Dog Boarding Windermere

“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!”

“Hansen had a lovely time boarding with Caragh. He was included as part of the family. It was so reassuring to receive lots of videos and photos of him enjoying himself and looking so settled. Caragh is experienced and confident - most professional and obviously loves Hansen.”

“We have just picked up Lego after her staying with Nicola for almost 3 weeks. It is obvious that Nicola has taken great care of Lego as it was clear to us that she has had a great time and they clearly adore each other. We are so pleased to have found Nicola and wouldn't want her staying anywhere else.”

“Toby had a great stay with Steven. Steven kept me up to date with how Toby was and sent pictures and Toby really looked settled when I picked him up. Steven has a nice quiet calm way about him and I will definitely use his services again.”

“My boarder collie Sam had a wonderful time with Jane and her family. Communication regarding the booking was great from the start. We met before the stay to make sure Sam would be settle and so that Jane knew about all Sam’s little quirks ☺️ He enjoyed lots of attention and lovely walks! I would definitely recommend Jane and I know Sam will be back there for another stay soon!”

“Alexandra was very responsive and gave lots of pupdates! Rupert seemed comfortable right away and even went to a gala with the family. I would happily have Rupert stay with Alexandra and her family again.”

“Well, what can I say… Pete is a lovely bloke who is clearly passionate about dogs. He has a great presence and seems to radiate calmness, which I think really helped our dog to settle with him. I can safely say that Juno will be returning to stay with her new found friend again soon. She clearly had a blast on her weekend holiday! Fantastic communication too, with updates and pictures throughout the weekend, these were greatly appreciated. Thank you Pete.”

“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 👌”

“This was the first time we have used Rover. Diana was the perfect host for our Cairn Terrier Mac. He got see lots of cool parks. And we were updated daily with great photos. He came back a very happy chappy. We would highly recommend Diana.”

“My first time using David & Donna but I collected a very happy little girl this morning. She wanted to show me her new ball and was in no hurry to leave. We will definitely reach out again.”

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”

“Rosie LOVES Reece, that's all I need to say! Second stay and she recognised the house as soon as we approached, desperate to get inside for the all important tum tickles! So glad we found you;)”

About: We had a dog as children I later owned two dogs, Daisy and Bongo (in photo gallery). In Italy, where I managed a study centre, I looked after the owners dog during their winter absence. In Yorkshire I worked in the office and house of a stud farm and looked after Bonzo the office dog. Recently, for 4 years, I walked, swam and went on adventures with a lovely bearded collie, Nelson, until he died, which was heart breaking. John, his owner, has provided a reference. Last year I joined a house sitting site and had a great year. I first looked after Rhubarb, in Yorkshire. a sun worshipper who knew when she wanted to go for a walk, and when she didn't. Then it was Reggie, a one year old terrier who kept me on my toes and was an absolute character. Then it was Knaresborough with Mollie and Maisie, the cutest, sweetest most loving pair. Lula was an anxious little Tibetan terrier who liked sleeping, a lot, and going for quiet walks on Ilkley Moor and in the woods.She even decided the river was quite nice to chill in. They all feature in the rogues gallery. Two of the owners have given references. Having lived all over the world I returned to the UK to retire. I am available from mid March until the end of October/mid November - I don't do English winters. I am totally free of commitments and can dog sit in someone's home for one to three weeks but am flexible on dates. I prefer countryside sits in new places, Yorkshire, Lakes, Lancashire coast. I could have your dog stay with me, if I am not booked on an away stay. Only older smaller dogs to stay with me please. I live opposite the beach so plenty of space to run around and enjoy the outdoors. I love the countryside, walking, swimming, reading, creative writing and painting - so am equally as happy sitting at home quietly if your dog is more of a home body! Last year was great. I had the company of some fabulous dogs. We visited National Trust properties. Walked favourite places. Explored woods. Swam in rivers. Went on car trips. Hung around in the garden at home. Had grooming sessions and belly rubs, well that's the dogs, not me. And cuddled on the couch. I met some adorable dogs and lovely owners and visited some fantastic places. I'm hoping for more of the same this year. I absolutely love dogs and for some reason dogs always adore me, even the anxious little Lula took to me straight away. All dogs are different and I'm happy to follow feeding and walking regimes. I'm good at ball throwing, belly rubbing, grooming, cuddling up and watching TV in the evenings.

“I was looking for a sitter to watch our little Banksy whilst we went on holiday. I am so so pleased with how well he has been looked after, i received constant updates and pictures of our pooch and i knew he was in safe hands. The whole process from start to finish was amazing and went so smoothly. Chelsea and Andy are fantastic dog sitters and if your pup likes other dogs then this is a little holiday for them aswell. 10/10 review, will be using chelsea and Andy again every single time we go away. Couldn’t have asked for a more amazing family to give Banksy the best week ❤️ From Scarlett and Tom”

“Finlay had a lovely stay with John and his family and came back happy and relaxed. John kept us updated with photos so we could see that Finlay was having fun and being well cared for. We would recommend John to anyone.”

“Anna-María and her partner were the perfect choice for us to look after our dog for a week. They took care of all of his specific needs perfectly and kept us updated with pics while we were away. He had a brilliant time, it was stress free for us and we will 100% book again!”

“Victoria took great care of Millie(Sprocker),she messaged and sent photos to keep me updated. I would highly recommend her and will happily leave Millie with her again.”

Miriam M.

“Katrina was great. She kept me up to date every day with photos and was very flexible with times and even asked about things like leaving the dog by himself for an hour. Her daughter also did some training with my dog. Clearly Katrina had a lot of love and respect for dogs and I’d recommend her to anyone”

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.
