“Kwan and family looked after my dog Sue for a week. I have nothing but positive things to say and would 100% recommend, she cared and treated Sue like her own and having regular photo updates while I was away was great! ☺️ 🐶 x”
“Bruna and family were so great with Cosmo! I got regular updates and videos which made me feel really reassured. He came home after such an active day a very happy chap. Highly recommend, so flexible and would 100% send Cosmo there again. Thank-you so much!”
“I was terrified of sending my rescue cat for boarding as he had never been away from his home in the 7 years he has been with me. He is an indoors-outdoors cat who has access to his cat flap at any time. Very shy with humans and friendly to other cats. And not used to be kept indoors. Vivian’s cat room is perfect, with a large bay window, shelves for the cat to climb upon, corners to hide if nervous and plenty of space to roam around. Vivian did an amazing job with my cat, being very patient to give him confidence and feel comfortable in the new surroundings and with new people. She gave him plenty of cuddles and reassurance throughout the stay. And monitored his food and drink intake as well as his litter use. Vivian also introduced him to their really sweet and cute kitten to give him a playmate. Vivian kept me updated throughout with pictures, videos and reported on his progress. I could not have dreamt of a better place and better couple to keep my cat safe, happy and comfortable during my absence. I would not hesitate to recommend Vivian’s services for boarding and will happily use again when required in future.”
“I would highly recommend Nicole to look after your pet. Nicole provided lots of pictures and updates and as this was the first time leaving my puppy this provided me with lots of reassurance. Connie loved staying with Nicole and without a doubt I will be asking Nicole to look after Connie again. 🥰”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have always been involved in caring for them. My family owned Staffordshire Bull Terriers, so I’m very comfortable handling energetic, strong, and affectionate dogs while understanding the importance of routine, patience, and attention. Now, I have my own French Bulldog with my partner, who is completely spoilt rotten and loved to bits. Caring for him daily has given me hands-on experience with feeding routines, walks, playtime, companionship, and making sure dogs feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I genuinely love dogs of all breeds and personalities, and I’ll always treat your dog as if they were my own, with plenty of care, affection, and attention. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine as I work during the week and have weekends free to fully focus on caring for dogs. This gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, attention, and making sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well looked after. Dogs will always receive lots of love, care, and company while they’re with me. I’ll make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and right at home with me. I have a secure gated garden where dogs can safely play and enjoy some fresh air, and they’ll always get plenty of attention, care, and cuddles. I’ve grown up around dogs all my life and now have my own French Bulldog, so I’m very used to daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure dogs feel happy and settled. I’ll always follow any routines or instructions you provide so your dog gets the best care possible while they’re with me.
“Absolutely incredible, not only does she take incredible care of your dog and treats them as her own, she also offers pick ups and drop offs for an additional charge which is extremely handy. I got sent a tonne of pictures and videos throughout my dogs stay and he looked incredibly happy. Despite max never have been away from me before overnight he settled extremely well. Would highly recommend and thank you again, Max will definitely miss you and his new furry friend 🐾”

“This is Kittys second home, she is so well looked after and enjoys being treated as part of the family. We feel so confident and comfortable going away knowing she is in such good hands. Absolutely first class in every way.”
“Bruce had the most amazing time with Chrissie and Ol! He was so sad to come home and wasn’t even that excited to see us when we picked him up - which just shows how happy and settled he was with them. It’s such a lovely feeling knowing he was so well cared for and having the best time while we were away. The photos and updates we received were really appreciated and made us feel reassured that Bruce was happy and enjoying himself. I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter and would highly recommend Chrissie to anyone looking for someone kind, caring and trustworthy to look after their pet. Thank you again for taking such great care of our boy! 🐾 x”
About: I have looked after a wide range of animals for family and friends for most of my life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and find it incredibly rewarding to care for them and ensure they are happy, safe, and well looked after. I have a friendly, well-socialised dog who loves to play and spend time with other dogs. He also enjoys being around cats, although they don't always share his enthusiasm! I I recently resigned from a high-pressure role to focus on improving my work-life balance and overall well-being. I believe there is no better way to do that than by spending time caring for animals, especially dogs. I genuinely enjoy being around them and find working with animals both rewarding and fulfilling. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely play and relax. I also have a friendly little dog who enjoys the company of other dogs and is well-socialised. In addition, I live close to several recreation parks and woodland areas, providing plenty of opportunities for enjoyable walks, exercise, and outdoor exploration.
“Karolina looked after my very nervous cat and naughty chihuahua when I was moving house. I was quite apprehensive but Karolina immediately put me at ease when I dropped them off and she welcomed the pets. She knew exactly what to do to calm them down and I left feeling reassured they were in good hands. She sent me some cute photos of them during the day and they looked perfectly comfortable. I would definitely go back to her and would recommend her.”
“Beverley was so welcoming and made us feel confident in leaving our dog for the first time . Duncan, Beverley's dog was so cute, bith digs got on really well. Wouldn't hesitate to use again and would recommend to friends and family.”
“Cosmo had such a great day with Emily! I was kept up-to-date with photos etc and it was clear Cosmo was having a blast - he was absolutely wiped out after, and I got a bit of peace in the evening! He was having too much fun during the day :) 10/10 would 100% recommend Emily and will definitely send Cosmo again.”
“Rosie had a wonderful stay with Annabelle such a lovely caring kind person she looked after Rosie like one of her own spoilt rotten even sleeping on the bed ! Keeping her safe and plenty of walks , cuddles + love what more can u ask for and plenty of updates. Rosie was really happy when my son picked her up . I would highly recommend.”
“I can't recommend joyce enough! She looked after my puppy at very short notice, and I was so grateful for her help. She was kind, reliable, and made sure my puppy was well cared for and happy. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my puppy was in such good hands. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Our Frenchie has had as good a time as us on holiday Great communication with Wes, did prior dog walks and stay over to ensure our Frenchie fitted in with Wes’s lovely pair of Frenchies. Wes kept us updated with pictures and allowed us to relax whilst on holiday. Would highly recommend Wes as a dog boarder and will definitely be using Wes again. 🐶”

About: I originally got my first 2 cats when they was just 2 weeks old they was left orphaned after their mum sadly passed away so me & my then partner took them & bottle fed them up until they was ready for kitten food. One of them had a sore eye that she struggled to open so we bathed her eye until it was all better. They got neutered, flead, wormed & microchipped by the cats protection. I lost my girl may last year as she'd gone into remission after having diabetes but then (& I was told this could happen) she had a relapse & sadly she passed away. I still have her brother who unfortunately has hyperthyroidism but that is well controlled through his medication. His sister didn't quite make 12 & my male cat is 13 years old now. I feed them 3 times a day, morning, afternoon & evening, I do their cat litter trays daily so clear away any faeces, top up with fresh litter & change all of their water bowls to fresh water. I have a 7 year old cat whom I got from a friend who'd just found out she was pregnant and then my original stray cat who I have homed for around 10 years. All of them have their own little characters & ways of eating, sleeping etc. I administered insulin for my diabetic cat & also administer thyronorm for my male cat who has hyperthyroidism. Although I have worked in many different animal environments like kennels, dog groomers & dogs trust my actual experience with my own cats is just over 13 years.
“Isla has taken amazing care of our three cats. Her love for animals is clear to see, she has established a great connection with them in a short space of time through her empathy, calming pressece and kindness. Isla's profile stood out straight away and after learning about her own pets we were confident she could support the needs of our elderly cat. Isla has done an amazing job and we look forward to her visiting again. Thank you Isla!”
“Pui is a brilliant cat sitter. I booked her for daily visits while I was away. She sent me videos of my cats progress and my cat was well looked after while I was away. Trust worthy cat sitter! I will be booking again 🥰”
About: I’ve grown up around cats my whole life 🐱 and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for different personalities—from independent cats to more affectionate ones. I understand their routines, boundaries, and how to keep them comfortable in their own space. I’m confident with feeding 🍽️, litter cleaning, playtime 🎾, and giving them attention at their own pace ❤️ My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away 🏡🐾
About: I’m a dedicated cat sitter with over 14 years of experience working with animals and 8 years as a qualified veterinary nurse. I also have my own personal experience caring for cats, so I understand their unique personalities, routines, and need for a calm, familiar environment. I provide gentle, compassionate care tailored to each cat, whether they’re confident and playful or shy and anxious. I also understand how worrying it can be to leave your cat when you go on holiday, and I aim to give you complete peace of mind through reliable visits, attentive care, and regular updates while you’re away.
“Kat did an amazing job looking after our 2 cats for a week. One of them needed daily medication but that was not an issue at all for her. Both our cats looked very happy and healthy when we returned as if we hadn’t been away at all. We also got cute daily updates which we really appreciated. Highly recommended 😻 Thank you again Kat x”
“I cannot begin to explain just how happy and grateful I am to this beautiful and caring couple. Its the first time we have left our cat with anyone and was so nervous about doing so but from the very first time we took her to meet them it was clear how professional and caring they are. Also it was such a beautiful touch sending pictures and videos daily of them all playing and it allowed us to enjoy our trip much more knowing our baby is so happy back home. To say I would highly recommend them is such an under statement because booking trips away for us now can be done with no worries at all knowing miso will be happy too.”
“Its the 2nd time ive used Indiana, shes great with the cats, she keeps in touch well and provides really good updates and pictures which I love to see when im away. I definitely recommend and will continue to use her when im away. X”
“Rebecca took excellent care of my three cats. She always reassured me that everything was fine and regularly sent photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease. I’m very grateful for her care and would highly recommend her. Thank you! 🐾”
“As usual Jane took care of my two horrors. I am pretty sure they were upset when I reappeared today rather than Jane. I didn’t have to worry about them at all. I can’t recommend this lady enough!”

About: About 20 years ago, our family got two miniature Schnauzers and I've been a dog lover ever since! Now that I've moved out and now live with my fiancee (Raissa, pictured) we miss having the company of dogs and before we get one of our own would like to trial having them in our lives on a more short term basis. We both work from home, so can have someone at home at all hours of the day. We have no children in the house and a secure garden. We have recent experience of looking after dogs for weeks at a time and know lots of good walks near our home too! Ideally looking for smaller hypoallergenic dogs, but would be open to other breeds. We both work full time for the same company with one office day required per week which we do on Weds and Thursday - so someone is always at home every week day. Generally we'd be able to take the dog out in the morning before work, at lunch, after work and evening if required. We have a back garden which is fenced and leads onto a quiet avenue. Generally keep dogs on lead until I can build up trust that it will come back on command. Will be cautious around other dogs without avoiding them and allowing social time when we've built up confidence. Love cuddles and playing in the house but won't allow dogs on the bed or the sofa without covers.
About: I look after any dog like it’s my own! Walk love and lots of fun! Happy to look after dogs any age medium breed! That’s playful and happy to be around another active dog. Free to sit most week days and weekends! I work dog walking for we love pets but can work anything around this. I will stay at your accommodation or they can board at my house as long as your dog is okay with other dogs! Happy for them to stay with me within a home environment with no crates. Daily walks and exercise or just chilling at home. I have my own cocker called Lili who is good with other dogs and very playful! I have a secure garden and with lots local walks.
“Piggy had a great time with Caitlin and Jak for doggy day care! Communication was great prior to the booking and they were accommodating to her needs. We would be more than happy to rebook in the future 💕🐾”
About: Hi! We’re Tee and Bradley, a dog-loving couple based in the North West. We recently lost our beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniel after 16 wonderful years, and while we’re not ready for another dog of our own just yet, we’ve been caring for other people’s pups through Borrow My Doggy so have plenty of experience with looking after others dogs - not just our own! Due to the fact we’ve looked after our own older dog, we are used to medication routines, more gentle days however we’ve also got experience looking after puppies as young as six months so can help continue any training and keeping them occupied so they don’t chew all the furniture!! We have done days, weekends and even 10 day stays with these dogs and we truly care for them like they are our own - loved by our entire family and friends! We both work flexibly and spend a lot of time at home, so your dog will always get plenty of attention, cuddles, and company. We’re comfortable with all breeds and temperaments, from playful puppies to senior sweethearts, and treat every dog as if they’re our own. Whether you need day care, overnight stays, or just someone who truly gets how special your dog is, we’d love to help. 🐕💛 Both myself and my partner work from home, therefore one of us is always in - usually both of us! As we’ve had Lacey the entire time we’ve lived in our house, and I’d had her since I was 10, our lives are more than adapted to having a dog, we can fit numerous walks in, plenty of cuddle time and your dog has full roam of the place! We do go out - of course - but almost everywhere we go is dog friendly (including our gym!) so your pup will be with us! We can adapt around your pups schedule as we are fairly laid back, plus we have plenty of parents and grandparents who we go visiting with your pooch giving them even more love We have a lovely two bed terraced house which has a small enclosure garden space, however we are surrounded by farmers fields, forests and a canal! We also have a huge field right across the road so in between meetings I try to take the dogs for a runaround on there and then we’ll do a bigger walk around one of the many options we have! Depending on what your dog prefers we’ll decide where to take them - all of our walks are primarily off road. We have a ring camera inside our living room for if we ever did leave your dog alone (if this was agreed) which we’d be more than happy to share with yourselves for peace of mind - again we had this from when we had our elderly girl so we could always get back if she needed us We both adore dogs, they will get the most amount of love, all the dogs we look after I send daily updates to their owners, with pictures, what they’ve done that day and any other information if I feel they need to know (upset stomachs, etc) We know what it’s like to have to leave your dog and the worry, so we try to just give the best peace of mind, we’ll have a phone call before the dog sit so we can run through all of the needs of your dog and we also have a slight “template” of a doc (one we used for lacey) which we can send you to fill out with all the information!

I hold a level 1 degree in animal management and I’ve directly worked on a farm with many different breeds and temperaments (including working dogs and guard dogs).

All pets in my care get treated like my own consistency, kindness and respect. I can follow routines whatever they may be, and I’m extremely reliable and communicative. I’m comfortable with every breed and personality! I keep updates consistent so you always know how your pet is and what they are doing so your never wondering what’s happening. Looking after other people’s pets fits really naturally into my weekly routine. I already have structured daily routines so adding walks, drop-ins or care for your pets is easy for me to integrate without rushing or cutting corners. I stay consistent, organised and present so your pet gets calm, relaxed care every single time. My dogs get walked twice a day and have plenty of active playtime in the garden in between. I also use enrichment + puzzle games daily to give them mental stimulation, problem solving and calm focus so it’s not just physical exercise it’s balanced brain work to. When they aren’t in play or training they nap and decompress.

About: I have a huge passion for animals ever since I was a little girl. The dog I have at home is a husky x Broder collie so I'm no stranger to long walks and hours and hours of play time. He has a lot of energy that needs to go somewhere. I have brought him up to be a very social dog and we just love to stop off and have a chat with the next dog walker that comes long. Even if it's just a hi. I like to think of myself as a friendly and competent person who can handle any type of situation. I love long walks and seeing the happiness on dogs faces when they are having such a great time in the open air.

“Bruce had the most amazing time with Chrissie and Ol! He was so sad to come home and wasn’t even that excited to see us when we picked him up - which just shows how happy and settled he was with them. It’s such a lovely feeling knowing he was so well cared for and having the best time while we were away. The photos and updates we received were really appreciated and made us feel reassured that Bruce was happy and enjoying himself. I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter and would highly recommend Chrissie to anyone looking for someone kind, caring and trustworthy to look after their pet. Thank you again for taking such great care of our boy! 🐾 x”
About: I have looked after a wide range of animals for family and friends for most of my life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and find it incredibly rewarding to care for them and ensure they are happy, safe, and well looked after. I have a friendly, well-socialised dog who loves to play and spend time with other dogs. He also enjoys being around cats, although they don't always share his enthusiasm! I I recently resigned from a high-pressure role to focus on improving my work-life balance and overall well-being. I believe there is no better way to do that than by spending time caring for animals, especially dogs. I genuinely enjoy being around them and find working with animals both rewarding and fulfilling. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely play and relax. I also have a friendly little dog who enjoys the company of other dogs and is well-socialised. In addition, I live close to several recreation parks and woodland areas, providing plenty of opportunities for enjoyable walks, exercise, and outdoor exploration.
“Cosmo had such a great day with Emily! I was kept up-to-date with photos etc and it was clear Cosmo was having a blast - he was absolutely wiped out after, and I got a bit of peace in the evening! He was having too much fun during the day :) 10/10 would 100% recommend Emily and will definitely send Cosmo again.”
“Rosie had a wonderful stay with Annabelle such a lovely caring kind person she looked after Rosie like one of her own spoilt rotten even sleeping on the bed ! Keeping her safe and plenty of walks , cuddles + love what more can u ask for and plenty of updates. Rosie was really happy when my son picked her up . I would highly recommend.”
“Our Frenchie has had as good a time as us on holiday Great communication with Wes, did prior dog walks and stay over to ensure our Frenchie fitted in with Wes’s lovely pair of Frenchies. Wes kept us updated with pictures and allowed us to relax whilst on holiday. Would highly recommend Wes as a dog boarder and will definitely be using Wes again. 🐶”
“Antony was responsive, reliable and easy to communicate with throughout. He was very accommodating to our schedule and my girls needs, which made the whole (first ever) experience of leaving my girl, stress free. I felt confident my dog was in great hands and would happily, and highly, recommend him. Our girl is rarely excluded from family adventures; this occasion was an unforseen need, however, should the need ever present itself again, I would not hesitate to reach out to Anthony in confidence my girl would be in very safe hands.”
About: My mum has always had an irrational fear of dogs so have never had the honour to own one myself until I moved away from home. Growing up I have often dog sat for my godparents who have 2 beautiful miniature schnauzers and my neighbours Jack Russell. Since I was 19, I was using borrow my doggy to get experience with different dog breeds and learn the needs of each pup. I work full time primarily working from home with the odd day on site. I love spending time outdoors especially now with my cocker spaniel pup! I have a 3 bed house with a wrap around fenced garden for your pup to roam around in. I don’t allow any pets upstairs so should your pup stay overnight, they need to be okay sleeping downstairs. As I have a dog of my own, I do not take on non-neutered male dogs and they must get along well with other dogs.
“This is the first time we have left our dog so we were anxious about it but Mike was very welcoming and reassuring. He sent us daily updates with photos, our dog Hudson went on lots of long walks. We will definitely rebook.”
“Sandra looked after Storm for an evening and Storm had a great time and settled in so quickly with her and her partner. I got lots of videos and photos which helped put my mind at ease that Storm was having a great time. Storm can be unsure of new people, but Sandra agreed to a pre meet and also made sure she asked lots of questions so she knew how to best look after Strom. Storm also had a day visit with Sandra and her partner for a walk and had a great time. Thanks so much!”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for Willow. I don’t leave her very often, so I was naturally quite anxious, but James put me completely at ease from the start. Willow seemed to feel at home as soon as she walked through the door. James treated her as if she were his own, giving her plenty of love, attention, cuddles and treats throughout her stay. I received lots of photo updates, which was so reassuring, and it was clear from the pictures that she was having the best time. When I collected her, she was so comfortable and settled that she happily carried on playing while I chatted with James about her stay, which says it all really! I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Willow with James again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and genuine dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of her! 🐾❤️”
“Our dog had a lovely stay with Lauren and family and we could relax knowing that he was in a great home environment. He bonded with Lauren's dog and it was great knowing that we were leaving him with someone who clearly loves dogs! We got lots of photo and video updates which showed him having a great holiday! Thank you for taking such good care of him!”
“Highly recommended, such a nice couple who gave my German Shepherd all the love she needs and more. Great with communication and quick replies, I felt very relaxed knowing she was being so well looked after. Thanks Becky”
“Wow, what a wonderful guy. Nothing was too much trouble, kept us updated with photos and the map route of his walks. You can just tell his adores dogs and they are in great hands with Francis. We will have no hesitation in using his service in the future. Once again thank you so much for looking after Miller for us so that we could enjoy our daughters wedding without any worries 👍”
