Dog Boarding in South Lakeland

“James and his lovely fiancée Grace were brilliant, so easy going and accommodating. My dog seemed to have a brilliant time! Beautiful home to stay in, with lovely surrounding countryside”

“Jade regularly takes care of our Australian Shepherd Scout who quite clearly adores her!! She is amazing with our boy, always sending regular ‘pupdates’ and taking him on super long walks! Highly recommend Jade for your next pet sit 🐾”

“Tilly has been most expertly cared for by Lorna. Medication given no problem. I have had no worries while I have been away and have trusted Lorna implicitly. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She even sent me a few photos and reassured me all was well.”

About: I grew up with a mad, wonderful springer spaniel, and now dogsit my friend's two working cockers regularly. Love their company, especially on long walks! I work from home and get out every day, so pretty easy and flexible for having a dog join me most days/times (I sometimes travel to London for work, which is the only reason I don't have my own) I have a fenced back garden, and plenty of room inside for a crate if needed. I also get out for walks or runs all the time, and would love more doggy company!

About: I have been a qualified veterinary nurse for 2 years and have worked in a veterinary practice for 5 years. I also have a lot of experience in dog sitting. I work 4 days a week, my role as a veterinary nurse allows me to take my own dog and others to work which allows regular toilet opportunities and a mid day walk as well as morning and evening. During the weekend I love to stay active and venture into the Lake District which is where I am originally from I currently have a 14 year old border collie (who I share with my parents) and a 7 month old border collie who loves making new friends! I have an enclosed garden which is great for toileting.

“Judith was brilliant looking after my dog, she was in regular contact and I could tell there is genuine love in taking care of my dog. Would definitely recommend and will be using her each time I require my dog to be looked after.”

About: I have always lived and cared for dogs and am comfortable with large and small breeds. From a young age I have had large breeds with a variety of personalities - so am well experienced with all kinds of behaviour from dogs. I love walking in the mountains, and would love a companion to take on my walks, but am also open to smaller breeds that can keep me company at home. I am fortunate enough to work from home 2 days a week so am also able to offer overnight stays during the week. All week days are available upon request. I can be flexible and try to accommodate your specific needs. I am able to work from home during the week if required and am therefore able to offer weekend and weekday overnight stays. I live in the Lake District with plenty of lovely walking routes. I also have a fenced garden so your dog can play in the garden. I have one small cat, called Nala. She is a timid cat and will likely stay out or stay upstairs away from the dog, but she is harmless. Please provide your dogs bed so I can ensure they feel as comfortable as possible.

About: I have 2 dogs at home and I’ve done 2 years of animal care at college I know how walk feed and groom very good with animals I’m free all the time to look after animals just ring me when you need me. Do weekend afternoon and nights and evening to look after Yes I have 2 dogs of my own I’ve looked after I’ve helped helped out at shelters with dogs and other animals and cats very good

“I am always a little concerned leaving Lola with anyone. As she didn't have a good start in life. I had a very good feeling on our first meeting with Ian and Tracy. I immediately felt at ease as they clearly experienced and comfortable with dogs. They have two dogs of their own and Lola was happy to be with them. I always feel a little nervous and guilty when we go away. So to have someone like Ian and Tracy who reassures you, that she will be well looked after, gives you peace of mind. Excellent communication received, with regular updates and photos, this all helped us. Lola had lots of walks and play time, she was very happy and relaxed when we picked her up. ` I will definitely be using Ian and Tracy again. I highly recommend them for dog boarding. Thank you again.”

About: I have been running my business Pooches N Pals for over 2 years now and have had regulars stay with me since the beginning. I added home boarding to the service list this year and I'm fully licensed with Lancaster city council. I have been home checked, and fully insured to ensure your dogs safety and welfare whilst you're away. They'll be treated as one of my own. I am a full time dog walker and home boarder. The dogs fit into our household and we work with their routine too. I have had several happy boarding clients so far this year and we love adding to the family for anything from a weekend to a fortnight. We have a friendly cocker spaniel who loves everyone, and a cat who rules the house! So dogs need to be sociable to live with another dog and no cat aggression. They will also go in group walks during the week with me at work.

“I have known Izzy for over a year and trusted her on many occasions with my own dog. She has taken the dog on walks, runs, fed and generally looked after her. She’s always great with my dog and there’s always an excited squeal and lots of tail wagging whenever the dog sees her arrive.”

“Excellent dog walker really friendly my dog loves going out with him on walks and good time keeping good value for money. He also takes my dog to day care for me too very versatile.”

“Bess is friendly and very knowledgeable about dogs. She looked after our two Border Terriers over a weekend. The dogs were happy and settled with Bess. They got great walks and we got just the right amount of updates to put our minds at rest. We will certainly use her again.”

“Steve was absolutely fantastic - we had a phone call and lots of messages before the stay over, loads of pics and pupdates throughout. He even dropped my dog off to me at the end! Massive thanks for allaying my owner anxieties about leaving my dog. Would recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Chen is the perfect sitter! She was super attentive and prepared. She creates such a lovely and welcoming environment for the dogs she sits! Leo had plenty of walks and play time with Chen, evidenced by photos and videos, which Chen sent on a regular basis, which is super reassuring! It’s clear she loves dogs, and besides being a brilliant sitter, she’s also a lovely woman ❤️”

“Lois was highly professional, trust worthy and showed genuine love and care for my little pooch! She really went above and beyond to ensure my dog was happy in her care whilst we were away on holiday. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a dog sitter, and I will 100% be reaching out to her again in the future. Thank you Lois for your outstanding service and taking such great care of Luna!”

“I have used Michelle’s services for many years and I’m so glad to have found someone I can rely on to take care of Bella 🐶”

“Don and Jen have been brilliant. I really appreciated the photos and little updates about Wurzels adventures during his weekend with them. Prior to his stay, we met both Don and Jen and had a little walk to get to know each other. They are really flexible and understanding...and what a fab location! The beach is directly over the (quiet, residential) road. Thank you again guys.”

“My dog Cai had a wonderful stay with Poppy, Poppy kept me updated over the weekend with lots of pictures. And Cai was given lots of walks and lots of love. Thank you so much! Would definitely book again ☺️”

“What a wonderful sitter! I’ve never felt so confident leaving Lily with anyone. Lily’s a feisty old dachshund, and can take a moment(!) to warm to new people. It took her no more than 10 seconds to feel safe and trust Alex, and you don’t get a higher compliment than that”
