About: We (Emily & Ed) have experience taking care of lots of different dogs. We have had dogs in the family, and often look after dogs for friends. We take the responsibility seriously, and make sure that the dogs are looked after in the same way as in their own home. We always make time for enough walks and play time, with lots of fuss and attention too! We work from home and can ensure that between us we can give dogs the time needed for walks, etc. We can generally be available around any holidays or other absences. We have a good-sized secure garden with decent fencing. Nearby there are lots of areas for walks away from busy roads. Our house is roomy so that any visitors can feel comfortable in their own space, with no children or other pets living there.

“We were delighted to find a ‘home from home’ for Pippin with Claire and Marlow. Claire was attentive, thorough in her questions and care and very proactive making Pippin feel comfortable in her dog friendly home. We will definitely be making another booking!”

About: I grew up on a farm, always surrounded by animals — from cats and dogs to chickens, horses, and cows — so caring for animals has been a natural part of my life from an early age. As an adult, I’ve shared my home with three cats and my dog Zeb, mentioned earlier, and I truly enjoy the companionship and care that pets bring. I’m currently on a career break, when this finishes I have some weekdays and every other weekend off and am available as the calendar will show. I don’t have a garden and my house is secure and safe for animals. Whilst I’m out walking your dog I will not let them off the lead unless I’m comfortable and you have told me they have good recall.

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, I bring both passion and expertise to every animal I look after. I’ve raised puppies from their very first steps, supported dogs through different life stages, and developed strong skills in training, socialising, and exercising dogs of all breeds and temperaments. From daily walks and playtime to tailored care routines, I understand that every pet has unique needs and deserves patience, consistency, and love. My goal is always to keep tails wagging, paws happy, and owners reassured that their pets are in safe, caring hands. Working from home means I can give pets the time and attention they need throughout the day and night. Whether it’s a cuddle on the sofa, a walk in the fresh air, or simply being a calm presence, I’m here whenever they need company. I’m available 7 days a week, day or night, so you can feel confident knowing your pet will never be left without care, comfort, or companionship. understand that every pet — and every owner — has their own way of doing things, and I’m always happy to adapt to whatever routine makes your pet feel most comfortable. With a large, secure garden for safe play and exercise, I can offer plenty of space for dogs to enjoy the outdoors. If you prefer, I can also provide crate time as part of their routine, and I’ll always fit my schedule around your pet’s needs — whether that’s meal times, walks, or quiet time. My goal is to make sure your pet feels right at home, cared for in the way that suits them best.

“Nicole and Brad are absolutely wonderful. Harvey had the best day, was well taken care of, and didn't want to leave! They were also very flexible with our schedule, and fit us in at last minute. We'll definitely be scheduling time with them again.”

“Emily and Scott are a super couple. Tabu spent 12 hours with them in their lovely home and didn’t want to leave. They are doggy friendly and have made their home very welcoming to dogs and their owners. I can’t recommend highly enough and we will definitely be back. Already looking at our diaries to ensure Tabu can stay there again!! Thank you both.”

“Our dog was happy to see Jing and was happy when we collected her, which is always a good sign. We had messages and a photo update. Jing was able to accommodate a relatively short notice request, which was very helpful for us when other plans changed. Pleased as ever with Jing”

About: First and foremost, I’m an animal lover and always have been! I am fully licensed and insured, and have lots of experience dog sitting. I began by caring for three dogs (two standard poodles and a cockapoo) at age 16-17. I lived at the owner’s house for up to two weeks at a time across a period of two years. I now have experience caring for lots of different breeds, temperaments and ages (ranging from chihuahuas to German Shepards!) I also owned a miniature schnauzer for 14 years, which included doing all his training, walks, feeding, grooming etc. I absolutely love cuddling and spending time in the company dogs, but am equally comfortable taking them on long walks and going on adventures! I really miss having the companionship that a dog offers, so would love to have a four-legged friend in the house again. I sponsor a dog at the Dogs Trust, and have previously volunteered at my local centre, Evesham. I can take the dog/dogs for two walks a day, as well as regular playing and enrichment in the garden! I want your dog to feel at home with me. I have a fenced medium-sized garden, and there are fields just a 3-minute walk from my home. Dogs will very rarely be left alone in the house.

“Fedra was a lovely friendly person to meet. She looked after my dog well with lots of understanding and affection as my dog can get quite anxious. Would recommend! Location is great too if you're visiting Edinburgh city centre :)”

About: I’m a long-time dog lover and proud owner of Orla, our friendly and playful 2-year-old dog. She loves having other dogs around and is great at sharing, never protective over food, toys, or attention. Caring for Orla since adopting her has taught us so much about building trust, creating a calm and positive environment, and understanding the different needs of every dog. We’ve also looked after friends’ dogs of various breeds and temperaments, so we’re experienced with everything from confident social pups to those who need a gentler approach. Whether your dog loves playtime, belly rubs, or quiet naps, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, enrichment, and care tailored to their personality. I work a flexible schedule that allows me to be home during the day, which means your dog will get lots of supervision and companionship. Morning walks, lunchtime play sessions, and afternoon cuddle breaks are all part of our daily routine. I only take a small number of dogs at a time so I can give each one my full attention and ensure everyone feels comfortable and cared for. We live in a quiet home with a secure, fenced 100m² garden, perfect for supervised outdoor play, zoomies and potty breaks. Inside, dogs can enjoy a cozy, clean space with soft blankets and plenty of toys. I always keep fresh water available, plenty of healthy snacks (only if your dog is allowed them!) and provide photo updates throughout the day so you can see how they’re doing. Orla is gentle, friendly, and used to sharing her space, making her a great companion for visiting dogs.

“We had a fantastic experience with Lauren, who took care of Baxter, for day care over three days. She was incredibly flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which made things so much easier for us. Baxter clearly had a great time, and we loved receiving updates to see how he was getting on. We were very impressed with the care and attention Lauren provided, and we’d be more than happy to have her look after Baxter again in the future. Highly recommended!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for and training a variety of breeds, including my friends spaniel whom I lived with for two years who initially struggled with pulling on the lead and misbehaving at home. Through patience, consistency, and positive training techniques, I was able to improve their behavior and create a calmer, happier companion. I’ve also successfully trained a rescue beagle, a sprocker, and a cocker, giving me valuable insight into different temperaments and needs. Whilst I have my own profession, looking after dogs and having a walking companion is a perfect distraction from working life. New to Rover but established positive reviews on BorrowMyDoggy app. What sets me apart is my dedication to creating a calm and structured environment where dogs can feel comfortable, learn, and thrive. I’ve done extensive research into dog training methods and use my natural patience to build a strong, trusting bond with each dog—helping them adapt, develop, and enhance their existing skills. With access to beautiful walking fields and a spacious home and garden, I can offer dogs both mental stimulation and plenty of exercise in a safe and enriching setting. As a long haul airline pilot, I can be away for days at a time but home for days at a time too giving me blocks of days to enjoy home life without work interruptions. Sadly due to my job, I couldn’t own a dog by myself so I’ve invested my energy into dog care for my days off. I have a nice medium-small garden for outside sitting during nice days and am only a 3 min walk to the beautiful fields surrounding my place. Dogs will follow any rules that their owners set for them at home to prevent any naughty behaviours from developing that could be confusing to the dog. If a dog owner doesn’t allow their dog on the sofa, then I will ensure the dog doesn’t go on the sofa whilst in my care as an example.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since age of 10. From hand rearing baby bunnies, feeding ducks, chicken and kittens to puppies to all grown up cats she dogs even feeding baby cows I just love animals. Happy to help where I can. I currently work at a local medical practice 3 days a week part time so can fit in on my days off and come before and after work. I work part time 3 short days a week with 4 out of 7 days off it fits in pretty easy. I always make it work. I have 3 children who just love animals aswell sometimes they like to come with me and help me with walking fussing and feeding under my supervision but they know on occasions they can’t if your furry friend is not overly keen on children. As I work in healthcare I’m fully dbs checked also.

“Lana cared for our old boy Tsar for a full day today and we felt very confident that he was in good hands. He was very happy when we got home. Thank you”
