“Melissa is an exceptional dog sitter. She took the time to meet Rocky and us beforehand, showing great attentiveness. We entrusted her with Rocky overnight, and she cared for him wonderfully. We now feel confident leaving him with her for a more extended stay. We recommend her services to anyone needing a reliable and loving dog sitter.”


“Thais and Marina were fantastic. They looked after Orzo for 2 days and 2 nights and from what we can tell, he had a great time. Thais and Marina were also very good at keeping us up to date with pictures. We will definitely be asking them to look after him again!”


“Jacob looked after our Samoyed Casper whilst we were away on holiday. Casper was very well looked after, he was clearly very happy and settled when we picked him up and had bonded with Jacob. Jacob sent us regular picture and video updates and took Casper for nice long walks. We would definitely recommend Jacob for dog care!”


“Giulia is the first person I’ve trusted with my little man. From start to finish, Giulia has been wonderful. Lots of updates, photos and her all round care just excellent. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“As always, Gaza had a great time with Gabriella. Booking is easy, regular picture updates throughout boarding period and he absolutely loves staying with her. Gabriella is definitely our 1st choice dog sitter. We will use her services again and again x”


“Rosie was brilliant with our dog Bunni. We was very apprehensive at first as Bunni is a really nervous dog especially around new people but we was reassured straight away with Rosie. We was kept updated with pictures and videos too which helped relax us aswell. Rosie also went out of her way to pick up something for Bunni which hadn’t arrived in time. Already looking to book Rosie in again! Thank you so much”


“Louise was absolutely amazing with my Cavalier King Charles Tao. I would not hesitate to rebook with Louise she genuinely cares for dogs and she was so lovely with mine - patient, calm and welcoming. A home away from home. Thank you Louise! You are a gem”


About: Hi, I'm Helen! My partner, Brandon, and I have been dog parents to our cocker spaniel, Loretta, since 2023 and have loved every minute of it. We both grew up with dogs so we jumped at the first opportunity to adopt one of our own and have loved exploring London with Loretta. We live in a large 3 bedroom flat within a 5 minute walk of Vauxhall Park where we go for walks every day. We also love going to nearby Larkhall Park and Battersea Park so Loretta can run around with other dogs (her favourite activity). We both have hybrid work schedules so can be flexible working from home to make sure one or both of us is always home with the dogs. It would be great to know your dog's specific needs, habits, and things you may be working on with them so we can make sure they have a comfortable, happy stay with us! Additionally, we are happy to meet up ahead of time so Loretta has a chance to meet your pup and we can chat before we look after them. Having trained Loretta through the various puppy stages we are very comfortable with puppies of all ages! We both have hybrid work schedules so can be flexible working from home to make sure one or both of us is always home with the dogs.

“Isabella and her husband Kaue did a very good job looking after my dog Robin. The guys have always been very responsive, engaged and caring. It feels like Robin was taken good care of, Isabella and Kaue never missed a day to send us some pictures and videos. I would highly recommend this couple and will be getting back myself next time we need help with our boy. Thank you, guys <3”


“Kayeon was absolutely amazing with my dog, Ricotta, who has separation anxiety and can be quite protective over her food. She was so attentive and patient, and really went above and beyond to make sure Ricotta felt safe and comfortable. Kayeon handled all the little quirks and challenges that even I sometimes worry about as her owner — and did it all with such calm and care. She kept me constantly updated with photos and videos, which really helped put my mind at ease. Ricotta got plenty of walks, love, and attention, and I could tell she was in great hands. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”


“Senia was amazing with Ice. This was the longest trip I’ve had away from him and she kept me updated on how he was and sent regular photos. She was also really easy to communicate with and sent speedy responses! Would definitely recommend using Senia, thanks again!”


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.

“Niamh is a confident dog keeper and from the beginning I could see that she have lived with dogs all her life and knows what to do. From the first minute her communication with Arya was excellent. I have already booked a second stay for Arya with Niamh and I strongly believe that my girl is going to enjoy her stay.”


“Kanika is an amazing carer who you can trust 100%. I reached out to her 1.5 days before we were due to go on holiday after a friend had last-minute plans and cancelled on us. She met with us right away, and her care, love, warmth and excitement towards being around dogs were already apparent from our first interaction. Throughout the time she (and her great boyfriend who I understand also helped w him) had Rio, she sent constant updates and photos, and took care of him in such an excellent way, going above and beyond in every way - she even bought him a chew toy to play with. She also cooked him chicken when his stomach was upset (even though she is a vegetarian!!). Rio was smitten and had he best time ever, he was searching for her back at our flat shortly after coming home. It is very clear that Kanika loves dogs, and is a truly lovely soul who becomes a friend / parent to them as she takes care of them. We hope to have her in Rio's life in the future as well! Thank you so much Kanika!!”


“Lorraine was great! She was lovely and so caring, and kept me updating about Archie. Archie was comfortable with her straight away and didn’t want to leave! He was sulking as soon as I picked him up. I would definitely recommend and use Lorraine again to look after my pooch.”


About: Dogs have been part of my life for over 20 years, from puppies to seniors, chihuahuas to labradors. They’ve always been family to me, not just pets! Since moving out of my family home, I’ve really missed having a dog around. My partner (who’s just as mad about dogs) and I have the time, space, and attention to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and genuinely loved, just as if they were our own! I am very flexible with my working patterns, and can choose to work from home most days. I don't spend much time in meetings, which means I can pop out to take your pup to the loo or for a bit of exercise at any time. I live next to my office, and can bring social dogs into work with me, if human interaction is something your dog enjoys. I spend my weekends out and about, walking around London. I enjoy spending time outdoors, and would love a dog to keep me company! I live in a flat with an enclosed balcony and a lift, so can accommodate less mobile dogs. I have green space next to my flat for bathroom breaks, and have lots of experience walking dogs on and off the lead. I believe that dogs deserve to be just as comfortable at home as I am, so am happy with pets on the sofa. I have a clean and safe home, and keep the space free from any hazards. I will only mark myself as 'available' on days where I will be able to watch your pup at all times - no popping out for an hour or two without them! I understand how hard it is to leave your loved one in the care of someone else, so I am more than happy to communicate with you throughout the day, sending pictures and pupdates!
