Dog Sitters in Grange Over Sands

Lotti had a wonderful holiday with Barrie and Heather again organised by Alison. Thank you so much as we always know she is very happy and she came home in excellent health :)

Can not recommend Barking Mad enough, Alison was so helpful, kind and reassuring throughout the whole process. The communication was excellent and I felt confident that my boys would be well looked after. Our host had obviously cared very much for our dogs and they were clearly happy in the picture updates we got and when they arrived home. This was our first experience with Barking Mad but will be booking again next year. Thank you so very much I felt that I could relax on holiday especially with the emails to keep me updated.

Having used barking Mad I wouldn't be happy to leave my dog anywhere else. My dog Molly always has an amazing holiday staying with her host family and we always looking forward to reading about what she got up to! Frustratingly, she hasn't had the best year health wise and Alison has always found perfect hosts who have been able to cater to her specific needs. Alison provides a first rate service every time. I love Barking Mad.

Julie is great,totally put our mind at rest going off on holiday and is professional and friendly and obviously passionate about dogs. Wesley has had a great time with his hosts Pam & Graham and receiving the lovely feedback from them made our day and we hope they will be available for future stays. We have been using Barking Mad for a couple of years and will continue to as it's a great idea and a service that both us and Wesley love. Totally reccomend.

My 10 year old beagle Izzy recently had her second stay with Barking Mad and this time was hosted by Gill and Alan. The booking process with Alison was once again very friendly and professional and it was very reassuring that Izzy was being cared for in a home from home environment! She clearly had a wonderful stay as she arrived home looking great and very happy. Thank you Gill for taking good care of Izzy!

I tried my dog in kennels but she came back a nervous wreck so when I was going on holiday I was recommended Barking Mad as an alternative. The whole process was fantastic. Hetty came back in a relaxed and happy state and had clearly had a great time with her host. I was given a lovely letter telling me everything she'd been doing. I would highly recommend Alison and Barking Mad.

Fantastic ! so glad I found Barking Mad . Everything from the first interview to Belle returning home after her holiday was great ,well organised and friendly . Cannot recommend Alison and her company enough . I'm sure Belle is looking forward to her next visit .

We've used Barking Mad for several years and trust them implicitly. However on this last holiday, the service, support and assistance was simply outstanding. Teddy had been unwell with eye problems, we pre-agreed the treatment plan before we went ...it was followed to the letter, and on our return the little chap was better....it was like have a new car delivered on our return! So many thanks to Daphne (Florence Nightingale), Alison and Jean !

As a host this past year I would like to say how much we enjoy having our holiday dogs to stay such fun and dog walking great for exercise! Alison who runs Barking Mad is a really caring person and always manages to match the dog to the host .We love every minute of it.

Izzy had a wonderful time with Wendy and her family. It's a great boon to your holiday knowing your dog's being well cared for while you're away. Thank you so much, Alison and Wendy. Here's to the next time. Steve and Kathryn.

5 stars for Kennelmaids!! Wendy is brilliant and our dog Charlie loves going to stay with her. The setting in woodland is perfect for doggies to run around & play and the 'bedroom' is cosy & bespoke. A fantastic place 🐾 …

fantastic place for your dog

Can't be beaten.

Great place

Biscuit has stayed a few times and is always excited when we go to drop him off, it was Beryl's 1st time staying as she's only 7months old, but she also seemed to enjoy her stay. The family that run the Kennels are lovely and you can tell they all love the dogs, Biscuit and Beryl are looking forward to going back again next week 🐶🐶

My pup is 6 months old and we've started day care to get him around more dogs and to get used to it before we go on holidays. He loved it. The owners are incredibly friendly and the dogs are well looked after. Updates on Instagram aswell so you can see what they are up to.

My lab Nora absolutely loves her weekly visit to ‘School’. She loves her time there and especially loves Alan! Would be lost without their brilliant service in our lives now. They have been consistent and reliable since Nor was a pup and she’s almost three! Would highly recommend!

I cannot recommend South Lakes Kennels and Daycare enough having used both the daycare and boarding services over the last 6 weeks. Brodie and Quinn get so excited as we pull in to the yard. Genuinely lovely people who go above and beyond for the owners and their charges.

Our puppy Hugo absolutely loves Alan and Debbie. There is something special about going to pick up your tired pup after knowing they’ve had the best day socialising with with other dogs while being kept happy and safe. Would highly recommend and wouldn’t send a pup anywhere else 🥰🐶 seeing pictures throughout the day on Instagram stories is such a lovely touch too! 🐾

Our two springers love Alan and Debra. Genuine dog lovers who really care that the animals are happy and well cared for. Lots of love and cuddles given. They always come back clean and happy.

Our Cocker Spaniel loved his stay. Excellent service and very easy to communicate with. Would use again when we are in the area. 5 stars

A friendly greeting every time, run by a lovely family. My dog really enjoys his day care. They are alway flexible and very accommodating to changes in my diary from week to week.

My springer spaniel loves visiting South Lakes Kennels. When he arrives he can’t wait to get into the play area and doesn’t give me a backward glance which makes me feel I’m leaving him in good hands. Thank you Alan and co.

I had to book last minute as my local kennel was closed, the owners couldn't have been more helpful, highly recommended. Very convenient for Lake Windermere - Close to Fellfoot NT. Many thanks Dave

Best Place in Cumbria for dog care and boarding. Our two absolutely love the place and we couldn’t be happier with the service.

Our dog Peggy regularly goes to Dog Tales and absolutely loves it. The staff are professional, friendly, and reliable. Peggy is always super excited to see the staff. We feel safe in the knowledge that Karen and the staff are looking after her and the other dogs, making sure they have a safe and fun filled day playing in the field and going for walks. Can't recommend them highly enough!

Our dog absolutely loves her weekly visits to Dog Tales, Karen and the girls are so lovely and Peggie loves spending time with them. She always comes home tired after an eventful fun day, highly recommend for socialising your dog.

I hve used Dog Tales Cumbria a few times now. I have always found the staff to be very polite, and the service that we have received to be fantastic. I would recommend anyone to use Dog Tales Cumbria.

Private hire of exercise field for Greyhound, great setup, all hands free and Covid secure - dog loved it.

Regularly leave Blue here, he loves it!

Very good
