Pet care experience

(Katie) Dog aficionado since birth!

While I wasn’t lucky enough to grow up with my own dog, I have always been around family and friend’s dogs. On moving to London, I signed up to Borrow My Doggy and looked after multiple dogs - both just for walks and in owners’ houses. I was lucky to be down the road from a good friend for 3 years and regularly looked after their whippet (Goose) when they needed. I even had her for a sleepover when they welcomed their baby. I am confident and assertive around dogs and would just love to have them in my life a bit more while I’m still unable to get my own.

Katherine was kind and accommodating. Sonny had fun activities while we were away and appeared content when we collected him. Thank you Katy.

Kathryn has just watched our pup for the second time and she is a gem. She’s great with Teddy, punctual, communicative with confirmation and updates, and very respectful of our home. We will absolutely be having her back.

Katie was wonderful! She was professional and kept us updated on our pup throughout the day. We could tell that our pup was very comfortable with her. We will definitely be booking with Katie again.

Kathryn was a brilliant sitter and we would thoroughly recommend. She took our cocker spaniel out for a long walk and he was calm and happy when we returned. She had great communication and we felt really comfortable leaving Buzz with her

Schedule

I work from home on Tuesdays and Fridays and would love to have a pup to snooze by my feet for some of the day and get me out and about walking too. At weekends I am fairly social but love getting out for walks whether with friends or on my own.

Safety, trust & environment

I have recently moved back to Portsmouth and into my first house. I have a small garden and would be happy to have dogs in my home.

A typical day

I love a good long walk along the seafront but am equally happy curled up at home on the sofa or playing tug of war in the garden!
