“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.”
“Helen had our dog for 2 weeks and he seemed very happy there. She followed all the instructions I left and took him for lots of walk. She also sent lots of photographs to keep us informed about how he was doing. I would definitely use her again..”
“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.”
“Excellent, would highly recommend! We came to the lakes for a few days for our daughter’s wedding and to take away a bit of the pressure our two went for an overnight stay with Kat. They came back very happy and not stressed in the slightest. Kat sent photos showing them chilled, snoozing and very settled which made us know we had made the right choice. Great communication throughout from start to finish (not so much from me 😂 sorry Kat!). To conclude, I would definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
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.
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.
“Michelle and her partner took such good care of our wee Ruby. We felt very reassured and always got updates from Michelle. Ruby got on well with their cockapoo Ronny aswell. Would recommend Michelle for all your furry friends!”
“We were so pleased to find Svitlana when we needed somewhere in Workington for our dog to stay. Sivtlana was quick and professional to communicate with and very willing to be flexible with us when we couldn't confirm exact drop off time til close to the day, and also when we needed to collect our dog early due to a change in our plans. Had a lovely video of Harley playing, so I'm sure he had a great stay :) We'll rebook if we are in need to have him stay in Workington again.”
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was a young baby from collies to labs to spaniels then to my two gorgeous pugs who lived until 17 & 16 I work full time at home with my husband who also works full time at home so there is someone in 24/7 7 days a week We are used to have a couple of dogs in the house so that’s no problem If you have two or three dogs We also have experience with not only young dogs having dogs since pups but also elderly dogs as our dogs lived a long 17 & 16 years so we are aware of the difference in pace We live in the beautiful countryside in the village of Haltwhistle in a 4 bedroom stone built house surround by endless fields and stunning settings. We have a garden at the back which is fenced & also a gated yarden
“Katy and Chris were fantastic! Ruby had such a good time while she stayed with them. She got on so well with her buddy Tiger their golden retriever. We felt very reassured throughout her stay because Katy was excellent at keeping in touch with us with pictures and updating us what they all got up to. Will definitely book again and highly recommend Katy and Chris for your furry friends :)”

“I received lots of pictures from each visit. Estera was very kind and lovely! Would definitely recommend using her and next time I'm on a trip, I will definitely be using her again.”
“Bethany was outstanding and we are so grateful she stepped in at short notice to look after our two cats. One cat likes to bring 'presents' and Bethany took it in her stride. We will definitely been using her regularly on weekends away. She also drove out to us which was a life saver. Thanks so much”
“Linzi as always does a fantastic job. The cats really take to her and she shows she has a such a nice nature with them. As always brings in any parcels left and even covered our outdoor furniture which had blown off. Always feel happy that they are looked after.”
“Rebecca visited as arranged to look after my 2x ungrateful cats who hid away out of sight. Felt at ease that they would be ok under Rebeccas care whilst I went away for a couple of days”
About: I started off caring for pets just as a side job but I’ve got to say, in my experience, I love cats way more than dogs! All together I have cared for 3 different cats, 1 of them several times for a friend. I love their personalities and have experience in both outdoor and indoor cats. I have basic level first aid training. I am happy to administer medication on consent. I know have adopted a cat of my own, a lovely tabby named Bambi
“Helen is an excellent cat minder, and Serge was a great helper. I was very nervous leaving Milo for the first time ever, but Helen’s experience truly shows in her care and she put me at ease. Helen stepped in at short notice for three nights and looked after him wonderfully. Helen carefully managed his wound care by keeping it completely clean and dry. Her regular photo and video updates gave me peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a relaxed, happy and perfectly healing cat. I would definitely recommend Helen.”
About: Hi, I’m Cat! I have a 15 year-old cat and a rescue collie, so I understand pets with all kinds of needs from senior companions to nervous pups. I’ve volunteered in dog kennels, hold a Pet First Aid certificate, and am expanding my animal care training. Whether it’s walks, sitting, or just keeping your pets company, I’ll treat them with the same love and patience I give my own. I am a full-time freelance artist so I can work around your schedule and needs. I make sure to plan my bookings carefully so your pets always get the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow their usual routines to help them feel safe and comfortable whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or companionship. I’ll make sure fresh water is always available, give them lots of love and attention and send you regular updates so you know how they’re doing. I treat every home with respect, leaving it just as I found it, so you can relax knowing both your pets and your space are well cared for.
About: I have grown up with dogs. My mum used to teach at a puppy school and with her guidance my family has cared for dogs of all ages. As I grew older I learned how to be more involved in caring for our dogs as I was occasionally in charge of walking, feeding and caring for them by myself and would assist my mother with vet visits and training aspects. To this day she remains someone I contact occasionally with questions when dog sitting and through her, I realized what an honor it is to be trusted with caring for someone's pet. Since starting university, I have been able to work as a dog sitter through Rover and looked after various pets, either for short-times when their families went to work or for longer periods when they went on holiday. I am student, which gives me some flexibility when it comes to my weekday schedule. Though I have to attend classes on campus throughout the week, I sometimes have a few hours free in between classes and tend to finish around noon on Wednesdays and Thursdays. No pet I would take care of would have to stay home alone for longer than a few hours and if you have any concerns, feel free to reach out, so I can let you know what my schedule looks like during the time you would need a sitter. On weekends, I can arrange to stay with your pet for the entirety of the visit. I live in student halls, which unfortunately, does not allow pets. Therefore, I am unable to accept bookings for dog boarding and daycare. However, I am more than happy to look after your pet at your place if you are comfortable with that or pick them up for a walk. Please understand I won't unleash your dog unless I have taken care of them for a while and only with your permission. I own a long leash that I have often connected to whatever leash is provided by the owner to maximize the freedom of your dog and there are also some fenced areas at a park nearby where I am comfortable letting dogs roam freely. Please discuss any needs of yours or your pet and I will do my best to accommodate them.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally. I’ve spent years around all kinds of breeds and personalities, from high energy springer spaniels to independent dachshunds and loyal German shepherds. At home we have one of each, so I know first-hand how different their needs, routines and quirks can be. Whether it’s long walks, playtime or just making them feel safe and happy, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I am home from uni for summer, so I can take them on short/long walks across Hadrian’s wall. Or we can relax at home, on the sofa 😛 I treat both the dog and the space with the same care and respect I would my own. I know how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable in their usual surroundings, so I stick to their normal routine and keep things calm and consistent. I’m tidy, reliable and always make sure everything’s left just how I found it — except maybe with a happier, well-walked dog.
About: Have owned cats for 25 years, and now have a wonderful Lurcher who has been in my life for 3 years now. I also have loaned horses for many years. I am available for dog walks and pet visits on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. SHort notice visits are usually ok, please contact me with your queries! :) I can offer dog walks from your property - ie. I wouldn't be driving your dog to the start of the walk. I am also happy to do home visits.

“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.”
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.

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.
“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.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since a young age, you can rely on me to look after your dog as if it was my own. I have a Level 3 extended diploma in Animal Management, setting me aside from others I have a true passion for animals and mainly dogs. I am currently trying to start up my own small business as a dog Walker and I would love to add your dog/dogs into my business. I treat every dog as I would like mine to be treated, with care! I would make sure that every dog is treated with 100% love!
“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!”
“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 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😁”
“Our little Narla spent the day with Michelle & Ronny & absolutely loved it, she had loads of fun with Ronny, she just loves company. Would highly recommend Michelle 🌟 🌟”

About: I have had a rescue dog for 14 years and another dog from a puppy for 4 years. They are both loved and cherished, and your pet would be treated exactly the same. I also have experience working with animals at animal charities for the last 11 years and looking after friends' dogs frequently too. I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am happy to have them in my home as long as they fit in with my dog and kids, or I can come to your home if preferred. I have a fully fenced back garden and a very easygoing labradoodle who would like to play if your dog wants to, but is happy to give space if your dog prefers. I am fit and active so happy to give long walks if wanted.
