“Sebastian did a great job looking after our cat Rio, sitting at our house. He really helped us out for a last minute booking and everything went super smoothly! Lots of pics and updates on how everything was going. House was spotless when we returned and we were also very grateful (and surprised) that Seb changed our sheets for us - so fresh sheets were very much appreciated as we returned home v late at night!”

About: I have a love for all pets, especially dogs. I live in Horsham in a house with an average size garden. I have lovingly cared for my own dog and now relish helping to care for yours. I am currently on a career break so have no fixed commitments. This means I am flexible and can be available throughout the week and most weekends. In order to care for your dog I would like you to tell me about their personality, the things they enjoy and what to avoid. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. As a keen walker I am more than happy to be out in all weathers.

About: The companionship of animals has always been part of my life. Growing up in the countryside our dogs, Kimmy & Lady - Rough Collies & Tramps a Lab/Alsatain cross were apart everyday life and my best friends. For the last five years I've regularly looked after friends' dogs, so I have become accustom to the different rhythms a dog can have, the ones who want a good long walk to settle, the ones who just want you near, the ones who take a little longer to trust a new face and the ones who don't. There's a particular kind of trust that builds slowly over time with an older animal too, a language of small signals, and a practice of paying real attention, which one learns to read. I've also shared my home with cats for most of my adult years, two of whom lived a good life all the way to 21 and 23, so I'm well practiced with the needs of aging pets generally, not just dogs. Right now I share my home with a 12 year old moggie/Norwegian Forest cat, who came to me as a rescue at six and settled beautifully once he felt safe. So I know what it is to live alongside family pets who have their own mind, their own rhythm, and their own way of letting you in. Whether it's a puppy full of energy or an old soul who moves a little slower these days, I meet each animal as they are. No rushing, no forcing, just quiet attentiveness and the kind of care I'd want for my own. If you're picturing your dog settled, unbothered, still themselves while you're away that's exactly what I'm here to give them. I am a self employed sound and movement coach and manage my own appointments & sessions accordingly, so bookings vary from day to day and at various times throughout the day.I also deliver my services online so can be at home so variety, flexibility is why looking after pets works in synergy with what I do, . I find out as much as possible about your pets likes & dislikes, habits and the things you know work well. I'm there to make sure that your home and pet is cared for as if you were there, so keeping things as normal and familiar as possible. favorite toys, sleeping & eating patterns. Discipline & routines eg, re allowed or not on furniture, sit & wait before receiving food. no begging or tip bits, etc.

“Shellina is a Gem!!! She looked after my two dogs at short notice, both of which have their quirks. She was amazing with them and completely understood their individual needs. I live alone and it is so nice to have found someone I trust with my fur babies. Thank you Shellina! ❤️”

We understand that every pet is different, and we always take the time to get to know their individual routines, personalities and little quirks so they feel comfortable, safe and well cared for. I work on a freelance basis so have a flexible schedule which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention and companionship throughout the day.

About: I'm Eva... a fun-loving, outgoing and bubbly individual who enjoys being outside in nature! I have been housesitting / petsitting for private owners for around 10 years. I am passionate about all animals… but dogs & cats are my speciality! I grew up with lots of pets - ranging from dogs, cats, tortoises, fish and chickens! In addition to the above, I do have a small amount of experience for caring for more unique pets such as chickens, pigs, horses and goats. My previous job roles within the animal industry include Dog Day Care Assistant and Trainer, Operations Assistant at one of the largest dog day care centres in Surrey and was also a Receptionist at my local vets in Horsham. I have also volunteered at Shoreham Dogs Trust in previous years too, with cleaning kennels and walking.

When I’m staying at an owners house - I like to ensure I’m fully equipped with any information about the safety of the property i.e any locks / gates/ outdoor space. As well as where the pet needs to be fed, bathed or the area that they sleep best in. I view animals like people - they all have different personalities / likes and dislikes and I’ll treat your pet in the exact same way you would at your own home. It’s super important for them to feel as comfortable and happy as possible! I will always be honest and inform you of any issues or challenges that potentially arise - without causing fear or worry.

“Charlotte is brilliant! We got married and it was our first time leaving Monty with a dog sitter so I was a bit nervous. We did a few trial walks and an evening tester in the run up but I had absolutely no reason to be nervous as Charlotte is so lovely and was so good with Monty. Monty adored her and we will definitely become regular bookers! Thank you so much x”

About: My kitten of 18 years passed away last year, so I now have an empty nest. I know from experience how hard it is to find someone you trust to leave your baby with when you need to go away, so I'm offering a home from home for your pet. I have experience in giving all types of medication, and understanding different behaviours... and most important of all, your pet will be welcome up on the couch for cuddles. I am home all day so they will not be left alone, and can send you updates and photos as often as you wish :) I work from home, so your pet will have my attention whenever they want or need. This also means I can fit in any feeding or medication schedual. I will also be free to contact any time. I am home all day, so your baby will not be left alone... unless that's their thing! If they're young and want play time, I'll be there to play... or if they're a bit older and just want to lay on the couch and get stroked I can do that too :)

About: I've been around dogs for most of my life and genuinely love spending time with them. Growing up, I had a family dog, which gave me a strong understanding of the care, attention, and exercise dogs need. I regularly look after my sister's Golden Retriever, so I'm experienced with larger breeds and their daily routines. I've also provided dog sitting and dog walking for several owners through BorrowMyDoggy, caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I'm currently on the waitlist for a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, so I've been continuing to learn about training, enrichment, and responsible dog ownership while I prepare to welcome my own dog. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care while they're with me. I’m currently not working so have plenty of time to care for your pet, I’m active and like be outside so would love to take your dog on a walk or run with me! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn about each pet's routine, personality, and any specific needs before providing care, so I can keep their experience as familiar and stress-free as possible. In your home, I'll respect your pet's usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if required), and any house rules you've set. I'll also make sure your home is left clean, tidy, and secure. If caring for pets in my home, I'll provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where they can relax and feel at home. Pets will always have fresh water, plenty of attention, regular toilet breaks, exercise, and lots of affection. I never leave pets unsupervised for longer than necessary and always ensure they're secure on walks using the lead and equipment you're comfortable with. Communication is important to me, so I'll keep you updated with regular messages and photos, giving you peace of mind while you're away.

About: I've been a dog owner for many years and have always had dogs as part of my family. Over the years, I've regularly been trusted by friends and family to care for their dogs of all ages, whether for a day, a weekend, or longer periods while they are away. I also have experience house sitting and understand the importance of maintaining a pet's routine and providing a safe, comfortable environment. I am passionate about dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Every dog in my care is treated with kindness, patience, and affection, with their happiness, wellbeing, and safety always my top priority. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else requires trust, and I aim to provide a loving home-from-home experience, giving owners complete peace of mind while they are away. I work from home full time, which means I am able to provide dogs with plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. As a dog owner myself, my daily routine is already built around the needs of my own dogs, including regular walks, feeding times, play, and rest. Having dogs in my care fits naturally into my lifestyle, allowing me to be flexible and responsive to their individual needs. Whether it's providing company during the day, regular exercise, or maintaining a familiar routine, I can ensure your dog receives the care, attention, and affection they deserve. Your dog's safety, happiness, and wellbeing are my top priorities. At my home, I have a large, secure enclosed garden where dogs can safely play and explore. I also have two friendly small dogs of my own who can provide companionship for sociable visitors. Living on the edge of the South Downs means we have access to wonderful countryside walks, giving dogs plenty of opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and adventure. For house sitting, I understand how important routine is to a dog's wellbeing. I will follow your pet's usual schedule as closely as possible, ensuring minimal disruption while you're away. Whether in your home or mine, I will care for your dog as if they were my own, providing lots of love, attention, and reassurance. For dog walking services, I provide fun, stimulating walks tailored to your dog's age, energy level, and individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys an energetic countryside adventure or a gentler stroll, they'll receive plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I also offer drop-in visits for pets who need feeding, companionship, toilet breaks, playtime, or simply a reassuring check-in while you're out. I'll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after until you return.
