“Lowri is absolutely amazing! Our cat had a wonderful time with her. Lowri followed all of our instructions carefully, sent regular updates along with plenty of photos, and made sure to consider every little detail to ensure both Honey and our home were well looked after. It was clear that Honey was getting top-notch care. We came home to a happy and relaxed cat! After searching for the perfect sitter for a while, we finally feel like we've found the one. We will definitely book Lowri again!”


“Douglas did a beautiful job looking after our cats while we were away for the weekend - he even got our shy and anxious cat to play with him! Douglas was also very flexible and accommodating, offering to come over to meet the cats and get a little tutorial on our complicated automatic feeder. I would highly recommend him as a cat sitter and will definitely be booking him again”


“It was lovely meeting Tracy in person and she took care of Bruce and Garry really well during the weekend when she came to visit! She even made an extra effort with Bruce who’s super shy and we really appreciate it! Thank you so much Tracy!”


About: I have had dogs continuously for 30 years, at all stages of life. - raised and trained four puppies, so I am happy to continue or implement any training you want. Also happy to get up in the night for toileting if necessary. - I’m fit and love exploring new areas, so happy to take dogs on nice long walks. I also have a good throwing arm for dogs obsessed with balls. - I’m patient and happy to take my time with senior/nervous/special needs pets. My philosophy is that bites and scratches are my fault for not doing something the way your pet wants it done. I love all animals equally, and have had the privilege to care for several cats, too :) I am self-employed and work from home, so I am very flexible with how/when I do my work. Basically, I work around a pet’s routine! I understand how important routine can be, especially when change occurs (such as you going away and/or meeting a new person!) so I will do my utmost to maintain those routines. I also understand how stressful it can be to leave your baby with someone you don’t know, so I’m happy to come meet you first if feasible, or at the very least do a video call. Don’t worry if your instructions are 10 pages long - I’ve had sitters too, I get it :)

“Lara is amazing! She looked after our cat, Kekik, for a whole week while we were away, and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. When we got back, Kekik was so relaxed and happy, it was like we never left. You could tell she’d been really well cared for. Lara took care of everything, kept us updated, and just made the whole experience super easy and stress-free. We’re so grateful and will 100% be calling her again next time we need a sitter. Highly, highly recommend!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years and have six wonderful pups back home who I miss every single day while I’m away studying. Being a student without them isn’t easy, but BorrowMyDoggy has been such a lovely way to stay connected to the dog-filled life I love. I’ve used it to walk, play with, and care for all kinds of dogs, each one filling that dog-shaped space in my heart. From playful puppies to sweet seniors, I’ve helped with everything from walks and cuddles to grooming, feeding, medication, and training. I treat every dog like they’re my own—because to me, they are, even if just for a little while. During the summer, I’m completely free and have plenty of time to care for and hang out with your pups! Once school starts, my schedule gets a bit busier, but I still make time for pet care during afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or overnight stays, I do my best to stay flexible and available. I live in a cozy one-bedroom flat with lovely parks just steps away—perfect for daily walks and playtime. I welcome all fur babies on the couch and in bed for cuddles, just like my own. I keep a calm, safe environment and happily provide baths if needed. Whether it’s relaxing indoors or playing outside, your pup will feel loved, clean, and completely at home with me.

About: 🎡 Waterloo based animal lover 👩🏻💻 WFH regularly and available for local drop in visits, walks, and daycare 🐾 former dog owner (mine stayed in Italy) 🙋🏻♀️ bringing love, care, and experience with energy and flexibility I am a Trainee Solicitor and work from home full time one week on and one week off (so every other week). During weeks that I am in the office, I am back around 7PM and am always wfh on Fridays. For all services we can coordinate what is best for you, your pet, and your schedule. I’m happy to travel a reasonable distance and am also available early in the morning or late in the evening.

About: I have joined Rover as I miss my family pets back home! Before moving to London I looked after my two family dogs, a German shepherd (Jake) and a border collie/German shepherd mix (Janet). They are very energetic and loving dogs. They like to just sit under the lemon trees in the backyard and go on long walks around the park. We first fostered them as puppies so I am comfortable with both younger and older dogs. I am happy to meet you and your pet prior to any walking arrangements to establish open communication, disclose any concerns, set goals, and answer any questions you may have. I currently work full-time. I am available for most of the week as I WFH half of the time. I try to sync up my daily breaks with the pet I am caring for (usually about every 2-3 hours). I try to care for the pets as they are my own. I make sure that there aren’t any potentially harmful objects around the apartment and that all doors and windows remain closed.

“Pablo was so sweet with our bunnies and made us feel secure while we were on vacation, always letting us know he arrived and communicated every step of the way! We are so grateful! ☺️🙏🏻”


“Willow’s very first boarding experience was with Libby, and she was the perfect host! Willow is a very timid cat & Libby was super mindful and respectful of her introverted ways. I felt very much at ease as Libby sent me a couple of updates everyday to let me know Willow had settled in & was eating well. 10/10 would recommend, thank you so much once again, Libby! x”


“Sevinj was an absolute star with our sweet Poppy! She took really good care of her while we were away. We contacted her with very short notice, she was super flexible and helpfu. She sent us lots of videos and photos and she’s was super sweet. We definitely recommend her and we will be booking her again in future for sure! Thank you Sevinj, absolute star 💖”


About: I actually started off caring for giant dogs from 5 years-old and worked my way through a myriad of both species and sizes over my childhood; by adolescence I came to realise that I just love animals, in all the infinite differences and peculiarities. But between you and me, I am particularly fond of dogs and cats. I typically work from home as a composer so disturbances are to a minimum as far as I am aware. Also, no need to fret - all ordinarily loud instruments are headphone jack-friendly. My house is gated with a respectably sized fenced back garden with the beautiful Queens Park in the immediate vicinity. There are a surplus of wonderful locations and other areas for walks around my location too.
About: Ive owned a dog since I was 7 years old and before then I was always known as the neighborhood dog walker. I have now been sitting through Rover for about 3 years and have kept consistent clients since then. I have taken every opportunity i could throughout my life to spend more time around animals whether it was through dog sitting or walking the pets of others or just spending any free moment I had with my own dog. In addition to my personal pets I have also held multiple jobs where my primary respobsibilty was the care of animals. I was head volunteer and stable hand at a horse stable. I also volunteered at the Boulder Humane society for 7 years before I moved away to college. In this position I spent my afternoons cleaning, walking, feeding, playing with and just giving general love and care to the dogs of the humane society. I am starting my masters at UCL in the fall and I have a lot of free time on my hands until then. I would love to dedicate this free time and energy I have to giving your pets a vacation at home while you have a vacation away! I will ensure they never feel alone or get bored :). When caring for your pet at your own home I make sure to leave the space just as I found it if not better. I will fit into whatever schedule you prefer or have set for your pet and will comply with any request you have for specific care since I understand each pet is completely different and will need care specified to them. I want this to be the most stress free experience possible for both you and your pets and I will make sure to send you lots of pictures so you don’t miss them too much!

About: I began sitting dogs when I rescued my own, Polly, in a small Colombian town when she was just three months old. She’s now four years old, calm, well-trained, and incredibly friendly with both people and other dogs. In my family, dogs are part of everyday life—my sisters have a schnauzer, a husky, and a border collie, my brother has a cocker spaniel, and my mother also has a cocker. I’ve had the joy of caring for each of them at different times, and they all get along beautifully with Polly. Because Polly is so gentle, she naturally helps other dogs settle in, especially those with separation anxiety. Beyond my family, I’ve also looked after my partner’s sister’s dogs—a Boston terrier and a large 40 kg mixed breed—and several dogs from the friendly pet community I’ve joined since moving to the UK a year ago. One of Polly’s closest friends here is a nine-year-old Boston terrier, who I’ve cared for during longer stays of 10 and 12 days. No matter the breed, size, or personality, I adapt to their needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Since completing my master’s degree, I work remotely from home, which means I can give dogs full-time attention. My days are already built around Polly’s care—we go for three walks daily, including time for play, sniffing, and exploring new routes. Having this routine makes it easy to welcome other dogs into our schedule without disrupting their needs. Because I’m home throughout the day, I can stick to your dog’s specific feeding times, walk schedules, and play sessions. I also prepare Polly’s BARF meals every two weeks, so I’m used to following precise feeding instructions, whether for raw diets, cooked meals, or kibble. With my flexible hours, I can accommodate early morning drop-offs, late pick-ups, or special routines, making your pet’s time with me stress-free for both you and them. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly studio flat with Polly. Although it’s a studio, it has plenty of room for dogs to move around, and a large, secure, fully fenced balcony where they can enjoy fresh air, sunshine, and people-watching. Polly loves lying out there, and visiting dogs often join her for a peaceful rest. When caring for dogs in my home, I make sure the space is safe, tidy, and free from hazards. I respect each owner’s preferences for feeding, exercise, and sleeping arrangements, and I’m attentive to special needs such as medication or anxiety management. I treat every dog as if they were my own—ensuring they feel secure, happy, and loved from the moment they arrive until the moment they go home.

About: Ho maturato diversi anni di esperienza nella cura di animali domestici, in particolare cani, gatti e piccoli animali da compagnia cani e gatti (volatili e rettili ).
