Personalised care for your dog or cat - Copeland

“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.”

“Thanks to Katrina for taking really good care of Freya. We received regular photos and updates on how Freya was getting on. This was really reassuring, and meant that we could relax in the knowledge that she was safe and being well looked after.”

About: I have had dogs throughout my entire life and have grown up around a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I have cared for both small and large dogs, including Jack Russell Terriers, Chihuahuas, Weimaraners, and other larger breeds. Having lifelong experience with dogs has helped me become confident in understanding their different needs, behaviours, routines, and temperaments. In addition to caring for family pets, I regularly look after my partner’s mother’s dog whenever she travels. This has included longer periods of responsibility, such as caring for her dog while she was in Australia for 3–5 weeks at a time. During these stays, I have been responsible for all aspects of the dog’s daily care, including feeding, walking, exercise, playtime, companionship, maintaining routines, and ensuring their overall wellbeing and happiness while their owner is away. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their dogs are safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention when they cannot be there themselves. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and attentive, always treating every dog as if they were my own. Whether a dog enjoys long walks and lots of activity or prefers a quieter routine with plenty of affection and companionship, I am happy to adapt to their individual needs. My lifelong love of dogs means I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, getting to know their personalities, and making sure they feel secure, happy, and cared for. I am committed to providing a positive experience for both pets and their owners through dependable care, regular updates, and plenty of love and attention. My partner has a daughter who is with us Thursday-Saturday. I am currently taking a career break and wanting to go down the dog boarding route so thinking this will be the best route to carry on my skills and experience. I will be available everyday. I have a large enclosed back garden with a six foot fence around so plenty of room to play safely :) I have no other pets.

“Our dogs stayed with Kat for four nights and we were absolutely delighted with the service. It was truly a home-from-home experience. The boys were so well looked after and clearly very happy when we collected them. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend Kat to anyone looking for loving, reliable care for their dogs!”

“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 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.

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'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!

“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 grew up being surrounded by doggos ! I would often help my nan with the retired greyhounds she would rescue (at one point I think there was around 8) we also had numerous furry family members growing up , whippets, Italian greyhounds & shitzus to name a few! We now have our Sprocker (springer x cocker spaniel) Charlie who is 6 years old and the centre of our world. He has separation anxiety so isnt keen on being left alone for any period of time - this is something we have learned to manage and have experience in. I am currently enrolled in a dog first aid course. I also have my own private pet sitter insurance with PetPlan Sanctuary to give you extra peace of mind. We are around weekends generally out walking with Charlie for at least 2 hours. Tues-Thurs I am available after 4pm and Monday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday I am available all day (work from home days are Monday and Friday). I only ever walk one dog at a time (solo walks only) I am able to look after your dogs within your own home to ensure their normal routine is not affected, I am happy to sleep wherever is best suited for your family & your dog and happy to follow any guidelines you set out to make your pets life more comfortable while you are gone. When allowing someone into your home to look after your family member it is so important to me we are all a good match and I fit your needs - for this reason a meet and greet is essential prior to any home boarding.

“Emily is brilliant with Danya, she wants to know everything about him to ensure that he’s walked comfortably and securely , thank you again ! :)”
