Dog Sitters in Staveley

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. ☺️

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 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. 🐾

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.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to Michelle for helping me out when our two Yorkshire Terriers were requiring a dog walk, due to work commitments and looking after my customers during the Christmas rush, j was unable to get out and take them for their usual walk. But Michelle came to the rescue, along with Amber, Michelle's own dog, which our boys were more than happy to walk with 🐾 🐶 🐾 and have fun along the way ☺️ thank you Michelle greatly appreciate your help and support

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!

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.

I've always worried in the past leaving my dog with other people but l feel totally confident leaving him with Anthony. Knowing they are on private land really gives me peace of mind, and Anthony is experienced and knowledgeable. My dog loves him! The dogs have a great time with lots to do in a fun and safe environment. If l ever have to leave him for the day l know he's treated as one of the family.

Frankie loves going to daycare. He sits waiting for Anthony every morning and comes home shattered. also he has come on amazingly.with his training since being with Anthony. Highly recommended.

Great business, private land, very profession. You know when your dog is collected they are happy, safe and having a great time while in the care of Paws Outdoors.

Top class service , 🐕‍🦺 amazing family run buissness. Safe private walking on secure land. Really know what they're doing , Kendal's premiere dog walking company. The owners are a credit to their business. Well done amazing service .

Fantastic gentlemen very friendly my dogs love going my boy was a very nervous dog he hated water and scared of anything that moved Anthony has worked si hard and now I have a different boy who loves swimming and gets on great with other dogs 🐕 and not really nervous anymore couldn't recommend him enough …

The dogs just love it here ! Enclosed private land so they can do what dogs should be doing running free having fun and being safely socialized !

What a fantastic day dogs have had our dog really enjoys going here it's just great how patient crew are with all dog . I'm sure they'll always fit your dog in . Thanks

We have been bringing our dog here for over 12 months now. Having had problem terriers before, we are absolutely delighted with what Taylor Made do to ensure that our terrier is well-behaved and socialised around other dogs. They have a fantastic set up and really look after our dog. I would absolutely recommend this place to ensure that your dog is well socialised around other dogs. He is always very tired when he comes home 😀😀

Brodie is highly qualified and clearly loves what she does. We have had a few behavioural problems with our cockapoos and after just a few sessions we can see big improvements and for the first time really understand what's going on and how to deal with it. The facility is well equipped and very clean. We love going!

We've used TaylorMade every week for almost two years and honestly can't recommend them enough. They treat our dog as their own, and they've enabled us to work, visit family and have holidays knowing our pooch is in a safe environment with the best standards of care. The staff are wonderful and we are so grateful for everything they do for us. Simply the best

My puppy has been goin here since she was 13 weeks. She loves it. Shes always so excited to go and is exhausted when she gets back. The girls are all so kind and friendly and go out of their way to make pick up and drop offs easy for you. They keep me well informed of how my puppy is doing. I couldn't recommended them highly enough. My pup will continue to go here as long as they they have her!

Bracken our Working Cocker Spaniel is always excited when she's picked up, Taylor Made Pet Care treat her like one of the family. She is well cared for, has lots of walks and play time with her dog friends. I can't rate Taylor Made Pet Care highly enough and would thoroughly recommend their 5* service. Sharon, Graham and Bracken 🐶 …

My boys are Polar Opposites who feed off each other creating a Explosive Combination!!!!..... Jasper a 1yr old Cavalier is a lockdown child who has been unable to socialise with other Dogs and has had constant Human contact. Turning him into an extremely nervous and anxious dog who also lacks confidence around other dogs.... Woody a 3yr old Cavalier/Yorkie cross is a stubborn lile monkey who goes from 0-100 in seconds! He gets over excited and fuelled with Testosterone looks at all other dogs as competition as he sees himself as Top dog! .... this usually leads to explosive outbursts!!.... Mixed with Jaspers anxious energy this can cause an Explosive Combination!!... We are experienced “Doggie Parents” but know when we are out of our depth hence calling in the experts..... I honestly can’t believe the change Brodie has made with my boys in just 10 days of Intensive Training!?!?!! ... She truly is a Dog Whisperer/ Miracle Worker!!!!!!.... My boys seem Sooooo much Calmer and more at Peace now.... We finally are able to actually “Enjoy” a walk rather than it being “just something you had to do”.... We are only 2days post training but we are doing better than we could have ever Dreamed of!!!.... Growing in Confidence with every walk... starting to believe we can do this!!.... That’s stuff money can’t buy!!!.... We will always be in debt to Brodie for bringing our family back together xx

Top Class!!! First Class!! ... no effort or money spared to give the dogs at Taylor Made a happy, enriching wonderful time. Cannot recommend highly enough.

They are great with my dog. She's always exhausted after a day at daycare. They have been very accommodating with us. Highly recommended. Everyone in kendal seems to love them too.

This is the best doggy day care and pet sitting service around!! The care and facility's are second to none😃 Both my dogs love the walks, day care and socialisation they always come home happy, and happy to go back. Would definitely highly recommend Taylor made pet care. They treat the dogs as their own🐶🐶 would not go any where else!!!! 😊😊5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Thankyou Taylor made pet care xx

Brilliant place, well worth every penny . Our dog has come on leaps and bounds thank you to Brodie and the team

Lottie is much loved by all of our animals - especially our three dogs! All very excited And full of beans to see her. They love their walks with her. She also looks after our cats while we're away. Would highly recommend her.

Max loves going out with Charlotte😊🐶 As he's a young dog it's great for him to socialise with other dogs. You can always count on Charlotte for a proper dog walk ! …

Highly recommend. I regularly use Whistles and my dog Arnold loves his walks with Charlotte!

Competent and professional. We feel very secure leaving Bella with her.
