About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog owner. Having grown up with pets, I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your furry family members with the same love and respect you do. With loads of experience from my time with Borrow My Doggy, I’ve cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I know that every dog has different needs and requirements, and I pay close attention to all those little details that help your pup feel safe and welcome—even if that means sharing my favorite spot on the sofa! Your dog will enjoy playing in my spacious garden or joining me for fun walks at the park, just a 5-minute stroll away. Plus, they’ll get to hang out with my friendly Dachshund, Bruno, who loves making new friends! I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and make their day a little brighter with some fun and furry company! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine since I’m home most of the time. I love taking Bruno, my friendly Dachshund, for walks to tire him out, but I’m very flexible with your pup’s needs. Whether your dog prefers cozy time at home or enjoys long walks, I can easily adjust to their routine. I work from home most days and only go to the office 1-2 days a week. If planned in advance, I can either bring your dog with me or arrange to work from home the entire week to ensure they get all the attention they need! When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize safety and comfort. I make sure to puppy-proof the house to prevent any accidents and keep the environment safe for curious pups. I provide plenty of playtime in my spacious garden and take them on fun walks to the nearby park. I’m also very cautious about what dogs eat, so I never give them any human food, understanding that they have different digestion processes.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was small with dogs in the family, with friends and I now have a dog of my own, a jack russell, dachshund cross called Ava. Since Ava has come into my life, I’ve completed various dog training courses to ensure she is getting the best start and have enjoyed seeing the impact so much I have fallen in love with dogs even more now I understand them better. Most of my experience is with terriers and hounds, but I also have experience with pugs, spaniels, poodle crosses and border collies to name a few. I have taken care of dogs at different stages in their life and development from puppies to senior dogs who have varied personalities from chilled to nervous and reactive. My training has mostly been with IMDT (Institute of Modern Dog Training) where I completed the 'becoming a dog trainer', 'body language' and 'dog nutrition' courses. With Ava, I’ve also completed recall classes and agility courses designed to enrich our dogs’ lives. Lastly I have also completely a puppy training course through Canine Science so feel well equipped to ensure different dogs and breeds have a wonderful fulfilling day with us. Ava's care is at the top of my list. Completing the various dog training courses, I have learnt that varied walks make for happy dogs. I live in a flat so we can often be found outside exploring a new park, walking trail or playing training games. I have a dog of my own who is very well adjusted and loves having other dogs for company. We go for regular walks and play enrichment games to stay entertained and fulfilled as well as providing comfy beds for a calm environment where rest is just as important as enrichment. My dog was crate trained and still sleeps in it overnight so there is a crate available in my home should that make your dog more comfortable. I have a balcony with a sofa so when it’s warm we also sit on the balcony where my dog enjoys napping in the sun and people watching.

About: I have had family dogs my whole life and have been looking after my neighbours and friends dogs over the last 5 to 6 years. I’m currently working from home so I’m flexible to walk dogs in the morning/lunchtime or evenings and can offer lunch time check in’s as well as dog sitting in people’s homes. I am happy to follow any specific instructions you may have for your furry friend and will look after them as if they were my own.

“Kate is absolutely great, and Kenni our dog absolutely loves her. Lots of fun walks rain or shine and a tired puppy afterwards.”


About: Jack Russells have been in my family all my life and my grandmother at one time had 8 different breeds of dog! So I am well experienced with a variety of shapes, sizes and ages. We now have a much loved sausage dog of our own, Nelly, who loves walks and balls. My partner Chris and I often do Rover sitting together and we love spending our time walking in the parks local to our area but also like to drive to a variety of parks and woodlands further afield. Offering everything from walking up to prolonged sleepovers while you go away on holiday. Can also offer a pick up service in South London for a small additional fee. Please contact me with any questions you may have. Look forward to hearing from you! Currently working from home most days with flexible long lunch breaks for walking. My partner is a teacher so home all day every day in school holidays. We also have our own dog to go on a good dog walk once a day. Fenced garden and no where is off limit to dogs in our house! We spend most of our time at home and your dog wouldn’t be left alone for longer than it takes to pop to the shop!

About: I have rescued a Dog (staffy) in the past, as well as been housesitting/petsitting a dog and two cats for a family for 5 years whenever they go on holidays or short trips away. I have also worked in a butterfly house at the Hamptoncourt flower show where I would take care of butterflies from the Pupa stage to Adult. So I have experience with a wide range of animals. And can look after a few at a time. My job requires me to have seasons off at a time so more often than not I am available all hours of the day for long periods. My home is quite large and I have a spacious high fenced garden and two huge parks within 4min walking distance on either side of where I live. When housesitting I can adapt to the schedule and information provided whilst happily tending to any other minor tasks such as watering plants etc.

About: I used to have my own dog when I was young, and always attracted to dogs whenever I go, I enjoy being around animals, and love playing with them as well as looking after them. I live closely near Greenwich park , as well as other two local parks , with very stable routine that having two day offs on Friday and Saturday I have space at home to accommodate dog to stay if it is needed, as well as balcony that always dog to have some fresh air if it is needed when stay indoor .

About: **Your Promo/Discount Code: VALENT976608 ( for new Rover clients )** I was raised surrounded by different animals ( dogs, cats, rabbits, ducks, chickens, etc.), and I learned how to love them for who they are and respect the healing they bring into our lives. I've also raised 2 dogs for 16 years and tended to their needs through several changes such as travelling, moving houses and countries, sickness, and passing. In addition to my personal life, I've also looked after some of my friends' dogs and cats whenever necessary. I know how important your pet is to you and I assure you that they will be cared for with love and respect. #remoteworking #garden #loveanimals #lovedogs #safespace I work from home Mon-Fri and my weekend is completely free so they will have consistent company and attention. We will take walks in the nearby parks. I will be able to accommodate your pet's special needs such as sleeping habits, supplements/medicine, walk duration or frequency, etc. The main priority is to make them feel safe, expressive, and cared for. *** Ground floor flat with unfenced communal garden. Two large parks close by. ***

Sofia J.
“I left my chihuahua Henry with Sofia when I went on holiday for a week. I was worried to leave him with anyone but all my initial worries went away when I saw how caring she was. Henry fell in love with her from the beginning. She sent me daily photos and videos with him and was very patient with his eating habits. I don’t normally trust people with my dog but I 100% recommend Sofia, she definitely goes the extra mile.”

“I can totally recommend Janya as an outstanding caregiver. She has a natural way with animals who adore her. I leave my toy poodle with her for the day once a week confident she'll play with him in the garden, walk him in the nearby park, make sure he's fed and taken outside to poo, and cuddle him on the sofa! He is staying there for a week while I'm on holiday and I know he'll be fine. She has a lovely warm personality and answers texts quickly. I couldn't ask for anything more!”

She has been brought up with dogs: three Jack Russells - Pickle, Kevin and Jimmy have been part of our family and all played a big part in her life and she has loved them all. So if you need someone to walk your dog I can guarantee she she won't let you down and if you need someone to care for your dog while you are away rest-assured she will provide a five-star dog hotel experience!”
