Pet care experience

I'll care for your dog like they're my bestie

I have been around dogs all my life, owned them and cared for other peoples. I have walked and boarded dogs from 'Borrow my Doggy' for the last 5 year but am now retired so more time to indulge in my favourite pastime. I will be led by your instruction re aspects of care to ensure continuity as believe your dog needs that. I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe and get exercise and cuddles

Thank you so much for looking after our little Teddy. He had such a lovely stay and was clearly very well cared for. He enjoyed lots of walks, cuddles, and attention, and it was so reassuring to know he was in such good hands. We really appreciated it and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you.

Doggy Day Care • Mar 15, 2026

Margaret looked after Pippa for the day with a view to us booking more dates for later in the year. Pippa had a great time and seemed very happy and settled. Margaret was really accommodating and kept us updated with photos and videos even though Pippa was only there for the day. We really appreciated those! Safe to say we’ve booked our next dates in!!

Fudge had a great time with Margaret, and settled well considering it was her first visit. Margaret is a natural with dogs and Fudge will definitely be visiting again soon. I would recommend anyone to let their dog stay. Thank you!

Ringo had a great time with Margaret! We received regular updates and photos during his stay which reassured us he had settled. When we collected him he was very affectionate with Margaret and seemed very happy to be with her. We were more than pleased with Margaret looking after our dog and would highly recommend her! Thankyou

Schedule

I am retired so can be flexible about time and days. I live alone but am visited by friends and family including 2 grandsons aged 6 and 10. I live near Rivelin and Loxley Common so plenty of opportunity for local walks.

I live in a detached house with a garden which is fully enclosed. I do not have any other pets but friends sometime visit with their dogs. No-one smokes inside the house or in the garden. I can accommodate crated if required

A typical day

We still explore the local area including Loxley common. We'll spend time in the garden, play ball or tug of war games. I am retired so at home most of the day so plenty of time for cuddles
