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

Well Rebecca and David really are fantastic! They returned to sit for us with their beautiful and well behaved Jess and we left with total confidence that all will be well! Inca our dog , the sheep donkeys and the house in totally perfect condition on our return home. They are generous and delightful people and I would wholeheartedly recommend them. We look forward to their return!

Hi, we are reliable, trustworthy, and caring couple available to sit in the UK
Martin and Esther were really excellent sitters. They took really good care of Tinka our cat and left the house extremely clean and tidy when they departed. Of particular value, they took really good care of our garden, which was absolutely critical as the sit was in the hottest and driest week so far this year - doing lots of watering and plant care. Top marks to them all round.

Ready and waiting for new adventures and experiences with furry friends
Karen and Steve were so well organised and took impeccable care of our pets, house and garden. We are delighted that they managed to see some of our beautiful countryside on their bikes, and thank you so much for preparing a very welcome supper when we returned late from the airport.

Resourceful and responsible lady available to care for your home
Joanna looked after the cats for a short stay. She came to pick up the keys early on and to meet the cats. She sent photos and also medicated Alfie. Happy with the house sit

Professional couple, just moved to Cumbria. Love pets!
Our second visit from Philippa & Stephen and we couldn’t be happier! They are a fabulous couple and we would have them back again and again. Cats completely happy and well. Tons of communication from Philippa with lots of pictures throughout the stay. House super clean and they had looked free the garden for us. Highly recommend them as house & pet sitters.

Respectful Responsible Relaxed person that enjoys caring for pets and homes
Brian arrived a night early to allow us to set off early the following day. The dogs loved him and were immediately comfortable in his company. We got lots of updates while we were away which we loved. They went on lots of adventures. On our return the dogs were very settled and happy which is always our primary concern. We would highly recommend Brian as a sitter and welcome him back any time in the future. Thank you. Lisa & Harry
Silecroft, United Kingdom
Couple based in the Uk with great experience of looking after other peoples pets
This is the second sit at our home for Olya, Andrew and their lovely daughter Julia. We had asked them to return and our luck was in when they said yes. As previously communication, planning and the sit went like clockwork. All three obviously love animals and our two dogs and Bat the cat couldn't have been left in any more capable hands. On our return, very happy and chilled fur babies, an immaculate house and an amazing spread for dinner. Thank you so much to this super family, we cannot recommend them highly enough.
Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
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!
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
Windy & Dustin are some of my top go-tos! They are wonderful sitters who I can trust to take care of my cats and goats and love them like their own! They are so respectful of my house and are always flexible with me when plans change last minute.
I highly recommend Daniel as a pet sitter and house sitter! He took care of Pipa for over three months this winter and did an outstanding job. From the first day, it was clear that he had a genuine love for animals and a great deal of experience with pets. He was very attentive to his needs and always made sure he was comfortable, well-fed, and had plenty of playtime. In addition to his pet-sitting duties, Daniel also went above and beyond by processing my postal mail and keeping the house well-organized. He was very responsible and reliable, always arriving on communicating, putting the bins out, and watering the plants on time, and keeping me updated with photos and messages. I felt completely at ease knowing that my cat was in such good hands and that my home was well-cared for while I was away. When I returned from my trip, Pipa was happy, healthy, and well-adjusted, thanks to Daniel's excellent care. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet and house sitter!
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!!:)
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
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.

Our puppy Flossy has just returned from her first day with Michelle and Amber and she had a brilliant time. We really appreciated Michelle’s thoughtful and caring approach to introducing Flossy to her home and to her own dog, Amber. We also loved the photo and video updates we received throughout the day. 😊 It’s reassuring to know we can leave Flossy while we go away and she’ll be well cared for. Big thank you again to Michelle. ☺️
Michelle arranged a meet and greet to ensure Freddy and Amber were comfortable with each other. Freddy then went for a trial morning stay which he loved. All went well and Freddy went to stay with Michelle and Amber for a week while we were away. Michelle sent lots of pictures and videos of Freddy to give us peace of mind while we were away, He settled in well made himself at home and had lots of great walks play times and cuddles. We would definitely recommend Michelle and I am sure Freddy can’t wait to stay again. 🐾
100000% recommend. Michelle is an absolute delight to deal with. Really responsive and reasonably priced (based on the area which can be really expensive). It was the first time us leaving our dog (nessa) with a house sitter whilst away on holiday, so we were slightly nervous. However Michelle made us feel completely at ease. She sent regular photos and video updates and took our dog on regular walks each morning. You can really tell Michelle loved what she did and it felt like home away from home for nessa. Michelle, Thank you so much for looking after nessa for us, we will definitely be using you again :)
Our puppy Pickle stayed with Michelle and lovely Amber for 5 nights while we were away. Pickle had THE BEST time, we couldn’t be happier with Michelle’s love and care. We had regular updates while we were away which were so brilliant to see. Pickle loved both Michelle and Amber so will definitely be going back, I think she will miss her new friends!!
Michelle looked after our 2 year old dog, who had never been away from us before. She immediately put us at ease by sending us photos and videos of him settling in and playing with her own dog. It was clear when we came to pick him up that he had enjoyed his time there with Michelle and her lovely dog. Michelle is very professional and also a dog lover and we will not hesitate to have our dog stay with her again.
Extremely happy customers! I can highly recommend Michelle and her wonderful dog sitting service. On our short trip to the Lakes we needed someone to care for our dog Arlo for an afternoon. Michelle was quick to respond to my initial enquiry and put me at ease with her professionalism straight away. Arlo can be a little anxious when we leave him with someone new, but Michelle updated us with videos and photos throughout the afternoon which was a great comfort. I’m sure Michelle’s calm manner and experience (as well as her gorgeous little dog Amber) helped Arlo feel more relaxed. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Michelle again. Thank you! ❤️
Michelle's dog-sitting business was a fantastic find on my trip up to the Lake District this August. From the start, she was highly professional and I felt confident that she would treat my Springer, Ruby, with as much care and love as I could ask for. While I was out, she sent pictures and videos to keep me updated, and I was reassured that Ruby was happy the whole time I was away. Thank you so much, Michelle!
This was my young rescue dog's first time away from me and I was incredibly worried about leaving him. He did have some separation anxiety but Michelle's gentle and patient approach helped him to settle very quickly - literally within minutes of me dropping him off, Michelle sent photos and videos of him relaxing with lovely little Amber! Michelle's home is spotlessly clean and cosy, providing a calm but doggy-friendly environment. She was very attentive to my dog's individual needs. Michelle and Amber welcomed Dennis as one of their own; he still jumps up and looks for Amber when I say her name! I wouldn't hesitate to call on Michelle's services again should I need Dennis minding - and I know he'd love it too!
Michelle looked after our 2 dogs (16yr old and 10month old) for 11 days. She really cares about the dogs wellbeing and did the best for them according to their needs - lots of exercise for the puppy and special care for the senior dog. We received updates regularly about their stay. Our puppy came back home calmer and she now "sits" and "waits"! I can't recommend Michelle enough!
Our puppy had a great time with Michelle. Her home was lovely and clean, her dog Amber was really friendly and Michelle took on all our requirements with training brilliantly. Would definitely recommend!
I wouldn't send my dog to anyone else. Lesley has a unique understanding of dogs and their unique behaviours. My dog is very nervy especially around new people so I wasn't sure I could leave her with anyone. Lesley reassured me and the minute I saw her with Moky I knew she would be fine. It literally is home from home for Moky and she loves going on her holidays there and enjoying the long walks and refreshing dips in the streams. We've had great videos sent to us as well of her happily running through fields which was so reassuring.
Our 3 year old Border Collie stayed with Lesley at Wuf for a short break. It was his first time in kennels and he had a great time. Lesley is obviously an animal lover and an expert dog person. She loves spending time with her visiting dogs and they get plenty of time in the beautiful surroundings and have a lot of fun. Jack is booked in for 3 weeks shortly and we cannot recommend Wuf enough!
Would like to thank Lesley for a great service she gives at Wuffs kennels ,would recommend these kennels to anyone who wants their dogs to be looked after with a person who truly loves her animals .with outstanding views and fields for the dogs to run around and have great fun.The personal attention Lesley gives to each individual dog is amazing Murphy looking forward to staying with you again Thankyou Lesley .
My husband and I were visiting the Lake District for a wedding in May and a short break with our Labradoodle Roxy (aged 6 ). I found Wuf Boarding Kennels as we needed somewhere for our Roxy to stay for a couple of days, whilst we attended the wedding celebrations. I first spoke to Lesley directly over the phone. Lesley was very nice and easy to talk to, explaining how she ran her Kennels and confirmed she could look after our dog on the dates we requested. I had further contact closer to the dates to confirm there were no changes. Lesley on all occasions was pleasant and cheerful. Upon reading some previous reviews I felt confident I had found a nice place for Roxy, that she would be cared for and safe. Especially as this was the first time Roxy stayed here. When we dropped off Roxy, we were greeted by Lesley and a female colleague. They were both very welcoming and friendly. Roxy was immediately made to feel at ease with Lesley getting to know her and gently talking to Roxy. As well as introducing herself to myself and my husband. We did not feel rushed and time was given for us to have a look around and see where Roxy would be resting and exercising. We were sent a couple of video clips of Roxy playing ball and running around with other dogs staying at the Kennels. Roxy looked happy and content, with her tail wagging. Lesley also had her own dogs who were nearby when we dropped Roxy off. The whole atmosphere felt relaxed. We would recommend Lesley and her dog kennels to anyone. She was professional throughout my dealings with her and most importantly Roxy was kept well and safe. Thank you Lesley and if we are back in the Lake District and need Roxy to be looked after we will come directly to you!
We needed to use kennels for the first time in October for our 3 dogs, a 1-year old daschund, a 9-year old springer and a 14-year old working cocker. We decided to book Wuf boarding kennels after being recommended to us by a friend. From the first contact on WhatsApp with Lesley to arrange the stay, right through to the stay itself, everything was perfect. Communication was quick and easy. My million questions were answered straight away. The needs of the dogs were wholly considered….Ranging from a lively, mischievous disobedient pup to our old doddery cocker; Lesley put us at ease from the moment the dogs were dropped off. She posted daily videos of them playing together in the large play area with other dogs which was amazing and we looked forward to seeing them each day. I actually think our dogs were slightly depressed when they came home from their holidays!! Highly recommended.
Dogs are a great judge of character, and our 2 year old German Shepherd loved Lesley from the start. It was reassuring when we left Mya for the first time at "Wuf" to have a video sent, showing what a great time she was having. We wouldn't leave our dog anywhere else
We have just picked up our puppy from Lesley and he'll definitely be back!! From day one, we were put at ease with a video of him having fun in the fields. Would highly recommend Wuf boarding kennels to anyone who may be apprehensive about leaving their fur baby. Thank you Lesley.
I have used these Kennels for the last 4 years and would never take (Ronnie) my old tyme bulldog anywhere else! He absolutely loves it there as the ground are huge and he gets to run around with all the other dogs. Lesley always sends me videos to show me he's OK, the Kennels are lovely warm n clean and also have a radio to keep dogs calm x lesley is very reliable and always accommodate me when needed xx
Fantastic kennels, highly reccommend, had my dog & 2 other family dogs here for 2nights, 1 of which is a pup & another which doesnt tolerate other dogs, we hadnt quite gotten the 2 used to each other yet so were a bit wary of them being together without us owners, but to our suprise we had videos sent of all 3 of them aswell as other dogs running around, happily playing together. Since coming home the dogs are like 2 different dogs, running wild together, thankyou Lesley, you have worked wonders with them! We already have the dogs booked in another 3 times over the next 12months. Highly reccommend!
I would never leave my fur baby anywhere other than at wuf. She is not a sociable dog and lesley gives her one on one time and helps to familiarise her with other dogs I a safe and responsible way. She is always safe and lesley gives us regular updates on how she is doing. Our pupper is often sad to come home and loves going to wuf boarding kennels. 11/10 would recommend!!
Emma stayed with and walked our lab while we attended a wedding and he clearly had a wonderful time! They were best friends from the beginning, only a shame we don't live in the area or we'd book her services again!
We were in the Lakes for our holiday, it was my husbands 70th birthday and I organised a day driving 4 X 4's which our dogs Monte, Pippa and Harvey were not invited, so needed to find home for the dogs for the day. Tamsin and Nigel were brilliant from keeping us informed with our booking to picking them up and texting us on the progress of their exciting day to bringing our treasured dogs back to us. Thank you so much and would definitely use your services again.
Dapper Dog Weddings Review: We approached Nigel and Tamsin at Ambleside Dog Walkers for their connected Dapper Dog Weddings service for our wedding in the Lake District. Right from initial contact we knew they were the right people to trust our dog Milo with and to be part of our special day. Prompt communication, lovely people and all in all just an amazing service! We went for the platinum package with overnight stay and it was worth every penny. We knew Milo would be in safe hands and Nigel was amazing at ceremony to help Milo be the ring bearer and for photos after the ceremony. If we lived locally we'd definitely use them for their dog walking service too. Thank you again Nigel and Tamsin for taking such good care of Milo and making our special day even more special! -Niran & Katy
Ambleside Dog Walker are much much more than ordinary dog walkers. They are a package of care, fun, creative doggie doings, and great and interesting walks. When you first join their 'family," they make sure your dog is suitable, so i know that he's out walking with good dogs. My dog is like my.child, and I completely trust Ambleside Dog Walker to take good care of him and also provide a great deal of mental stimulation. They have made my dog's life very wonderful which also means I'm very happy. When I've needed them at the last minute, they've always stepped in. They are incredible. THANK YOU! Ambleside Dog Walker for taking such good care of my dog!
We had Nigel look after our ageing dog while we got married, super professional and Very helpful. We highly recommend this company when travelling the Lakes very good service. Thankyou!!
If my dog could speak (well he can) he would tell you there is no better day or residential care available for your best pal. Rev has stayed many times & comes back fit, bouncy and tail waggingly happy. Nigel (The Ambleside Dog Walker) can be completely trusted to provide safe, fun and energetic days out in the Lakeland Fells tailored to the age, condition and breed of dog; and simply in the best surroundings possible; from his lovely dog safe and friendly home, to the immediately accessible fells and streams loved by our dogs. I could not more highly and assuredly recommend The Ambleside Dog Walker.
We can't thank Nigel and Tamsin enough for their support in looking after Cleo on our wedding day. They were so fantastic and calm with her and she's not the most confident pup. From the first email to the big day they were professional and so kind - highly highly recommend them for dog sitting services and particularly weddings. She was so well cared for, then brought back to the wedding clean and Nigel managed to get her to behave for a few photos - and then reassured her when we had to head back to the party. Thank you so much Nigel and Tamsin. X
Visiting the lakes for a holiday with my parents and wanted to see my uncle for a day but he's not a great fan of dogs. Enquiried for a one off day here for our two dogs and was pleased to hear Tamsin and Nigel could accommodate. Very helpful and informative leading up to the day. And was really impressed with their knowledge and professionalism when we handed our boys over. We saw some pictures at the end of the day on FB and from the comments it sounded like our boys had a great day having a trek in the local area! Will definitely be using them again for any trips we make up here again!
We were in the Lake District for my daughter’s wedding and needed day/night care for our 2 Labradors. After searching and researching we found Ambleside dog walkers. I can truly say what a relief. Very professional from the initial email and obviously dog lovers who provide a fantastic service! My dogs were well looked after and came back very happy! I couldn’t recommend them enough!
The team at ADW are absolutely amazing. Our dog Jeremy loves Thursdays because he knows he gets to see the team and go adventuring with his doggy pals. Always friendly, helpful, accommodating and caring, we can't recommend ADW highly enough. The posts on Instagram are also brilliant, it's so lovely to see what our pupper has been up to during daycare, it's clear to see the doggies have an absolute blast. Thank you ADW!
