“We left Teddy with Lidia for two days while we attended a wedding. Lidia and her husband were very friendly and welcoming. He was well looked after, and we would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a lovely place for their dog to stay.”
“Rachel looked after my little dog Bentley for 2 days and overnight stay. Felt more than happy and he had a great stay. Sent me pictures and informed me of his well being. Would be more than happy to leave with Rachel again. Top service 👌”
“My golden doodle, Jimmy, had an overnight stay with Alex in her home. I was very happy with the service she provided. She is clearly an experienced dog sitter and was very attentive to all of his needs. She sent us texts, a video and photos so that I knew Jimmy was behaving himself, which was very reassuring. When I arrived to collect Jimmy, he was stretched out on her windowsill, enjoying the sunshine, and was very relaxed. I would highly recommend her as a dog sitter and we have booked Jimmy in to spend 9 days with her in September. I can now look forward to my holiday and feel confident that my dog will be absolutely fine and well looked after by Alex whilst we are away.”
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 :)
“Daisy 2nd day care with Liv and she had so much fun playing with her doggies going on a little adventure walk and overall just having doggy fun. Lots of updates which is always lovely helps out my mind at rest as I hate leaving her but I know she is in safe and loving hands. Thanks Liv xx”

“Katie recently helped out with some daycare for our Cocker Spaniel whilst we attended a wedding in Grasmere. She was amazing - incredibly committed, reliable and caring. The arrangements were all slightly complex, but she showed up exactly as agreed and even came late on Friday to meet Archie to help manage his anxiety. She is brilliant and I have no hesitation recommending.”

She is so caring and her love and passion for dogs is quite clear as soon as you meet her. We couldn't leave Lego with anyone better. Nicola makes sure that it is a home from home for her. Thank you for looking after our little girl and we will see you next week.”
“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’ve grown up with dogs and mainly retrievers. I have always wanted to work with animals. I studied at an animal college in the Lakes and completed a 2:1 degree in Animal Behaviour and Welfare in Gloucestershire. I have experience with dog sitting and walking through caring for dogs locally via a pet care website (Borrow my Doggy) with my parents, looking after a range of breeds from terriers to Labradors. I do have brief experience with other animals such as cats (did work experience in a cattery when I was younger) and reptiles (handling/training sessions at college and University during practicals) I am a calm and reliable pet lover who will provide your dog with that comfort that they deserve. I am on Rover especially around the quieter winter months. Dog walking fits into my routine on a flexible basis. At the moment I have quite a lot of availability and can plan my days around dog walking/care Although I will be doing mainly dog walking, if there ever is a chance I need to do a drop in visit in the future or house sitting at mine, my house is pet free and safe. I live in a quiet woodland area away from the main road, I am lucky to live on a road with most of my neighbours owning pets, so it’s a great little community. There’s plenty of green spaces and walks nearby
