Why choose Lakeland Dog Walker
EXPERIENCED - FULLY INSURED - DBS POLICE CHECKED - PET FIRST AID TRAINED - PRIVATE SECURE FIELD
We have invested significant time and effort to ensure that the service we provide to both you and your pet is of the highest standard. We firmly believe that we deliver exceptional pet care and are proud to offer a service that is friendly, courteous, responsible, reliable, professional, and trustworthy.
Whilst we are looking after your pets and they are in our care, we have a responsibility to the public and our customers. We are fully insured through Pet Business Insurance, one of the UK’s leading pet care insurers with specialist experience in providing animal related industries with insurance cover.
We want you to have complete confidence in our service, which is why all team members are fully DBS checked. A Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check confirms that we have been screened for any convictions, cautions, reprimands, or warnings recorded on the England and Wales National Police Computer. Your security is of utmost importance to us, and our DBS certification provides an additional layer of reassurance.
We are fully trained in canine first aid and each member of the team holds a valid canine first aid certificate. This ensures we possess the knowledge and skills required to respond safely and efficiently should a dog become unwell or injured. We each carry individual canine first aid kits, providing added assurance that your dog is in safe and capable hands.
10+
years
Lakeland Dog Walker was established in January 2015, giving us over a decade of experience in caring for dogs. Over the years, we have gained valuable insight into what works effectively—and what does not—allowing us to provide the highest possible standard of service for your pets.
All the dogs we walk must wear an ID tag with their owners information on, but they also get a Lakeland Dog Walker ID tag put on their collar for extra security.
We have two fully equipped dog transport vans, each featuring a two-up, two-down caged system at the rear, with additional space in the centre for up to two further dogs. This setup ensures that every dog travels safely and securely in its own designated area.
Naomi’s van is fully electric, supporting our commitment to environmental sustainability. Many of the dogs recognise the sound of our vans arriving and greet us with great excitement.
We own a three-acre field in Cockermouth, which includes a secure 1.25 acre dog enclosure. The pen is fully surrounded by six-foot fencing and features a paddling pool, various obstacles, and ample space for the dogs to run and play off lead. This facility provides a safe environment where dogs that are typically unable to be let off lead can enjoy greater freedom and exercise.
