“Laura is fantastic, punctual and great at communicating. She is wonderful with Ollie and I know he very much looks getting out on walks with her. I’d highly recommend Laura!”
“Simone is super communicative and reliable. She is also really good with Paolo who can get anxious and stressed on walks, and she calms him down so well. It's so great to see their bond form.”
“Matthew was great and reliable! He made sure to spend some time getting Bruno comfortable and familiarise with him during the first walk. Looking forward to more walks.”
“Really happy with Bradley. He came to pick my dog (Sammy) up from my work place and gave him a good hour walk. Sammy came back from the walk happy. He was also adjustable with my timings. Thank you Bradley!”
“Enrica took care of my dog a few days while we were away. She is patient and took my dog for longer walk than usual. My dog is a rescued dog which is quite timid but still likes her.”
“Natasha was reliable, professional, and great with Haku. Communication was clear and everything went smoothly. I’d definitely have her again and highly recommend her to others!”
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.

“We feel so lucky to have found Cara! From the very first walk, it was clear that she genuinely cares about Kevin and treats him like one of her own. Kevin absolutely lights up when she arrives! Cara is reliable, communicative and always goes the extra mile - whether sending the sweetest photo updates, or taking the time to give him a little extra love and play. Knowing he’s in such caring hands brings us so much peace of mind. It’s such a comfort knowing Kevin is not just walked, but truly cared for. Cara’s kindness, energy, and attention to detail make all the difference. We can’t imagine a better person to trust with our Kevin! Thanks Cara 🩷”
About: Why have one sitter when you can have two!? We're a reliable, fun and outdoorsy couple who work from home 5 days a week, so your pet will always have company, care, and be entertained to their heart's content! We live with Xanthe’s mum in a bright, spacious home with an enclosed garden, close to four parks including Ally Pally 🦮 We've both grown up with animals but now, living in London and about to turn 30, Rover lets us spend time with animals while we’re not quite ready for our own <3 Doing Rover as a duo means double the time with added reassurance. As well as twice daily walks, we can bring your pet for shop runs and, if they like to hit up sunny parks and cafes at the weekend that can be arranged 😉 Each pet we’ve cared for has had their own personality and needs whether it’s extra walks, grooming, or calming nervous pups, we’ll make them our top priority during their stay and are great at understanding animals needs ❤️
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 ). Mi occupo con dedizione delle loro esigenze quotidiane, tra cui alimentazione, passeggiate, igiene, gioco e compagnia La cura degli animali domestici fa parte della mia routine quotidiana in modo naturale e piacevole. Organizzo le mie giornate in modo da garantire orari regolari per passeggiate, pasti, momenti di gioco e compagnia. Mi assicuro che ogni animale abbia l’attenzione e il tempo di cui ha bisogno, adattando la mia routine alle sue abitudini e necessità. Anche nei fine settimana mantengo un impegno costante, perché so quanto sia importante la continuità per il benessere degli animali. Mi occupo degli animali domestici con attenzione e rispetto, sia nella mia casa che a casa del proprietario, adattandomi sempre alle esigenze specifiche di ogni animale. A casa mia creo un ambiente sicuro, tranquillo e accogliente, con spazi dedicati al riposo, al gioco e ai bisogni quotidiani.

About: I have experience in pet care, both in my home country of Thailand and in London. Back in Thailand, I have a corgi who I take care of most of the time whenever I’m home. My responsibilities include feeding, taking it out for walks, and providing general care and affection. Additionally, I frequently look after my friend’s Pomeranian in London for extended periods. This has given me lots of experience in managing the needs of different dog breeds, ensuring they are healthy, happy, and well taken care of. I recently graduated with a bachelor’s degree and am currently in the process of applying for and interviewing for jobs. My schedule is quite flexible and can be adjusted according to the clients’ needs. I am available at all times to provide reliable pet care whenever required. My flat offers enough space for dogs to play and move around comfortably. I am dedicated to providing constant care and attention to ensure the well-being of all pets in my care. My friend has trusted me to babysit her Pomeranian in my flat for a long period of time, demonstrating my reliability and the safe, welcoming environment I provide.

Xanthé S.
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Xanthe! She recently looked after my beloved dog, George, and the experience was nothing short of perfect. Honestly - George is getting on a bit now so I am always a little apprehensive when I choose a new sitter but she was so kind and genuinely took the time to understand mine and George’s needs right away. Throughout George’s stay, I had regular updates so I knew he was in safe hands. One of the things that stood out to me was Xanthe's professionalism. She is always punctual, so organised, and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. I wholeheartedly recommend he Xanthe to anyone in need of a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. Thank you Xanthe, I will definitely be in touch again!”
Filomena T.

Tanjira A.
“Tanjira (Ploy) and I know each other over four years here in London. We’ve become closer because I always leave my Pomeranian with her when I have long hours of work or travelling. I trust her that she can take care of dogs very well. We also love to walk my dog together in our free time. Every time we go for a walk together, I can see firsthand how much Ploy genuinely cares for their well-being to make sure that my Pomeranian is safe, happy, and enjoying their time outdoors. Beyond our walks, I have also had the opportunity to witness Ploy’s unwavering dedication to dogs. The genuine love and care she demonstrate in everyday interactions are truly heartwarming. It is evident that Ploy’s love for dogs extends far beyond her own, as she treat every furry friend she encounter with the same warmth and kindness. She really has great passion for dogs. Therefore I have the utmost trust and confidence in Ploy’s ability to provide excellent care for any dogs.”
