“Our dog has had the most wonderful stay with Mehtap. I was updated with photos of their adventures and I could see my girl was happy and relaxed to be with Mehtap. She certainly made me and Deena feel reassured and I know she was made to feel like one of the family. I felt so confident that Deena was cared for so well, I have booked for Deena to stay another night the following week.”

“We were very anxious about leaving our dog for the first time, but Gabriella quickly put our minds at ease. They were warm, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs. We got regular updates, which really helped us feel connected while we were away. Most importantly, our dog was happy, healthy, and relaxed when we returned. We’re so grateful for the care he received and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommend!”


“Karen was amazing looking after Chewie. It was great to see the lovely photos of him having a walk and being treated so wonderfully. Chewie had a great time and was happy when I picked him up. I would 100% definitely recommend Karen to anyone and I will use again when in need of a dog sitter in the future.”

“We couldn’t recommend Zsuzanna more! What a kind and caring sitter. We needed to drop Annie off earlier than planned and she was more than accommodating, felt instantly at ease which was perfect as we had a busy day and couldn’t check our phones. Seeing the updates later was lovely and Annie obviously had the best time playing games. She slept all afternoon when we got home, happy dog!”


“Gigi was fantastic looking after Freddie. She made sure that everything was tailored to suit his needs. Gigi was full of love and care for Freddie and continually kept me updated with photos. Freddie loved spending time with Gigi and her son. He enjoyed the play, cuddles, walks and entertainment they provided. I felt comforted by the regular updates and Gigi adapting things for Freddie over the hot weather. Freddie enjoyed his 6 day holiday and I will definitely use Gigi again. Many thanks for the wonderful care you provided!”

“Shishir and Marion took great care of Alfie, from the start they saw I was anxious about leaving him with a strangers and did everything they could help reassure me, allowing me to schedule a few meetings and greets to get to know them and for them to get to know Alfie. Throughout my stay I got daily updates and pictures and felt constantly reassured he was happy whilst I was enjoying my holiday. I would book them again without a doubt and highly recommend them!”

“Would highly recommend Sohee. We had an excellent experience! Lots of updates and pictures which were so lovely. Our dogs were well looked after and her dog Winston was so calm and lovely. We would definitely be reaching out to Sohee again.”

Hazel was wonderfully cared for, so much so that we had to convince her to come home with us again… We were kept updated with pictures and information and they were responding within minutes to us. We will definitely use them again!”

“Jessica did a great job of looking after our cat Coco . Feeding him playing with him and grooming him he seemed very happy when we got home. Also she kept things looking tidy and clean. Would recommend thanks again.”


“Anna is an excellent and reliable sitter. She made sure the kitties were pampered and really well looked after. Furthermore, she went above and beyond and patiently helped with a litter box situation we sadly faced. I can't recommend Anna enough!”

“We were a bit apprehensive as first time Rover users but we need not have worried at all. June was absolutely lovely and brilliant with our cat Merlin. She stayed for 4 nights in our house with him and they formed an almost instant bond, helped by the fact that she met Merlin the week before to make sure he would be okay. She sent lots of pictures every day and he seemed so happy and chilled, it put our minds at ease. We were so pleased to see him so happy and calm and cuddly. Would highly recommend June and we hope she is able to look after Merlin again in the future.”

“Leanne has been great! She has taken care of our cats three times already, and they feel really comfortable with her (particularly the male, who is really shy and always comes out to play with her). She is reliable and very knowledgeable from being a vet nurse, which puts us at ease. We highly recommend her!”


“Thank you Mandy for being gentle and caring with Maisie. I can’t believe she even let you brush her! I appreciate you spending time with her and providing her with some company as well as indulge her with a couple of prawns in the morning!”


“Chloe was great with my cat. She sent photos and followed my instructions really well. I'm so happy she looked after him. My home was tidy and clean when I got back and Timmy seemed very cosy laying in bed waiting for us to come home. Thank you for looking after him whilst we were away 😊”


About: We are family of 3 live in St Albans. We are pet lovers but do not have our own pet yet. However, I have friends and family members have cats. We would love to use this opportunity to extend our care and love to owners that need help.
“Lucia did a wonderful job caring for our cats, feeding them, changing their litter, and making sure everything was done exactly as we asked. She was efficient, caring, and a great communicator, and we would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to others.”


About: Hi, we’re Emily and John! We know leaving your pets is never easy, so we want to help you to have complete peace of mind with someone who treats them like family. We’ve both grown up around animals, I’ve always had cats and understand all their quirky personalities, while John is great with big dogs and helps look after a lively Bavarian Mountain Hound. Having dog and cat-sat for friends and family before, we know how rewarding it is and would love to look after your furry family member. What sets us apart: Extra-loving care: All our hands-on experience comes straight from caring for our own pets. I’ve looked after cats that needed pill and liquid medication, as well as managing long-term conditions like arthritis, to my own lovely Twinkle who reached the grand age of 19! so I'm completely comfortable keeping them cozy, happy, and getting whatever they need.

About: I’ve grown up with cats for as long as I can remember, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. Now that I’ve moved out, I have two cats of my own who are loved and spoiled every day. I understand that every cat has their own personality, whether they’re playful, shy, or love cuddles, and I’m happy to care for them at their own pace. I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away, giving them plenty of attention, playtime, fresh food, and lots of love. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll treat your cat like one of my own.
About: Are you searching for a dog sitter who's not just attentive, but also fun-loving and active?

They'll never feel lonely or bored, as I'll be there to keep them company throughout the day (and vice-versa!), offering plenty of attention. 🐾 Attentive to Their Needs: I understand that every dog has unique daily requirements, from meal times to toilet breaks and everything in between. Rest assured, I'll be fully attentive to your dog's needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for throughout their stay. 📸 Peace of Mind: I know how important it is to stay connected with your pup while you're away.

I live with my partner, Hugo, who has also grown up around family dogs. We are out and about most mornings, and then throughout the day! We love being outdoors, going on long walks, runs, and exploring new places. We also love making the most of the weekends, so your pup may even be lucky enough to join us on a little day trip to the beach/country park/hike! Living in a clutter free and organised home with a garden. Rest assured, your dog will receive all the love and attention they deserve in our safe and comfortable home.
“We were let down by another sitter and booked Emma to look after our cat, Scarlett, at short notice. Emma did a fantastic job: she provided detailed, daily updates, which reassured us that Scarlett was okay. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again.”


About: I've been fortunate to live with cats my entire life and have experience caring for cats with a variety of personalities and needs. I recently adopted a kitten who is half Domestic Shorthair and half Maine Coon, and she keeps me on my toes with her endless energy and love of attention. I also have a Sphynx cat named Finn. Because Sphynx cats require specialized care, I'm experienced with regular skin cleaning, ear cleaning, litter box maintenance (they tend to have faster metabolisms), and administering eye and ear medications when needed. I understand that every cat is different, and I'm happy to adapt to each cat's routine and provide plenty of attention, playtime, and care.

“I highly recommend Gigi!👍🏻 Due to an unexpected family emergency, I needed a pet sitter for my dog, on very short notice. I was so grateful to find Gigi. She responded quickly and immediately gave me peace of mind during a very stressful time. Gigi took excellent care of Far and kept me updated with regular messages, photos, and videos. Seeing how happy and relaxed Far was made me feel completely at ease, allowing me to focus on my family emergency. Gigi is caring, reliable, and truly loves animals. I’m incredibly thankful for her help and will definitely book with her again. Highly recommended!🌟”

“Natasha was great with my dog Rauru. Every day he stayed with her, he came back happy and with enough stimulation to send him to bed without a fuzz. We'll definitely book Natasha again for a next time.”

“Rodney had such a fun time with Ruby and we felt at ease leaving him with her all day. We had regular photo updates and regular communication. Rodney would love to stay with Ruby again if she’d like him to! Xx”

“We would have no hesitation recommending Gabriella. She was very prompt in correspondence, flexible and accommodating with the day care and Brodie seemed to settle quickly and had a lovely time. Thank you!”

About: I've always loved animals, especially small dogs, growing up with them from a young age. I've looked after our own Pomeranian for the last 4 years and would love to help you out by looking after your small breed - they'd literally have someone to talk to during their stay. I work from home, so will be home the majority of the time. As a Pom owner, I do walks for him already, so an additional dog or two would fit seamlessly into the daily routine. We have a fenced garden for when the weather holds and if it rains I will dry your dog after walks if that's suitable for you. Our dog has total freedom of the house to wander around and be with me in any room, so I would extend the same rules to any visitors we may have.
“Dominique was such a great sitter for Frankie. He can be a nervous boy but she put us at ease and was really sweet and understanding. Her dog Doug is an absolute gent and really took in Frankie under his wing. Will definitely book again.”


“Michele was great in offering to meet Miley before we left her for the day, which made it a less stressful time for her and us. She didn’t want to leave when we collected her and seemed to have been thoroughly tired out by Michele which was great for us as we then had a happy, sleepy puppy for the rest of the day!”

“Left my 6 month old dachshund with June today, and picked up a very happy, very sleepy puppy! She’s clearly had lots of fun and was even trying to head back in to June’s. Lots of updates and pictures throughout the day, will book again! Thanks!”

“Our second time leaving our dog with Zsuzsanna, and he ran in so excitedly and looked at home within seconds! We got so many updates throughout the day, and our dog was very spoilt with lots of lovely long walks! Thanks again, and will be booking in again soon!”

About: My girlfriend and I have been doing dog sitting through borrow my doggy and rover for the last 6 years in London, we’ve just moved to St Albans I work hybrid and Sarah is fully remote, so we have plenty of time on our hands for your furry friends. Very good with keeping to training and routine. I have had dogs and cats all of my life, but taken care in a professional sense over the last few years. I am currently working from home most of the week, as does my partner. We see this as a great excuse to get out for walks and explore the local area. I have a very safe flat within a gated community, I’m always able to keep an eye on dogs and my partner is regularly here too to help (she is also an experienced dog sitter). We move all plants out of the pets way when they are visiting and we are very close to a large park. Happy to provide pup dates and do facetime tours of the house if needed.

“We’ve booked Emma several times now and more recently with our puppy Hugo and she always sends lots of updates and the communication is super easy. We can tell Hugo has had a great time and has been well taken care of! Thanks a lot Emma 😊🤗”

About: I've cared for dogs since I was a child with the family dog. I've had experience caring for guide dog puppies, so I'm well prepared for any puppy antics. I'm currently searching for work so my schedule may change, but I will update my profile and availability if it changes. Otherwise, I am available all day everyday except Friday mornings. I live with one friendly cat who will most likely keep to herself. I have a green garden with a fence and I live close to many parks perfect for dog walks.
About: Aimée has owned two Labradoodles most of her life and is missing them now she’s living in London. I have never owned a dog myself but have always been around them and can’t wait to get one when I’m settled. We know how time consuming dogs can be so are here to help, for those busy days. Happy to take your dog out for a walk or look after them if you need to pop out for a few hours. We’d love the opportunity to meet your adorable pup!! We both currently work full time but are available in the evenings and weekends to look after your pups, or help out with any dog walking. We know your dog is a member of your family and your dogs safety is just as important to us, and appreciate how new people and environments can be stressful for dogs. We would love to meet you before with the dog to make sure everyone is comfortable and the relationship is right for the dog.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 and we got our first family dog, since growing up I have looked after and owned all kinds of dogs from Schnauzers to Pit Bulls. Our last dog passed early this year and we would love to get another in time so looking after them for others in the meantime until we are ready fills a huge hole in our hearts. Working from home, both my partner and I are available most days throughout the day so we can take time out to walk and give dogs attention. We have a fenced garden with a security gate and my mum lives next door with her dog who spends time with us regularly. We have a dog loving toddler to also keep your dog company and play.

“I needed a dog walker last minute before traveling and was so pleased to find Brooke. She communicated clearly from the start, was very professional, and kept me updated throughout the walk. My French bulldog, Lily, can be a bit challenging, but Brooke handled her confidently and with care. I’ll definitely be reaching out again.”

“Anna was punctual and friendly. I felt very comfortable leaving our dog Nana with her for a walk. She clearly had a great time and was a very happy dog when she returned. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Anna and I have already booked in for more walks in the future.”

With a country park literally right on our doorstep, your pooches can be assured that they can have as much or as little exercise as they want. My wife works from home and can provide regular toilet breaks, attention, affection and exercise when needed for your pooches so they can feel relaxed and welcome in this home from home. We have 2 Italian greyhound boys, aged 4 and 2. Our property has an enclosed rear garden with 6ft fences and also a gated and fenced front of house with netting to avoid those escape artists taking their chances.

About: I previously raised three dogs of my own and have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs. After they all passed away, I hoped to share the love I had for them with even more dogs. I am also a professional pet groomer. During boarding stays, grooming services can be added if needed, so every owner can welcome home their dog clean, fresh, and smelling wonderful. I work from home Monday to Friday, so I’m available to take dogs out for walks at any time. I can arrange boarding most of the time as well. I have a fenced garden at home, and dogs are free to move around the house except for the bedrooms. There are only two of us in the household, with no children, your dog can enjoy a peaceful, stable environment and have a happy, relaxing holiday. Please tell me about your pet’s daily routine and eating habits. I will do my best to follow their usual schedule so they can feel just as comfortable as they do at home.
About: As someone who grew up with at least one pet in the house (dogs, cats, birds, lizards, and fish), I have a lifelong love of animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. For several years, I provided pet care for people in my apartment complex, gaining experience with anxious pets as well as those requiring medication and extra attention. Bonus: I'm a marine biology graduate, so please let me watch your fish <3 My schedule is currently very flexible! I have open availability throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Because I won't be starting my master's program until September, I'm able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening! I'm happy to work with your pet's routine to make sure they receive the care and attention they need. I am flexible to meet the needs of each animal in their own home. I want to ensure each animal is as happy and cared for as possible.
“Wonderful! I asked for a very last minute walk and Leticia was so helpful and accommodating. Barkley had lots of fun around the local fields. Great communication and punctuality, would recommend! :)🐶🐾”

“Heidi was brilliant - extremely professional, super quick to respond, and went above and beyond to make sure I (and our dog) felt comfortable. She immediately understood the attention and patience needed with our senior dog, and would gladly use her again! Highly recommended”

“Our experience with Emily has been excellent - brilliant communication, always on time, and clearly very experienced with dogs - our Labrador absolutely loves his walkies with her and we feel he is in very safe hands. We look forward to many more bookings. Thank you, Emily!”

“Amanda has been a great sitter for us, for me and for Bentley, on long work days I've been able to relax knowing he's in capable hands. Amanda takes care checking the temperature on hot days and touching the pavement to see if its too hot for paws etc. My dog is overweight so she tempts him with his toys and balls to make sure he gets a bit of movement in on visits. I like the detail Amanda gives when they go out on a longer walk, you can see how long exactly and where around the neighbourhood. He may lunge at other dogs and Amanda is so reassuring to me letting me know if she sees another dog coming she'll cross the road. Thank you so much again!”

“Ben was great, he came over and met Hippo and she was very comfortable with him. The actual walk ended up not happening for reasons that were our fault not Ben’s but he deserves a great review anyway!”

About: Hi, we’re Chris (30) and Renay (29), and both love the company of dogs. Having grown up around dogs we both understand how important it is to find the right person to look after them. Last year my family got a Rottweiler puppy and so I have very recent experience helping to look after him, but we are equally comfortable with older dogs. We live in a house with fenced garden and have plenty of green space within a relatively short walking distance. I currently work from home 2/3 days a week and will be easily able to meet their needs during this time including walks and playing. On weekends we will typically both be around to look after your dog and will thoroughly enjoy long walks with them. We will provide attentive, hands on care for your dog and respond individually to their needs. We have a fenced back garden and no other pets in the house with plenty of green space easily accessible.

About: I’ve had pets since the age of 5 and have experience caring for cats, dogs, fish and small animals such as hamsters. I’m also an experienced horse rider, which has given me confidence with animals of all sizes and temperaments. I truly love animals and am looking to spend more time caring for them. I currently have two kittens, who I absolutely adore. I work from home most days, which gives me flexibility and availability throughout the day for pet care. I’m also widely available at weekends, making it easy to accommodate regular bookings or last-minute requests. I provide pet care in the owner’s home, where pets are happiest and can stick to their usual routine. I’m respectful and tidy in the home and always follow feeding instructions, medication needs and any household rules. I take real care in making sure pets feel relaxed, safe and well loved while you’re away.
About: Myself and my fiancé, Elliot, have grown up with pets all our lives and miss having dogs around so much! We live in St Albans with both Clarence Park and Verulamium Park in super easy reach and we feel at a loss going for walks without a pooch in tow. We’re super active and love to be outside (no matter the weather). We’re a relatively low key, responsible and chilled couple. Both of us have experience looking after our family dogs as puppies, right through to old age. We also appreciate how much of a family member they are and that it’s scary leaving your dog with someone else who you hardly know - we’d of course be open to meeting anyone and their dog before needing to commit to us taking care of them - trust is so important! We promise to care for and love your pooch just as you would :) I work two days a week from home, starting at 9am so can do pick up anytime before. I’m an early riser so morning walks before 9am are no problem. I have an hour for lunch break where I love to get out of the house, and from 5.30pm free as a bird! Boarding over the weekend is no problem and for all day care I’d be taking your pooch of 2-3 walks a day if that suits the dog. Of course if elderly and needs shorter/less walks that’s not a problem! Our garden is completely fenced of with no means of escape! Our home is around 1,000 sq ft mid-terrace. We have no problem with dogs going upstairs but of course if this is against what they do at home, we will enforce any rules you have for them so we don’t undo any training!
About: I have lived with pets all my life, and taken care of other peoples pets for over 5 years. I have experience looking after rescue dogs. I work in the film industry and currently due to the SAG strikes I am not working. Therefore I am home all days of the week and your dog will have my full undivided attention. I live in a cosy flat where I can keep an eye on your dog all time they are here. There is communal garden where dogs can be let out to use the toilet. I live a 5 minute walk away from a local park which lots of dogs that I have a taken care of enjoy walking through. I can take dogs out on regular walks of various lengths depending on what they need and enjoy ! :)
“Emma is a delight - very sweet and patient with my toller retrievers. She is prompt and provides details about each walk which is a real comfort while I’m at work. Would recommend Emma to anyone!”

“We were very anxious about leaving our dog for the first time, but Gabriella quickly put our minds at ease. They were warm, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs. We got regular updates, which really helped us feel connected while we were away. Most importantly, our dog was happy, healthy, and relaxed when we returned. We’re so grateful for the care he received and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommend!”


“Karen was amazing looking after Chewie. It was great to see the lovely photos of him having a walk and being treated so wonderfully. Chewie had a great time and was happy when I picked him up.

“Ethan was fantastic from the initial communications all the way through to the end of Daphne’s stay. Ethan catered to all our requirements and gave lots of lovely updates to let me know how she was getting on. Daphne was clearly well looked after and loved so I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”

About: I live in Marshalswick, St Albans with my two sons aged 17 and 13. I have been a 'borrower' on Borrow My Doggy since 2023 and looked after a big rescue dog and a pair of Maltipoos on a regular basis whilst their owners are away. I've also looked after dogs for friends. We treat the dogs who come to stay with us as part of our family and ensure they have a 'home from home' experience whereby we provide them with the same routines and care their owners give them. Belly rubs, biscuits and snuggles in blankets are always on offer in our house. Currently I am at home most of the week. I only work out of the house on two half days so doggies staying with us are left for a maximum of four hours on two separate days. However, one of my sons is also at home a lot so he looks after dog visitors when I am at work. Dog visitors are provided with their normal routine as much as possible. Mealtimes, walks and bedtimes are consistent and regular. I have a fenced garden and dogs in my care are given regular opportunities to use it. Any dogs staying with us are given a walk twice a day and we have lots of woods and green areas near us to enjoy. Dog guests are always walked on leads. However, over time when I have got to know dogs and recall trust is built, with permission of the owners, I have been able to walk a couple off their leads. I only have one dog at a time or two dogs if from the same home.
“Excellent carers. Hudson settled straight away and was thoroughly looked after as seen in the videos sent each day. Will use again and recommend to others. Thank you Abi and Declan 🐶 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Thank you so much to Elizabeth! Dax was clearly very happy during his stay. She took him out early and kept him cool in the hot weather. She also made sure to play with him and give him cuddles. Couldn't have asked for more”

“Megan was absolutely amazing with our little lad, Winston! Kept up to date with pictures and her communication was on point! We had a last minute booking as we had a wedding to go to and she was more than happy to accommodate. He was absolutely spoilt rotten with his walks and cuddles and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. Megan, her partner and family (special mention to them) were treating him as if he were their own, so much so I think Winston would’ve been happy to stay longer! We would be happy to have them look after him again 😊 thank you so much from us and Winston 🐶”

“My furr Babies stayed for the first time and I've just picked them up and got them home and they're as happy as they always are. Chloe kept me posted with photos of walks and cuddles. Very happy with her care!!”

“Leanne looked after Bruce, my large mixed bull breed, for 5 nights. From making the enquiry, she was really responsive and we agreed an initial meet, so her and her family could meet Bruce, this went well so we agreed the dates. I dropped Bruce off, and Leann already had experience with large breeds and e collar training. This really put me at ease when I left! She sent .e regulat daily updates and photos sp I could see how settled bruce was with them. Wheb i arrived to collect him, he was playing with Leannes son in the garden, really happy. I would not hesitate to recommend Leanne, she gave Bruce love and time and that made him a happy boy! I would also use Leanne in the future. Thank you so much for looking after my 50kg baby!”

“Robin is brilliant! Much better than kennels. It's obvious that he loves dogs and they love him back. He shared videos of our puppy-dogs on various walks, which was way beyond what we expected. If there were 7 stars, he'd score 7.”


About: Hi, we’re Chris (30) and Renay (29), and both love the company of dogs. Having grown up around dogs we both understand how important it is to find the right person to look after them. Last year my family got a Rottweiler puppy and so I have very recent experience helping to look after him, but we are equally comfortable with older dogs. We live in a house with fenced garden and have plenty of green space within a relatively short walking distance. I currently work from home 2/3 days a week and will be easily able to meet their needs during this time including walks and playing. On weekends we will typically both be around to look after your dog and will thoroughly enjoy long walks with them. We will provide attentive, hands on care for your dog and respond individually to their needs. We have a fenced back garden and no other pets in the house with plenty of green space easily accessible.
“Many thanks to Amanda for looking after Teddy so well - dog boarding for 4 nights. He was welcomed into her home and treated as if he was her own - Amanda’s own two lovely dogs were also very welcoming to Teddy. It seemed as if he had been on his own little holiday with lovely walks across the fields and lots of attention. I picked him up tired but clearly very content. Amanda kept me updated throughout with updates and photos and was quick to respond to my messages on dates. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and I know Teddy will be very pleased to go back again- thank you!”

“Sebastian was amazing with Nala! She stayed overnight and really enjoyed herself with his dog Bao, they have become best friends 🥰 They played for hours and Nala had great fun! Sebastian was very reliable and kept me updated with photos and regular updates of how Nala is doing and what she’s been doing. I was able to relax knowing she is safe and happy. I also met Candice his wife who is lovely and you can see they both love dogs very much. Thank you both so much and Nala will definitely be staying with you again soon! 💗🙏🏼”


“Our dog Chai had a wonderful time with Tanirika. He stayed over for 5 days and was well looked after. Tanirika gave us regular updates throughout his stay and we could see he was thoroughly enjoying himself and was in great hands. This reassurance allowed me and my family to relax and enjoy our trip abroad. I highly recommend Tanirika if you ever need someone to look after your dog.”

“Beata was very responsive and sincere. She requested a Meet & Greet to see Cooper dilute to his size. After the quick meet and greet she agreed to take care of him in short notice. Very proactive to send pictures and timely updates. Will surely looking to use her services again. Thank you 🙏”
