This was the first time we have let someone we didn't know look after Luna. Karina was caring and supportive of us and Luna throughout the process. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you.

Just amazing… Archie felt right at home as soon as he met Lidia & her husband. To be able to leave your fur baby for a period of time in a place that your dog feels is “home away from home” is fantastic. Thanks so much for looking after Archie. He’s looking forward to his next visit soon!

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: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 8, looking after our family dog daily. For the past two years, I’ve regularly cared for my boyfriend’s puppy, including solo walks, holidays together, and plenty daily walks, even on the beach! I truly love dogs and, after losing my own, I want to share that love by helping others care for theirs. I’m careful, attentive, and very aware of my surroundings on walks. I live close to many beautiful short and long walking routes in the lakes and have both a large, secure garden and a safely fenced courtyard for dogs. I have a flexible part-time job and work self-employed two days a week, so my availability can often be adjusted. I’m available most weekday evenings and usually every other weekend and I’m always happy to work out what’s best for you and your dog. I love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always prioritise trust, attention, and enjoyable walks! I will make sure things are easy and stress-free for both dogs and their owners :)

Susan (and her husband) did a great job of caring for Ruby, while I attended my daughters graduation. Ruby is very anxious and has some health needs. Susan was very calm and gentle, letting Ruby settle in at her own pace and adapting her care to accommodate Ruby's needs and routine. I got lots of updates and photos through the day, giving me confidence and peace of mind that Ruby was in safe and loving hands. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Susan. Thank you so much for making Ruby feel at home and giving her all the love and cuddles she 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.

About: My wife and I both grew up in houses that always had dogs although when we moved in together we always felt too busy to get our own. Luckily for us, mum and dad's dogs tended to stay over whenever they went away. We got the fun part of being around a dog, and the companionship that brings, but also the freedom not be tied down once they returned home. Now that I've retired, I'm free weekdays, weekends, evenings, extended stays or even staying at the dog's place if that was needed. Ideally I like seeing the same dog, or dogs, more than once so I can feel they see me as familiar and a small part of their lives. I usually miss them when they go home! We live right on the former railway line which is now a path and so is ideal. I love walking although am restricted to a steady pace because I suffer with ILD (lung disease). I can do fairly lengthy walks although can't go fast and hills really slow me down. This means that a small to medium sized (or an older) dog is my best fit although I have looked after dogs as young as one. Retirement means more availability so I'm ideally suited to being around for a dog when you're busy. I prefer to keep the flexibility that caring for other people's dogs provides, which is why I'm not looking to have a dog of my own full time. The fact I have the lung disease means it's best for me to keep active as much as I'm able and having a dog around gives the push to walk multiple times a day. We have very small garden which is fenced off but mostly it'll be walks to get out and about. We have an admittedly small 3 bedroom house so a small to medium size dog would fit best. The dog will sleep in the living room preferably in a bed provided by the owners. Although this site asks whether we'd allow the dog to be in furniture or beds, I'd prefer to stick with whatever it's used to at home.

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'm at my happiest when spending time with dogs. I have my own amazing dog called Moose who is a Labrador Spaniel mixed breed and I have previously looked after different dog breeds from small to large including Irish Setter, Dachshund, Jack Russel, Corgi and Labrador. This has involved walks, dog sitting for up to a week and taking them for day trips out in our car. I will always treat your dog with the absolute love, care and attention and treat them as if they were my own. I'll always respect your rules, and continue any training that you practice at home so that you can keep a routine with your dog. Any questions at all, please do not hesitate to get in touch! I'm self-employed and work from home, which means I can adjust my routine around any dog caring responsibilities. This means I'm very flexible with times and am available for dog walking and dog sitting at your home throughout the week and over weekend. In your home I will follow your rules and routine. That includes training, feeding times and whether your dog is allowed on furniture. I'm happy to spend quality time playing with your dog, sitting on the sofa with them or giving them space, depending on you and your dogs preferences.

Eva loved her stay with Savannah and Saj. Eva is a bit nervous but they are so lovely she settled quickly. They are professional and thorough, finding out Eva’s likes and dislikes- we felt confident leaving Eva in their care. We got some lovely photos of Eva getting cuddles and playing with the other gentle dog. She came back happy and relaxed. We would highly recommend Savannah and Saj.

Fraser had a wonderful time with Flora. She was excellent at communicating and even made time for a meet and greet beforehand and took the time to understand Fraser’s routines and ask questions. Her flat has a very secure outdoor space, and she took Fraser for two walks. Fraser immediately fell asleep when we got home and was still tired all of the next day! I will defiantly be booking Flora again.

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: We've been around dogs and cats all our lives, our own and those of friends: holiday care, taking out for walks, dropping in and simply sharing the sofa. Outdoors, we love walks of any length and terrain and, indoors, much time is spent reading and writing. Having taught in both primary and secondary schools for (too many) decades, we now work part-time and very flexibly. Because this work is mainly done from anywhere with an internet connection/mobile network coverage, we can accommodate caring for your four-legged family members around your needs. Consequently, when you place your trust in us to care for your pets, either Dave or Victoria - and sometimes both of us - will there to look after your cats or dogs. If you just need a wellbeing/feeding drop-in or a dog walk, we will organise a time that works best for you. If you prefer greater supervision of your pet, we will be sitting in your home with a book, notepad or laptop. (We've also been known to do customers' washing-up and ironing too!)

About: With years of hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and more, I know that every pet is unique and I treat them that way. I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and needs, whether that’s long countryside walks, quiet cuddle time, or just making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart? I’m not just a sitter I’m a calm, friendly presence your pet can rely on. I’m patient with nervous animals, confident with big energy, and I truly enjoy bonding with every pet I care for. I offer local, flexible help that’s full of heart (and belly rubs!). Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I build my schedule around the needs of the animals I look after whether that’s morning walks, feeding times, play sessions, or quiet visits for company and cuddles. I'm flexible, reliable, and happy to adjust to each pet’s routine, making sure they feel safe, settled, and cared for while you're away. I provide friendly, reliable care for pets in the comfort of their own home. I follow their usual routine, including feeding, playtime, company, and dog walks tailored to their needs. Whether it’s cats, dogs, rabbits, or small furries, I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away because they’re more than pets, they’re family.

This was the first time we have let someone we didn't know look after Luna. Karina was caring and supportive of us and Luna throughout the process. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you.

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.

Just amazing… Archie felt right at home as soon as he met Lidia & her husband. To be able to leave your fur baby for a period of time in a place that your dog feels is “home away from home” is fantastic. Thanks so much for looking after Archie. He’s looking forward to his next visit soon!

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

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 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.

Ragnar had had amazing time with sarge and savannah as always. They treat him like one of their own and he loves every minute of it. He always comes home so chilled and relaxed and like he's never been away. It's a home away from home 🐾🐺😘

Fantastic dog sitter. Stepped in at the last minute, great communication before hand, came and went exactly as planned and could not have been better. Parker loved Harriet - he wanted to go with her when she left! She even lent me a handbag for my even when I realised I had not packed one. 11/10, thanks Harriet

Ellen took such wonderful care of Tamu, she took her on lots of walks and gave her heaps of attention so she came home very content! She also kindly stayed in regular touch sending pictures, I am very grateful to Ellen and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to look after their dog and will certainly be using her in the future - thanks!
