1. Rachel W.

“We booked Rachel our first dog sitter to care for our nervous but lovely boy whilst we were away. At least he was on his own house and his routine. Rachel was brilliant with messages and pictures whilst we were away. Raffy was very well looked after, walked and fed exactly as he is used to. We returned to a happy dog and our house as we left it Highly recommend.”


2. Varun S.
“I am thrilled to recommend Varun as a dog walker and sitter on Borrow My Dog. Varun has always had a deep love for dogs, and it truly shows in the way he cares for them. He has a 6.5-year-old golden retriever who absolutely adores him, and it's easy to see why—Varun is a loving, attentive, and amazing caregiver. He’s incredibly trustworthy and responsible, ensuring that every pet in his care is safe, happy, and well-looked after. Varun finds pure joy in being around cats & dogs and always goes the extra mile to keep them entertained, comfortable, and loved. I have no doubt he’ll treat every pet he meets as if they were his own. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your furry friend with as much love and attention as you would, Varun is the perfect choice!”


3. Charlie P.

“I recently had the pleasure of having Charlie as a dog sitter for my beloved sausage dog, Sunny, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. One of the highlights of Charlie's service was her consistent communication. Throughout the night, she sent me numerous adorable photos and videos of Sunny, which kept me reassured and made me feel connected to my furry friend. Charlie clearly has a genuine love for animals, and it truly showed in her interactions with Sunny. What impressed me the most about Charlie was her ability to connect with Sunny on a personal level. Sunny can be very shy around new people, but she quickly warmed up to Charlie. I highly recommend Charlie as a dog sitter. She not only provided excellent care for Sunny but also went the extra mile to ensure that I felt connected and at ease throughout the experience. If you're looking for a reliable, responsible, and loving dog sitter, Charlie is the one to choose. I will definitely be reaching out to her for future pet-sitting needs.”

5. Daisy W.
“Daisy is a very hard working, dedicated, and caring professional. She has a wonderful connection with our dog, so wonderfully caring and friendly, always accommodating to any request. Will always play his favourite games, makes sure he's happy and well fed, as well as well spoilt. Daisy is always the first person we ask when we need someone to look after our pet.”

“Katie got on very well with Rupert and Inky and did everything she could to ensure they had a good time and were well looked after. Reliable and communicative. Would recommend.”

8. Jessica B.
“Jess is a fantastic dog sitter and I would most definitely use her again! She took great care of our Labrador, Luna and followed the routine that we left for her. This is the first time that we used a dog sitter instead of kennels. Luna was settled and happy and Jess was also happy to look after our cats too. She is very professional and caring and is experienced and confident with dogs and other animals.”

10. chloe a.

“Chloe was excellent. We weren’t able to arrange a pre meeting before the dog sitting purely because it was a last minute booking but Chloe was happy to receive all instructions via message and really great with communication. Chloe went above and beyond to ensure our dogs were well looked after, walked, watered and fed!! She even did a couple bits of washing up for us as we had to leave in a rush which we never asked for or expected. I would not hesitate to booking Chloe again. Thank you for everything Chloe.”

13. Alexandros G.
“I am incredibly grateful to have found Alexandros for pet sitting and dog care. Over the past year he has taken care of my [ Alex mix breed, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Alexandros has an innate ability to connect with animals, and his love for dogs is evident from the moment you meet him. He is patient, attentive, and genuinely cares about the well-being of each pet he looks after. My dog absolutely adores him and always looks forward to their time together. What sets Alexandros apart is his reliability and professionalism. He is always punctual and maintains clear communication, providing regular updates and photos that offer peace of mind when I am away. His knowledge about pet care is extensive, and he handles any situation with calm and confidence.”


14. Caroline B.

“My usual dog sitter, that i had had for years could no longer sit for us due to moving away. With a wedding coming up i didn't know where to go but a friend recommended rover. I was a little sceptical at first but after looking on the site i decided to get in touch with Caroline. Right from the word go she put me at ease. I found she was easy to comunicate with and very professional. We arranged for her to meet the dogs and they took to her immediately. On the day, she arrived on time and sent regular up dates and pics throughout the day. She looked after my 2 dogs and a 9 week old puppy with care and probably spoilt them even more than i do. I would highly recommend Caroline as she is kind, caring, punctual, reliable, professional and overall a lovely lady. Thank you Caroline for making my day stress free in the knowledge that my fur babies were in competent, caring, safe hands.”


15. Drew H.
“I booked Murphy in with Drew for a weekend…..amd he absolutely loved it. Prior to taking him round to the home she went through all his needs and asked alot of questions about any behavioural issues, dietary requirements or specific commands which I thought was very professional and new he was going to be in great hands. You could tell instantly he was comfortable with her once we got there. She also went that extra step to send over a few photos and vids when they were out on a walk. Drew will be my number one choice the next time I need a sitter or even walker. Can’t recommend enough! Keep smashing it drew!! Thankyou!🐾”

“I felt very comfortable leaving Joey with Alexandra. Lovely girl that kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the day where he went on nice walks 😊. Highly recommend and will be rebooking.”

“Jo truly cares about animals and their wellbeing, she is reliable, trustworthy and would love and care for your pet like her own. Jo loves walking and so your pet will be well exercised! I would whole heartedly trust and recommend her to care for your pet whilst giving you peace of mind they are in in good hands! Jo will take the time to get to know your pet and support them to settle into her home environment. Jo is very experienced with caring for dogs and I would not hesitate to recommend her a a pet sitter.”

“Nikkita looked after Kimbo while we went away for the week. She sent us regular updates and pictures of Kimbo while we were away which was really appreciated. Kimbo seemed to have had an incredible time with Nikkita and the house was left very clean. I will not hesitate to book Nikkita for dog sitting/walking again or recommend her to family and friends”
