and my mums dog, my mum was quite nervous leaving her senior dog for a few nights but can't believe how settled she was. Both of our girls have come back happy and relaxed”
“Sharon looked after our dog Molly for one night and day in her home, and I couldn't be happier with the care she provided. Molly had a brilliant time, she was taken on plenty of walks, and we received regular updates and videos which really put our minds at ease. Sharon clearly loves what she does and treated Molly like one of her own. I'd definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“Parker seemed to have a lovely time with Angela. She followed all our instructions and he settled in really well. He had lots of walks and food and cuddles and we’d definitely be happy to use them again.”
“Katrina looked after our working cocker and she exceeded all expectations! She provided regular ‘pupdates’ including pictures of him out having fun! The little guy had such a great time and actually looked sad when we got him in the car to leave! Thank you so much and I know chef can’t until his next sleepover - can’t recommend highly enough!”
“Helen and her husband were new dog sitters in their home for our WCS for a few days. I was instantly at ease with them both and they clearly have a lot of experience. I received photos and could see she was enjoying her time with them. Great comms, kind and professional. Very happy to recommend and a lovely spot on the very edge of the city with lots of lovely walks nearby. Just perfect for our busy WCS 😊”
“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.”
“Lexie what’s a great Sitter for our dog Parker. She offered to come and meet him beforehand so she could get to know him and his needs. She sent photos while we were away and he seemed very happy and comfortable there. Would use again.”
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.
“Isla was very happy staying over at Mollie's house. Isla can be a bit over friendly 🫣 but Mollie handled this really well and took great care of her. Isla is looking forward to her next visit already!! 🐾🐾”
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 currently work 3 days a week so have atleast 4 days available to love, play and walk your fur babies. My cocker spaniel loves making new friends and loves doggy company. 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.
“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! 😊”
“Thank you so much for looking after toff, especially at such short notice. The updates were perfect, and he was clearly very happy to spend the week with boy Rebecca’s dogs. We would definitely use again, and I will try locate toffs off button so he is welcome back 🤣”

“Kat is brilliant with Castle. He loves the games when Kat is with him - sniff search games, tug - and he gets time in the garden to do what he needs to do. Settles quickly after a visit into snoozing for the afternoon.”
“Contacted Karis last minute before going away for a few days, she made time beforehand to come visit us and our kitties to get to know them. Was kept up to date on them while we were away and came home to happy and settled cats :)”

“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: 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.
“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.”

“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!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Gail was fantastic with looking after our Cavachon, Maisie for some daycare and we felt very reassured leaving her, along with lovely Luna the Cockapoo! Maisie seemed completely relaxed being there and Gail was very kind, helpful and communicative throughout the whole process. Would happily recommend and rebook. Thanks Gail!”
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.
“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.
“Kat always goes above and beyond when taking Wilma on walks. Our dog is reactive and I feel so lucky to have found a dog walker who I trust and understands her. Really recommend Kat, Wilma is always in the best mood after her walks and I am so grateful to have such a brilliant dog walker!!”
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!
“Sharon was absolutely amazing when she looked after Mickey for us. It gave us total peace of mind that he was well looked after and having a good time. I would 100% recommend Sharon, she is so lovely and even sent us a few photos.”
