I can’t recommend Angela and Paul enough and would absolutely trust them with our precious boy in the future.”

About: I am a young, fit individual who loves going on walks and spending time with my dogs. I can provide daily visits for cats and dogs, dog walking, doggy day care or at times overnight boarding. If my availability doesn’t suit, don’t hesitate to send a request or message anyways and I will see what I can do. 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🚘 Please don’t hesitate to message any questions. 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.
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.

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.”
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.
“I would 100% recommend Svitlana for any dog sitting duties. She looked after my little Ollie last minute yesterday and she was so lovely and patient. He had such a lovely time & I was sent lots of pictures and reassurance throughout the day. Thank you so much!”

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.
“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!”
“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!!”
“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: 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.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and truly see them as a treasured part of the family. I’ve owned dogs myself and have also cared for many dogs for friends and family over the years. I’m experienced with a variety of breeds and personalities, including hounds, terriers, collies, dachshunds as well as mixed breeds. This has helped me become comfortable adapting to different energy levels, routines, and care needs. I have recently adopted a little cockapoo girl who is my bundle of joy, she is super friendly and loves meeting new dogs. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I will treat your dog like my own, always making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after while in my care. I work from home full time Tuesday through to Friday, which means dogs in my care have plenty of company throughout the day. Because I’m home, I can offer regular toilet breaks, playtime, treats, and lots of cuddles so they never feel lonely. During the day, I have natural downtime where I can feed, play, and spend time with your dog. Dogs will usually enjoy a 45-minute lunchtime walk and a longer walk once I finish work, along with plenty of cuddles and a good old snooze. I will always want to make your dog feel safe and like part of the family whilst staying with me, so I am happy to tailor my approach to your dog. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, adult-only household with no children, which helps create a calm and relaxed environment for visiting dogs. I also have my own 8-month-old cockapoo, Roxi, who is very friendly and loves meeting new dog friends. She’s sociable, playful, and used to sharing her space with other dogs. The house has a secure, fully enclosed rear garden where dogs can safely go out for fresh air and toilet breaks whenever they need. We’re also lucky to have several parks and green spaces nearby, which are perfect for daily walks and exercise. I always follow each dog’s usual routine as closely as possible and take time to make sure they feel comfortable and settled in my home. Dogs are supervised, given plenty of attention, and treated like part of the family while they stay with me. I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so you and your dog feel completely comfortable, and I’ll send regular photo and message updates during their stay so you can see how they’re getting on.

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.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was around 13. I’ve always had such a love for furry friends and would always take all my neighbours dogs out too. Since my little one passed away last year I’m looking to fill the hole it has left in my life 💗 I’m currently on gardening leave for the next month so can pet sit and dog walk whenever needed, usually at short notice too (if I’m not in the fells already!) I have a fenced garden and live on a very quiet street. Dogs will be allowed anywhere in the house (or to preference) and will be taken into the National park with us on the weekend for long walks around the lakes and in the mountains, with permission of course!

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.
