Let’s Go Walkies and Daycare opens at Ennerdale Mill in Egremont

Let’s Go Walkies and Daycare has been opened at Ennerdale Mill in Egremont by successful dog walker, Hannah Eldon, who wanted to expand her business.

The day care centre features soft play sets, a ball pool, a mini trampoline, and a play castle with a mini slide. There are cosy sofas and armchairs for the dogs to snuggle on as well as wooden dog pens, a teepee pen and a puppy pen.

Four-legged friends can also enjoy lots of toys, teddy bears, hard wearing durable chews and tennis balls. In the outside area, there are agility aids, ramps, a see-saw, jumps, and water pools.

There is also an on-site dog groomer - The Dog Barber.

Hannah said: “It’s going really well. The dogs are absolutely loving it.

“I couldn't have set it all up in the amount of time I did without the help of Amy Wilson, who owns Scallywagz Pet Services. She has been an incredible support, and we've learned lots of news skills together and throughout the process.

“We built the wooden pens and did the fences ourselves. The only thing we didn't do was lay the new flooring. The pens might have started slightly wonky but it was nothing we couldn't fix without a few laughs and tears.”

The day care centre offers a structured day with play time and interaction with Hannah, outdoor play time and toilet breaks. Dogs then get to rest in their pens, with each dog having their own safe space. After this, dogs enjoy free play, followed by more outdoor play.

Hannah keeps a daily log of what each dog has been up to and a copy of this can be given to the owner if they wish.

After Christmas, Hannah aims to build a sand pit for the dogs to play in and create a cover for the outdoor area so the dogs can enjoy being outside without getting soaked in the Cumbrian weather.

The centre currently accommodates 13 dogs each day, including Hannah’s own dogs.
