Caroline
Providing Pet Sitting in the Kirkoswald, United Kingdom
Mature, experienced and trustworthy...and crazy about dogs!!
Caroline and Rob are the best the house sitters you could wish for. They were very flexible with our arrival and departure times due to our flights and nothing was any trouble. We did not worry about Teddie for a second as we knew he was in great hands and was being spoiled rotten. Caroline and Rob sent daily video's and photos of their various walks, tea shops and walks to our local pub. It was such a joy to know that they were enjoying their stay and Teddie was as happy as larry! Caroline and Rob are fabulous and very caring and 5 stars are not enough! When we returned home the house was immaculate, and Teddie was beautifully groomed and very happy. We cannot thank Caroline and Rob aka Auntie C and Uncle B enough for their care, patience and the genuine affection to our Teddster. We are all looking forward to seeing you in March. Thank you so very much xx

James
Providing Pet Sitting in the Kirkoswald, United Kingdom
Respectful trustworthy caring late-forties guy who loves being with animals
James was an absolute delight with our little dog who loved him and enjoyed their time together and many walks. His communication to us whilst we were away was excellent, texts, photos and videos, and never frightened to ask about anything he was unsure off. It was lovely to meet such an easy going and kind guy and to listen about some of his adventures. We wish him all the very best in his many future adventures, thank you James 🙏🙏🙏

Sue & Ian were fantastic carers for our beloved spaniels and home. They arrived when they said they would with great communication beforehand and Koki & Sunshine loved them. Our house was absolutely immaculate when we arrived back and the dogs were sad to see them leave. They made a real impression. Highly recommended and we would be delighted to welcome them back any time.

Wonderful House sitter! Perfect in every way!
Quentin
Providing Pet Sitting in the Kirkoswald, United Kingdom
Retired active pet-loving former NHS professionals, fully DBS (was CRB) checked.
Quentin and Lorena have just sat at our home and took care of our cat, hens and birds. Upon first meeting with them I knew my home was in good hands. My cat was well looked after and loved having cuddles with them on an evening. Quentin and Lorena even did jobs around the garden which was not expected but greatly appreciated. Our home was immaculate when we returned and kindly put the bins out for us. They are the perfect house sitters and we wouldnt hesitate in having them sit for us again. Extremely thoughtful, active and caring couple. Thank you! x
Marianne
Providing Pet Sitting in the Kirkoswald, United Kingdom
Cat/bird/rabbit lover
Marianne has kindly sat for us & iggy a number of times which says it all. She’s super flexible & easy going. Iggy has a better brushed coat when we come back than when we went away! Would definitely recommend Marianne.
Helen
Providing Pet Sitting in the Kirkoswald, United Kingdom
World traveller, pet lover: where 2 worlds can collide
I'd really recommend Helen, she was organised, friendly and caring. She left the house really tidy and even washed the sheets and made us some soup! She was kind enough to go and pick up a missed delivery from the local post office for us, which was so helpful.
Reviews from Cat Owners
Ellie
It was my first time using zeewoi so I was slightly apprehensive, but as soon as I heard from Kendra I knew both my cat and my apartment would be in safe hands. Kendra was great with communicating and coming back quickly, very friendly and clearly experienced with sitter jobs. Whilst staying at my place she sent me regular updates. Once I returned home the flat was spotless. I would highly recommend Kendra and I would certainly use her again. She’s great!
Sandi
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
Susan
Nia is a wonderful sitter - punctual, considerate, caring, and tidy, and also a lovely person, who I enjoyed spending time with before and after the sit. While I was away Nia sent photos and videos of my cats Tommy and Arthur every day, with witty updates and observations on their personalities and behaviours, and it was obvious that they adored her. Arthur has a mild neurological problem, so it was particularly reassuring to know that Nia feels especially connected to animals with specific physical or emotional needs, and knowing this contributed hugely to my peace of mind while I was away. I have no hesitation in recommending Nia as a sitter.
Meghan
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
Heather
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Sunny
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)

Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !

Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Ned
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
Francine
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.

Furry Tails kennel & Cattery
Recent Reviews:
As Georgie is only 6 months old I had cat Mumma worries about leaving her with anyone, however, the staff put us at ease straight away. The facilities are excellent and cosy, with added heat lamps for when it gets chilly. We were contacted with an update while away and loved seeing the photo on Facebook of our fur baby. We highly recommend Furry Tails and will definitely use again, Thank you
I use their enclosed field many times and it is a godsend for dogs who need to build up a recall or need some down time where you don't bump into any other dogs. It's a large area with different things for them to investigate. The staff are super friendly and I've always been made to feel welcome. Would always reccomend them and have done multiple times already. Thank you x
What I love about furry tails is that they have a kennel and cattery, and as a house hold with both fur baby's, it makes life so easy when going on holiday that you don't have to find and go to two separate places! I have two cats and opted for them both to go in one pen, I was blown away with the size of the pen, a massive double, heat lamp, climbing posts, litter tray, beds, play toys, everything thing they would need to make their stay comfortable. And what I loved about the kennel part is the one on one time that my dog got, a walk and a play 5 times a day!! Wow fantastic! Definitely recommend
This was the first time we have ever put our cat into boarding as we have always had family to pop into our home, so I was apprehensive. However, this was soon put to rest as from the minute we got the first response from Em, we were reassured she was professional, kind and understanding of the needs of the pet and the owner. Our little cat Millie was with Em for just over a week and it was an effortless process to book her in, drop her off, communicate as and when needed and then to collect. I cannot recommend Em and the team at Furry tails enough. The environment, the care and the warmth was second to none. Will definitely be leaving my cat there again, if needed.
We've been taking our pooches to Furry Tails for several years now. When we drop them off, they don't even look back. They love the spacious kennels, huge paddock and the wonderful staff. They go above and beyond for our dogs.
I brought my 2 cats here when I went away for 2 weeks. We were new to the area and had to get our cats in somewhere quickly, this was the closest cattery still a 30 minute drive. So was reluctant to travel further. First impression was okay. The cattery didn't seem awfully great, but seemed good enough to leave my cats for 2 weeks. Upon picking up my cats, the enclosure was covered in hair, and my cats picked up fleas (as well as my in laws cats who stopped at the same time). I wasn't impressed. I won't be bringing my cats back here but will be travelling a little further.
We were a little anxious to leave our VERY nervous dog in kennels for the first time but Sam at furry tails was excellent and took the time to make friends and gain confidence with him. He came back a veryyy happy pup! 🐶 would 10/10 recommend! Thank you furry tails! …
Fantastic place to take the dogs for a run about, been taking ours to use the hire paddock for a few weeks and have absolutely no complaints. Great, friendly service, clean secure paddock and very reasonable prices. Very reassuring to know there's a reliable and reputable kennels with extra services locally 😁👍 …
All the locals use this - they are great. We always get our dog groomed there - great cut and reasonable value.
Wonderful, absolutely! If you care about your pet then I highly recommend Furry Tails. Care and attention is brought to each individual pet and you can go away knowing that every care or need is taken care of. My hounds didn't want to leave there they had it so good. Individual runs and outings during the day and evening. Warm and very very large cosy pads, not cramped up inside. Dietary quirks sincerely listened to. Staff that care and know what they are doing and how every pet/owner is unique. Thank you
Doggies n Moggies Retreat
Recent Reviews:
My cat doesn’t ever want to come home 🙈 he loves this place so much and is so well cared for he doesn’t want to leave. I try to take that as a positive rather than hurt feelings about our home! 🤣 When we get there and open the carrier he skips out looking so pleased to be back. Would never even consider taking him somewhere else. Because of him being so relaxed and happy there , his young sister had a lovely first stay away from home and I hope that she’ll think the same about doggies and moggies for any future visits.
Really lovely place for cats. Window to look out of with mesh so cats can hear the noises too, places to jump and scratching posts. The owners take a real interest in getting to know your cat better.
I picked up my two cats and my daughters cat today from here and all cats have settled at home very quickly. All our cats are rescue cats and have been very well looked after by Rachael and staff they have stayed here two times upto now and already booked their stay for a third time.I would highly recommend this place and the staff for your pets. Ivy and Jess and also suzie would also recommend this place Thank again Rachael and staff for looking after our pets Brian T.
What a relief to find Doggies and Moggies Retreat in Armathwaite. For the first time in 9 years I needed somewhere for my much-loved cat to spend 6 days. This retreat far outshone other catteries I had visited in the area. It was spotlessly clean throughout, from the welcome area, to the cat pens. I loved the 'garden' area in each one. Rachel was so accommodating, allowing me to bring many items from home to help my boy settle in ( including his home made chicken sausages to go in the freezer ). I cannot speak highly enough of both Rachel and Wendy, who made sure Oscar was happy and settled. My timid boy took to both of them very quickly. I would not hesitate to recommend this place. I can now go on holiday without a worry. Many thanks to both of you. See you soon.x
I would have absolutely no hesitation whatsoever in sending my old boy Sid (the cat) to stay with Rachael again, or from recommending her to anyone. She is so lovely and clearly adores the animals she looks after. The cat rooms are great with lovely views out to the beautiful countryside. The fact she is a qualified Veterinary Nurse is also extra reassurance that your loved one is in safe, caring hands. Thank you so much Rachael.
This was Archie and Millie cats first stay with Rachel at Doggies and Moggies and it definitely won't be the last. She looked after them brilliantly giving archie all his medication with no problem. Thank you lovely Rachel!!
Rachel is lovely and had obviously had our young cat Esme very well looked after for a 1 1/2 weeks. It was our first time leaving her at a cattery and we'll be coming back soon! 🐱 …
On both occasions my dog went here she was injured & on the second time it was severe but they failed to get a vet or alert the owner resulting in my dog needing an operation which could have been avoided. The owner originally said the incident happened first thing in the morning, when she kicked my dog in the face rather than the ball, resulting in ny dog having a swollen eye that she couldn't open. She blamed the dog for this saying "she's a good goalkeeper". In the next 8 hours, they did not alert the dog owner or a vet regardless that it was still swollen and she coudlnt open her eye. Instead they left her in pain and posted happy videos of the other dogs on facebook. Since the incident, the kennel owner has changed her story when asked for in writing and now we have no choice but to go down the court route.... Do not recommend & would avoid if you want your dogs looked after appropriately and safely. In my emails prior to being a client, the owner wrote that she would keep me updated on how my dog settled and of any issues but this never materialised. Accidents happen, but unprofessional and neglectful responses to them can not be forgiven and I alert everyone to this to avoid their dog suffering at this day care.
Excellent service & accommodation. Our dog, Millie, loves Rachel. When we get her out of the car she goes straight to the door to get in to find Rachel & then her kennel. She's always very happy there. Highly recommend
Bugsy Malone has had another great stay with Rachael, she's fantastic, kind & patient...Bugsy loves his stay & is always happy & settled thanks again Rachael! 😊🐰 …
Thea's Lakeland Walks
Recent Reviews:
From first emailing Katy about collecting our dog from kennels & bringing him for a couple of wedding photos, to the day of the wedding communication was superb. Our dog was brought and they waited for longer than planned as we got family photos, our dog Ozzy was looked after amazingly & was the cherry on top of a wonderful day being able to have him there for pictures. We would wholeheartedly recommend Thea lakeland Walks to anyone & will be using again for any other service needed. Thanks again. Gareth, Zoe & Ozzy.
Katy and Craig took our 4 month year old puppy for a few days, allowing us to do some proper hiking in the Lakes during a week long holiday. They were absolutley fantastic with him (especially as I'm sure he required a bit more TLC than the other dogs) and he came back a very happy puppy each time! Katy was incredibly responsive over email to arrange the booking too - couldn't recommend highly enough.
Our dog loves her days at Thea’s. She gets so excited to see her friends for a play day when we drop her off. The team are really lovely and take time to get to know each dog. Highly recommended.
Wonderful! In every way! Katie and Craig (and Thea of course!!!) welcome dogs into their home and treat them as if they were their own! They're highly knowledgable and understand a wide variety of breeds and their individual personalities! My little fella loves going and was so relaxed when I dropped him off! Made himself totally at home! Couldn't recommend Thea's Lakeland Walks enough!
Thea's Lakeland Walks is an excellent place where you can leave your pet in the knowledge that they will be cared for as if they were at home. Craig and Katy are very knowledgeable and give your pets a safe, happy and fun environment to play and socialise in. Tasha loves spending time with them.
We booked Wilf in to stay whilst we attended Kendal Calling. We were apprehensive about leaving him initially as he can get a little anxious until settling but we needn’t have worried, Craig kindly took his bed from us then whilst we were chatting with Katy he came back and lead Wilf away. Wilf trotted off more than happily, obviously picking up on the relaxed vibes. Katy updated us over the weekend on how he was doing which was great peace of mind to us. We collected Wilf to continue the next few days walking in the area but we’ve actually been glad of the change in weather to have rain as Wilf is shattered, happy but not keen to walk too far. Haha, thanks to you both. Lovely place you have and very secure, would highly recommend.
Excellent, friendly service. Quick and professional replying to messages. Our puppy has had a great time here, so well cared for, couldn't ask for more. Also... the treats and chews come highly recommended! Fantastic local business that we will continue to support.
Recommend this service! 10/10 Great reliable service and lovely with the all the dogs in their care , There are not many people I would leave my dogs with but I wouldn’t hesitate leaving my Beryl and Lola with Thea’s Lakeland walks! Xx
A very friendly and helpful business. Always willing and able to provide an exciting and happy environment for my dog. She comes home full of joy and very well exercised
I have nothing but love and admiration for these two. They love our dog and Kirkby loves his time with them. A brilliant find
