“Katie is such a great person and was so welcoming, friendly, calm and positive about having my dog for the weekend. I knew Bella was in safe hands and could really enjoy my trip knowing that Bella was well looked after and happy. I would highly recommend Katie for anyone else who is thinking of going away and needs someone to look after their dog!”
“Rachel helped us out last minute when our original plans fell through. Our dog, Maple, had a brilliant time and it was great to get lots of pictures and video of her throughout her time at Rachel’s.”
“Your little ones will be in great hands with Natalie and her little dog Lilo, who made fast friends with Luna, making her feel at ease immediately. Natalie kept us well informed throughout the stay and took Luna on a lovely walk. Recommend 100%. Thanks again 🙌🏻”
“We would have given Joyce 6 stars if we could :-) From our first contact through Rover.com Joyce has been very helpful, even providing coaching on how best to use the site. Our boys are 6 years old and this was the first time they have stayed with away form home. Joyce was brilliant with the boys and us. Joyce's communications before and during the visit we excellent and the boys were very well looked after by Joyce and her lovely family in their beautiful home. I cannot rate Joyce highly enough and would fully recommend Joyce to anyone seeking a caring environment for their cherished pets.”
“I can not thank Mark and Helen enough. I was nervous about leaving Lola although she has been with home boarding before it was her first time with them. I had no need to worry Lola was cared for and looked after as it was there own dog. Plenty of updates throughout Lolas stay I would definitely recommend Mark and will definitely be using there services again. Thank you Mark and Helen for looking after Lola.”
“Lucy was absolutely brilliant with Milo. I had daily messages as ro how he was behavingand getting on, which was very reassuring. .I would definately arrange to rebook with Lucy with absolute cinfidence”
“Lisa and her partner went above and beyond for our pup Darwin. Darwin was only 12.5 weeks at the time, and it was during a heatwave! Lisa and her partner went out of their way to buy a paddling pool and cooling mat for Darwin. Lisa provided 24hr care, and was very reassuring to my partner and I whilst caring for Darwin. Would definetly rebook!”
“Willow had a lovely time with Beth and Dan and their red fox lab Darcy. Willow is a very bouncy 5 month old working cocker spaniel and I was concerned she would be too annoying. However, it seems that Darcy and Willow had a lovely time playing and the photos and videos they sent showed willow looking quite calm at times which is rare! Beth and Dan have had lots of experience with many breeds of dogs and put my mind at ease when we visited for a meet and greet. I would happily have Willow stay with them again as I know she’d have a great time.”
“We did a short meet and greet before the sit and on the day of the sit Poppy was very happy to see Mel again, bounding in to say hello with a very waggy tail. She had a lovely time with Mel and I suspect had far more attention than she gets at home. Mel paid careful attention to all the information I gave her about Poppy and provided lots of photos and updates during the sit. Highly recommend”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life, sadly my most recent ones, Peggy the sausage and Ted the sprocker have both passed on in the last year. My kids are grown up now and I don’t want to commit just yet to getting another dog of my own so I’d be very happy to babysit other people’s furry friends! I live up a lane with access to lovely countryside walks, and also have a good sized garden for a bit of a run around. I have a soft spot for dachshunds so would love to have some little sausages staying over. I have experience of managing them carefully to protect their back. I’m not doing this as a money making exercise (although the extra cash is always handy) I just like having a dog around! I work from home mostly through the week so have good availability for day sitting. My office is downstairs and the house is open plan with access to the garden to be able to potter in and out. Weekends are pretty chill. I live near local countryside so lots of opportunity for walks. My house is spacious, clean and hazard free. It’s mostly me here with my grown up son in and out around his work so it’s calm and chilled and would suit most dogs. Sometimes my daughter is back from uni and she LOVES dogs so she’s always good for a play or a walk. My garden is a good size and is fully enclosed with a big area of grass to run around. Happy to have dogs over for day care, or overnight.
“Roz was so wonderful looking after our dogs and kindly took them quite last minute. As soon as we arrived at her house they were so excited and completely forgot about us. The dogs had a wonderful day and were so exhausted when we collected them, a great sign of a day well spent. It's a home away from home for them, thank you Roz”
“Nicola was so great with our nervous doggies. They were so happy and calm. Nicola’s house is lovely and clean and our little dog couldn’t get up to any mischief! They went on a long walk and were really calm when we got them home. Perfect day! I’ll be re booking..”

“Alex is an excellent petsitter and we’ve been really pleased with how she has looked after our two cats whilst we’ve been on holiday. Following an initial visit to meet us and the cats, Alex kept in regular touch and we were grateful of the updates and photos she provided. Overall, I would not hesitate in recommending Alex.”
“First time working with Daisy and she was brilliant looking after my anxious cat - she clearly calmed her down, and took lots of photos for me whilst we were away. Will definitely be coming back to her! Thanks so much 🙏”
“Couldn't be happier! Katie cared for our two girls with differing food / meds needs and gave wonderful updates with lots of photos each time, we could see that both cats were relaxed and happy. Katie obviously spent a good amount of time with them each visit and even did laundry after a couple of accidents to keep them in clean bedding. Happy cats!”
“Liz is great. She visited Fivey twice a day for a weekend and not only administered his injections, checked his food, water and litter but also spent time playing with him and giving him some company. Five took to Liz straightaway which is unusual. Very trustworthy and a thoughtful individual. Would recommend to look after any pet. Will be using Liz again”

“Shannon was fantastic looking after our very grumpy cat while we were away! She popped in every morning to feed him and sort the litter tray, and it was such a relief knowing he was being so well looked after. We really appreciated the updates, and, he was clearly very well cared for. Would definitely recommend Shannon to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.”
About: I've been surrounded by dogs my whole life. We got our first family dog when I was 15 and she became the best friend I needed at that time to get me out the house, play and lift me out of the teenage depression I was in at the time. Since then I have further cared for pooches for family and friends and in the past 5 years have completed house sits across the country for both dogs and cats as well as lived with a few more of them myself. Everywhere I go they keep appearing! People would describe me as gentle, sensitive and dedicated in my work. I am receptive to all of your pets needs and will take care of them wholeheartedly. When you hire me to look after your pet you can rest assured that they will be loved. I'm currently working part-time and flexibly so simply let me know your requirements and I'll get back to you ASAP. I charge a lot more for house sits due to consistent level of care and attention I provide. I ask the owner to provide clear instructions regarding any health and medical needs and anything out the usual. Unless indicated otherwise, I will always keep your dog on the lead, especially to begin with. If trust is developing well and recall is already in place then we can talk about offering more freedom on walks if that is what you would like.
About: I’ve always been a cat person - I have one of my own and honestly just love being around them. I’m super comfortable with all kinds of cats, whether they’re cuddly, shy, or somewhere in between. I know how important it is to make cats feel at ease, whether they love cuddles or prefer their own space. My priority is to make sure all cats feel happy and comfortable while you’re away!
About: Hi! My name is Dan, and I’m a passionate and reliable dog lover offering personalized dog walking, daycare, and boarding services. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I understand that every pup is unique and deserves loving, attentive care—whether it's a fun walk, a cozy overnight stay, or daily check-ins while you're away. Safety, comfort, and tail wags are my top priorities, and I treat every dog like part of my own family. I'm here to give you peace of mind and your dog a happy, stress-free experience! Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. Although I work full time, I have a flexible schedule and the ability to work from home several days a week, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. Whether it’s fitting in walks during lunch breaks, early morning drop-ins, or evening playtime and overnight stays, I’m able to plan my day around the needs of each dog. My flexible hours mean I can provide consistent, attentive care—even on short notice—while ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and well looked after. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a pet owner’s home, I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and loving environment that helps each animal feel comfortable and secure. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, relax, and receive one-on-one attention, along with regular walks and a consistent routine. When caring for pets in their own home, I stick closely to their usual schedule, feeding routines, and comfort habits to minimize stress and maintain their sense of normalcy. I always make sure to keep open communication with pet parents, providing regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I have grown up around cats my entire life, caring for both of my grandma’s beloved pets while they have traveled. Feeding, playing and even administering oral medication when needed. I understand how important routine and comfort are for cats so I prioritise: tailored attention (whether your cat is a cuddler or independent) , clean litter boxes, fresh water and portion controlled meals, and regular updates so you can relax knowing they are happy. Your cats safety and happiness are my top priorities, just like they were for my grandma’s furry family members!

“Stanley loved his stay at Danielle's - I think he has been missing being part of a group, my older dog passed and my daughter's dog moved out with her, so he enjoyed the company. Danielle is very knowledgeable about dogs and she is helpful in assessing and monitoring his recovery from an injury.”

Would highly recommended and book again for future trips. Thanks a million.”

“Wynne had an amazing first day with Lisa. She sent photos of him out on a walk, with a chew and playing with an interactive toy which he clearly loved. All communication was reassuring and Lisa responded promptly to questions. It was just so easy and she clearly knows a lot about German Shepherds and dog behaviours. We're booking him in with her again and it's a great relief to having such a great service available and a place where Wynne can go for a great day out and have fun.”

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life so have lots of love and experience with them. As soon as I was old enough I started walking dogs for my neighbours and since then have expanded out. I have lots of experience working with adolescent dogs (especially collies) and have handled many different sized breads including Irish wolf hounds. I’ve learnt how to handle them safely on and off lead in many different environments. I studied at Hartpury College for my A-Levels doing an animal management course. I’ve also worked at the RSPCA rescue centre for a couple of years. I love going for long walks and having the company of a four legged friend is an extra bonus! I always want to create a safe and happy environment where your dog can thrive. Flexible working hours. Mainly work week days but can work weekends if needed. I am happy to work around your schedule and help out whenever I can. I have a private field at the back of the house for your dogs to have lots of outside time, with an agility course set up if that's how your doggos like to spend there time! I’m fully insured, dbs checked and canine first aid trained.

About: With years of hands on experience caring for pets of all kinds, I know how important it is to leave your furry family members somewhere they’ll feel safe, happy, and loved. My pet boarding service is more than just a place to stay — it’s a home away from home. I provide personalised care based on each pet’s unique needs, whether that’s extra playtime, medication, special diets, or just lots of cuddles. Having worked with dogs, cats and a variety of small animals, I’m confident in handling pets with different temperaments and routines. When you’re away, I’ll make sure your pets are treated like family — because they are. 🐾 Because I work from home, pet care is naturally part of my daily life. I’m around throughout the day to give pets regular attention, outdoor breaks, playtime, and snuggles — not just at set times. This allows me to keep a close eye on their well-being, follow their usual routines, and give them the comfort of companionship rather than long stretches alone. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily adjust to each pet’s feeding times, walk schedule, or special needs. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or quiet evening cuddle time, I make sure every pet feels cared for and included in my daily routine. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, which is why I care for them right in their own home — surrounded by the sights, smells, and routines they already love. I do my best to keep things as normal as possible, from mealtimes and walks to playtime and snuggles, so they feel secure while you’re away. Since I work from home, I get to spend lots of time with your pets during the day, giving them attention, companionship, and plenty of love. I’m also happy to handle any special needs, like medication, special diets, or just extra cuddle breaks. I treat your pets like my own and your home with respect, so you can relax knowing everything (and everyone!) is well cared for until you’re back. 🐾
“Josie was lovely & offered to come over to meet the dogs the evening before the scheduled walk. She took a lot of care & made sure they had a lovely time in her care, thank you Josie. I would happily book you again 😁”
“Joe is a great choice for your dog walk! He's been helping us out with Paco's walks, our 4 year old dog, and Paco loves Joe! Joe is friendly and professional. He ensured Paco gets good exercise and good company, understanding his own personality and needs. A plus is a very data-driven approach to the job which data nerds or people obsessed with their pets may certainly enjoy!”
“Thank you Annie for letting Hera take you for a walk around her favourite stinky spots and introduce you to her snack-dealers in hi-vis! She was very happy when I got home.”

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my whole life. We got our first family dog when I was 15 and she became the best friend I needed at that time to get me out the house, play and lift me out of the teenage depression I was in at the time.

I ask the owner to provide clear instructions regarding any health and medical needs and anything out the usual. Unless indicated otherwise, I will always keep your dog on the lead, especially to begin with. If trust is developing well and recall is already in place then we can talk about offering more freedom on walks if that is what you would like.
About: Had dogs since childhood, I’m now 35 and having been made redundant started my own dog walking/sitting business with a number of clients already. Love working with reactive dogs, all shapes and sizes. Available 7 days a week and able to work around a clients needs. Dog walking and sitting is my full time job and whatever the weather I’m happy to help. My own dog is very reactive but completely harmless, I treat all dogs with love and respect, while having a calming demeanour. Dogs are welcome both on and off the lead but I’m naturally more cautious with other peoples pets.

I’m currently in the process of trying to make this my full time job which means i have a lot more play time available and would love to spend that with my fluffy friends! I have a fenced back garden which is plenty big enough for more furry friends. I have a dog crate if needed and can provide food and water bowls if required. I live in a safe neighbourhood surrounded by countless fields for beautiful walks.
About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was young and am passionate about dogs and their welfare! Neighbours, friends, and family as well as people from BorrowMyDoggy have relied on me to watch, walk, feed, and take care of their pets! I am bubbly and caring and can promise your pup will be very loved and looked after with me! I currently work full time and my job allows me to work from home or in the office, which makes me flexible. I also have most evenings free so am able to walk and watch pets of an evening and on weekends! I myself have a young female cocker spaniel puppy and an older-gentleman springer spaniel who I love dearly! I have a fenced garden and lots of open space for the pups to run around. I live in a very secure area with zero crime which creates a safe environment.

“Katie is such a great person and was so welcoming, friendly, calm and positive about having my dog for the weekend. I knew Bella was in safe hands and could really enjoy my trip knowing that Bella was well looked after and happy. I would highly recommend Katie for anyone else who is thinking of going away and needs someone to look after their dog!”
“Your little ones will be in great hands with Natalie and her little dog Lilo, who made fast friends with Luna, making her feel at ease immediately. Natalie kept us well informed throughout the stay and took Luna on a lovely walk. Recommend 100%. Thanks again 🙌🏻”
“We would have given Joyce 6 stars if we could :-) From our first contact through Rover.com Joyce has been very helpful, even providing coaching on how best to use the site. Our boys are 6 years old and this was the first time they have stayed with away form home. Joyce was brilliant with the boys and us. Joyce's communications before and during the visit we excellent and the boys were very well looked after by Joyce and her lovely family in their beautiful home. I cannot rate Joyce highly enough and would fully recommend Joyce to anyone seeking a caring environment for their cherished pets.”
“Lisa and her partner went above and beyond for our pup Darwin. Darwin was only 12.5 weeks at the time, and it was during a heatwave! Lisa and her partner went out of their way to buy a paddling pool and cooling mat for Darwin. Lisa provided 24hr care, and was very reassuring to my partner and I whilst caring for Darwin. Would definetly rebook!”
“Willow had a lovely time with Beth and Dan and their red fox lab Darcy. Willow is a very bouncy 5 month old working cocker spaniel and I was concerned she would be too annoying. However, it seems that Darcy and Willow had a lovely time playing and the photos and videos they sent showed willow looking quite calm at times which is rare! Beth and Dan have had lots of experience with many breeds of dogs and put my mind at ease when we visited for a meet and greet. I would happily have Willow stay with them again as I know she’d have a great time.”
“Roz was so wonderful looking after our dogs and kindly took them quite last minute. As soon as we arrived at her house they were so excited and completely forgot about us. The dogs had a wonderful day and were so exhausted when we collected them, a great sign of a day well spent. It's a home away from home for them, thank you Roz”
“Charlie & Milly stayed with Izabela for 4 nights - they came back looking happy and healthy, and were clearly very well cared for. It would have been nice to get some updates while we were away - but we also didn't ask for this, so maybe that's our fault. It was really obvious how much attentive and caring Izabela was to the dogs in her care, and she was incredibly helpful with scheduling around our times.”
“Louise took great care of our puppy Seymour while we were away over the weekend. She sent us amazing video updates of his adventures. He got to play with other dogs and even swim in a stream. We will definitely book her again.”
“Another fabulous and trouble free holiday for Finley. He really loves visiting Leanne and it's such a relief knowing he's a good hands. Leanne is excellent. Keeps us updated with a report for the day and images and video. Finley's had a great time! Thank you.!!”
“Used Tereza for a few weeks now and she and her partner have both been lovely and Ted seems to be enjoying his stays. Will continue to leave him with them when they are available”
“Thanks Scarlett for looking after Bessy for me, it was only 1 night for a trial run before my holiday in April and although I know she cried all night and kept you awake (she’s not used to being on her own through the night as she usually sleeps in her bed in my bedroom) but also obviously was a strange house and strange people she’s not used to but hopefully that hasn’t put you off having her again as she seemed happy enough the rest of the time and hopefully in April she will be more familiar with you and your house but thank you again for having her x”
“Kristen and her husband are lovely people. I felt so at ease. My spaniel Bella looked relaxed straight away, I loved the pictures of her during the day and will def be requesting more doggie day care ❤️”
“Rachel was fantastic with my Chasey boy! I was worried about leaving Chase with someone new but Rachel was lovely and reassuring. She sent updates with pictures over the few days he was with her and Chase was so happy and exhausted when I fetched him, it was clear he'd had a great time! Would 100% recommend! Thank you!”
“Mary and her family were great with Lana. They were really friendly and sent lots of lovely updates and photos of Lana out having fun. Mary was really helpful at short notice and Flexible when I was let down elsewhere. I think Lana was sad to come home! Would highly recommend and will use again. Thanks! 💚”
“Laura is fantastic, so friendly, she looked after our dog very well. Communication is very good including sending some pictures and I have already booked again.”
