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

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!

Experienced Pet Owners
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.

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.

Friendly, honest and respectful animal lover with enhanced crb check.
This was our first sitter with zeewoi and it couldn't have been better! Kathleen was very organised, responsive, self-sufficient, and fabulous with our dog. She sent extra photos to us when our son was missing him. We returned to a house that felt even tidier and cleaner than when we'd left – it was like she'd never been here! We'd definitely book Kathleen again and warmly recommend her to others.

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

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.

Mindful lady writer seeks peaceable places
Beryl is amazing and so caring and helpful with my 3 cats and 2 dogs. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you Beryl x
Julia was an amazing house sitter and dog sitter! She sent me photos and updates every day, she took my pup Jordan on long walks and gave him the love, care, and patience that he needs. She was so easy and comfortable to communicate with and she left the house so clean and tidy for when I came back. Definitely recommend her!!!
I was very happy with the love and affection that was very apparent when Travis and Shannon met the pups. I received one picture on my trip and was happy to see Shannon cuddled under a doggie pile. Nothing like seeing your dogs being loved by others as their own. Every thing was in its place when I return which was nice. I also received a welcome home gift handmade by them which was very lovely and made my day. I highly recommend them as trustworthy and reliable pet sitters to anyone.
Denise was by far the best pet sitter we have ever had! She watched our two pups while we were gone for 3 weeks and took amazing care of our dogs and home. She took the time to ask questions and make sure she understood each dog’s needs as well as how to take the best care of our house before we left. She sent videos everyday updating us on how the pups were doing. We were so happy to see how much quality time she was spending with them and how much they loved her. Our dogs were so sad to see her leave and we can’t wait to have her back. Denise made sure that the house was in perfect condition when she left and treated our home as if it were her own. If you are looking for a pet sitter, look no further. Highly recommend Denise!
Ryan was one of our best sitters we’ve had! Ryan is so lovely to chat with and we looked forward to meeting him before our trip. He was organized and communicated his plans clearly with us and was easy to communicate with while we were away. Our dog took to him immediately and so we knew we could relax while away. Our home was in great shape when we returned and it was nice to get a debrief from him as well. We’d love to have Ryan back anytime, and so would Steve (our dog)!
Ray and Lynn were excellent sitters for Moose! They took him out multiple times a day and always played with him. They sent so many pictures and Moose always looked so happy! They were very flexible on when they arrived and left and very organized. The house was left clean and tidy and we found a happy dog when we got home. We would definitely have them back anytime!
Cindy was great, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter experience! Communication was great both before and during the sit. Cindy was really helpful and flexible with arrival and departure arrangements. I came back to a happy dog and a well cared for house, can thoroughly recommend 🙂
Robert and Biljana are absolutely the best sitters you could ever get. We have used them several times already. They have always arrived at the stated date and time. They are eager to receive any and all instructions and will follow them as stated. They keep us informed almost every day on our dogs and send pictures regularly. They always go above and beyond their duties. Robert has fixed a few things around the house without being asked. They buy things for our dogs and have even trained our dogs on certain issues. They made a concerted effort to get to know the neighbors and talked up our dogs to all of them. They will be discreet with any and all information given. We really appreciated all their hard work and effort. They have certainly elevated the bar for the next sitters. Biljana took very good care of our plants and spoiled our dogs to excess. They now expect the same from us!! We will welcome them back anytime. Hiring them is a decision that will not be regretted.
First things first, Linda is awesome! If she applies for one of your sits, you have to accept! This was our first time using zeewoi and is also the first time we have left our dog since we got him. Obviously, we were nervous at the beginning, but Linda removed all aspects of that. She is honestly one of the nicest, kindest, most polite people you will meet. From our first initial meeting, we knew that she was the sitter for us, and for Archie. The day that we left, Archie let out a little cry as we said goodbye. This was the first time he had done this (it broke our heart), but we knew he was in great hands! Throughout the week, Linda was extremely communicative. She would send us daily updates, share videos of their walks together, and send pictures of the two of them having fun. She spoiled Archie with love, attention, and a couple of new toys! When we returned, the house was in the exact same condition as we had left it, and was very clean and tidy. When Linda left, Archie ran to the door, started to cry, and sat/laid there for some time - And we think that this alone is a great reflection of the kind of person that Linda is. Linda – It was an absolute pleasure to host you in our home, thank you for everything that you did for us and Archie, and for making our first experience a positive and memorable one. Archie misses you! We hope you get the chance to do it again for us in the future.
Lisa was a terrific sitter for our sweet Rosie. She arrived the evening before the sit, and we immediately could tell how much love and attention Rosie was to get. She provided updates and pictures which we were delighted to read, and we could tell Rosie was happy and well-cared for with Lisa on their walks and fetching sessions, on their car rides, and during Rosie’s many daily naps. Lisa left the house in great condition, she’s very tidy and clean. Lisa’s experience with dogs and her friendly, sweet personality makes her an excellent sitter taking good care of animals while also being easy to communicate with. I would recommend her and would gladly invite her back.
Ranji was a wonderful pet sitter for my dog Zoe and was very easy to communicate with and kept me informed. She took wonderful care of our condo and wouldn’t hesitate to have her in my new home in NJ if she wants to check out a new area.

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!
