“Lidia was fantastic and is already re-booked for more time with Marshawn! My dog is older and arthritic, and Lidia took lovely care of him while I was away, letting him relax in the garden and take his time with things and sending me photos. He was very content when I collected him and in no rush to leave, I think he wanted to stay longer!”
“Joy had a wonderful time with Rachel and her family. Rachel was brilliant at keeping us updated on Joy's adventures with pictures and messages and we will 100% be booking again. Thanks Rachel :)”
“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.”

“Diane was amazing from start to finish & Petra had a wonderful time. Communication was excellent and when we arrived Petra was welcomed & settled in beautifully.

“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.”

“Charlie's first visit today He is used to being with me most of the days so I was nervous even after a lovely welcoming Meet and Greet. Chelsea was great.She sent photos of him out for a walk and all day he looked really happy and smiling for the camera Chelsea was honest and said Charlie had a bit of separation anxiety at first but soon settled with her family including her own dog..which Charlie would have enjoyed.Apparently he didn't eat his meal but that's not unusual anyway!!! He ate when he got home and went to sleep quiet and contented. Great first visit.Already rebooted. I feel relaxed and happy leaving Charlie with Chelsea.”

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
“Katie was fantastic! She was incredibly kind, reliable, and clearly cares so much about the dogs she looks after. My dog loved their walks with her and always came back happy and well exercised. I’d highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.”
“Highly recommend Jo for dog walking... Jo took our dog Fly out walking on very short notice, which was greatly appreciated! Fly had a fantastic time and I felt very reassured that Jo was taking him out because she was so prompt, organised, professional and obviously loves dogs! Many thanks again ☀️”

“If you’ve got a reactive dog, you can be sure they’ll be well looked after with Reece and Lucy! In the past I’ve been so worried about leaving my cocker spaniel with sitters, but from the moment we met I could see how much these two really care about dogs and therefore would prioritise Otis’ comfort, looking out for him and having plans in place for moments where he might have gotten stressed. It turns out this was barely needed as clearly Otis felt right at home from the off, and he didn’t have a single moment of reactivity the whole weekend - which is amazing and absolutely testament to the great care that he was shown. I felt really relaxed about leaving Otis with Reece and Lucy, and I’d 100% do this again. Great comms before and during Otis’ stay too. Thank you both!!”
“Stacey was fantastic. Brilliant communication, pictures and videos. Harry was the most relaxed I’ve ever seen him, he is high energy and doesn’t like to be on his own much. The training Stacey did with him during his stay has improved his temperament. She is a real animal lover and Harry was treated as one of her own. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. I don’t think Harry wanted to leave! 5 stars, thank you Stacey 😊”
