About: I loved being a dog mum, & I really do know how important it is, to have someone you whole-heartedly trust…. I have a whole lifespan of dog experience from puppy training, exercising and engaging adolescent energy to ‘twilight’ years care. I grew up with three dogs; from a little Lasa Apso, to an Old English Gent, with a Corgi Mix in-between. I have experience of fully training my own Cardigan Corgi in the past, the most loyal soul and truly the “goodest boy”. He had an exceptionally sweet character, a dog lover himself and somewhat of a celebrity in our area 🤎 He reached a great age and we had the best life together. He is the reason I want to be around and care for dogs. STROLLING & SNIFFING, WALKING and/or HIKING: I am a qualified DofE walk leader for Hertfordshire, so I know the greatest adventures, terrain and many varied local routes. I live very near to a locally known Greenway, Wymondley Woods, and I often walk my dog guests around the routes near Standalone Farm. I can get to Weston Hills and know a great shorter route through the fields from Graveley into Chesfield. I can walk much shorter routes and easily reach parks and fields nearby without travelling in the car. We can walk up to twice a day. I always walk with awareness and responsibility; I am a mindful and aware dog carer, especially in public places. Preemptive safety is always my priority. I build an engaging and thoughtful relationship with dogs, practicing communication and embedding routine. I talk to them and we learn together, getting to know each other. BOARDING: I believe communication is key; I would like to gain an understanding of your dog and their daily routine, their specific requirements and ensure that they have as little disruption as possible whilst you are away. We will get in as many walks as needed and you can let me know which of those I mentioned above, that your dog would like. I’ll ensure they get to explore the area as part of their stay with me. VISITS and playtime: A fully engaged and planned visit according to your needs; I will spend this time ensuring your dog knows they are a VIP and cared for. I use reaffirming language to create routine and build effective communication with your dog. I can usually come to visit your dog at short notice, please reach out if you need help. I am able to make myself available for boarding 24/7; your dog will be with me and included in every part of my day where possible. My house is set back and accessed down a pathway, it is therefore away from the street; & the front garden is fenced. I have a good sized fully secure and 6ft fenced rear garden. I am able to safely transport dogs with seat belts, a large hatchback area, and a soft cushioned bed in my vehicle. For those dogs with mobility issues or for owners that want to restrict access upstairs; my stairs have a gate at the top & bottom. For walks I will also only walk with one dog at a time, or two dogs maximum from the same family. I have a current valid DBS check. Please let me know within 2 days of booking ending if you would prefer photos not to be used in my profile. Thank you.
“Kept me updated through the whole visit and gave him lots of cuddles and attention. A massive weight off my shoulders having such a trustworthy person checking on my little cat. Would 100% recommend x”
“We had Abby helping us out checking on our cat while we were on holiday making sure he had everything he needed along the way. She was of great help and she was always available for anything for we asked. Thank you Abby, we would need of your assistance again :) x”
“Fiona is absolutely fantastic with my cocker spaniel puppy, Layla. I have been quite anxious about leaving her, but Fiona alleviated those anxieties, offering me advice and looking after Layla so well. She is clearly very experienced with dogs and did a lot of training with Layla and passed on tips to me on how to keep up with this training.”
“I couldn't recommend Alex enough! She instantly gain my trust, when she came to meet my puppy before the first booking. She went on a walk with us, asked questions to ensure she had all the information that she needed in order to care for him properly. On the day she sent me lovely photos and left a very thorough update. She even stayed longer that the booking stated, so my puppy could have a longer walk. Super trustworthy person and loving sitter, we'll definitely be booking her again! Thank you so much Alex for looking after my little puppy!”
About: Hello, my names Linda and I am huge animal lover! I have owned dogs for the last 16 years, and looked after them from puppies through to elderly, including rescue dogs and can provide care to senior dogs. I’ve recently lost 2 of my dogs which I’m heartbroken about and it’s the first time I haven’t had a pet in the house in 20 years. Before I decide to get another dog I have decided to look after other people’s pet which is the next best thing. My schedule is pretty flexible, I am currently working mostly remotely. Please drop me a message and I will be able to confirm my availability. I have a fenced garden and live near lots of lovely big parks where I can dog walk. I will be the perfect dog sitter as I will treat your dog as if they were my own. Please feel free to ask me any questions you have.
About: With a lifetime of canine companionship under the South African sun, I have cultivated a deep-seated love for dogs, which I have carried through six years of dedicated pet sitting in the UK. From bounding German Short Hair Pointers to cuddly Labradoodles, energetic Jack Russells, and charming Pugs, I have cherished every moment caring for a variety of breeds, including rescue dogs and cats. Raised in South Africa, my upbringing instilled in me a profound appreciation for the great outdoors. As an avid adventurer, I relish every opportunity to explore nature, whether it's through leisurely strolls or invigorating runs. This active lifestyle aligns perfectly with my commitment to ensuring your beloved dog receives the exercise, playtime, and affection they deserve. Joining Trustedhousesitters & Borrow My Doggy was a natural step for me, allowing me to merge my passion for travel with my love for animals. Over the years, I have had the privilege of caring for numerous furry companions, treating each as if they were my own. My dedication to providing a safe, nurturing environment is matched only by my enthusiasm for making tails wag and hearts sing. Myself & my husband are usually the go-to people when friends need someone to care for their dogs, we've earned a reputation for reliability and compassion. Thanks to the flexibility of remote work, I have been fortunate enough to offer my furry friends the attention and affection they deserve, making every day an adventure filled with love and laughter. Beyond walks and playtime, I have honed my skills in training dogs for better leash manners, enabling enjoyable and stress-free outings. I’ve walked many dogs off-lead, teaching them to have better recall, ensuring their safety and your peace of mind. When you entrust your dog to my care, rest assured they'll receive the utmost love, attention, and adventure. Whether it's a leisurely walk in the park, a game of fetch in the backyard, or simply snuggles on the couch, I will tailor my care to suit your dog's individual needs and preferences. So why choose me as your pet sitter? Because I am not just passionate about dogs – I am dedicated to ensuring they lead happy, healthy lives filled with love and joy. Give your furry friend the gift of exceptional care, and let me be their home away from home. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine as I work from home fully remote, providing the flexibility to walk and run with dogs throughout the day. With a fenced garden and nearby parks, your dog will enjoy plenty of outdoor time and exploration. Whether it's a day visit, overnight stay, or holiday care, or drop in dog walk, rest assured your furry friend will receive personalised attention and regular updates with photos and videos. I prioritize meeting your dog's individual needs and preferences, and will be happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand for peace of mind. I also have a baby under 1 who’s calm and already loves being around dogs. It’s important to me that she grows up comfortable with animals, just like I did! :) Rest assured, when your dog stays with me, their comfort and safety are our top priorities. My home is equipped with a fenced garden, providing a secure space for outdoor playtime and exploration. With plenty of parks and walking trails nearby, your furry friend will have endless opportunities for exercise and adventure.

During the day, your dog will have a cozy bed to relax in while I work, and they'll have the option to sit by my side for company. I maintain a routine of regular walks in the morning, at lunchtime, and in the evening, providing ample opportunities for outdoor exercise and bathroom breaks. If you prefer, your dog can come over to my home for a few hours of playtime, stay overnight, or I can drop by your place to take them for a walk. Whatever arrangement works best for you and your dog, I am here to accommodate and provide a safe, loving environment for them to thrive. Rest assured, when you entrust your dog to my care, they'll be treated like a member of my own family, receiving the attention, love, and care they deserve.
About: I have chosen to be a pet sitter as I am now retired & have lots of time on my hands and a lot of love to give. I have had cats and dogs all of my life right from when I was a child. I recently lost my cat at the grand age of 20 and am lost without a pet to care for. I would love to board a cat or dog on a short-term basis. I am a kind caring lady who has a lot of love and affection to give to anyone’s pet. I currently work as a home help 3 days a week. The longest I’m away from the house is about 2 1/2 hours at a time! So I’m around most of the time. I live in a lovely 100 year-old cottage that is very spacious - I’m happy for cats to have the run of the whole house ! I also have a lovely garden which is very secluded and quiet. I have plenty of time for affection & love!
About: Experienced Veterinary Care Assistant at a Referral hospital Qualified Canine Hydrotherapist First Aid Trained Level 2 Animal Care qualification I love all animals and can’t wait to give them the best care possible. I do work full time, but am available on the weekends and in the evenings. I am an available some Monday’s and Tuesday’s. I have a fenced garden and three friendly dogs. I am very experienced with all breeds, all ages, and all health conditions. Having studied animals and worked closely in a Veterinary Hospital with animals I can assure you your dog will be in safe hands.
“Sophie was great, looked after Milo really well, played with him, fed him and kept me updated. Sophie came to meet Milo before the visit which was really great. Would definitely book again.”
About: I've always had cats and dogs from a young age. Our family have rescued a greyhound and husky over the years and know firsthand the amount of unconditional love that these animals can give you. I have experience with big dogs and little dogs and appreciate that all dogs have different temperaments. I want to get to know your dog as if it was my own and give it the love that it deserves! I can walk your pooch in the mornings and evenings and weekends. I've dogsat for people in the past and am able to do this but the current rescue we have is not good with other dogs so it would have to be at your house. I work from home with a flexible schedule so I'm always on hand to provide walks and pets! I'll schedule work around any additional needs your pet may have too. I also know the art of emailing with one hand and petting with the other! I know the importance of routine and respecting the boundaries of each pet as an individual. I'll get to know your pet in their own environment and make sure they feel safe and secure with their comforta.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my whole life — dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and even the occasional rescue. Caring for pets has always come naturally to me, and I’ve always been the first person friends and family trusted to look after their pets whenever they travelled or needed help. I also have a rescue dog of my own, so I understand the patience, gentleness, and consistency that some pets need to feel safe and comfortable. This experience helps me connect quickly with nervous, shy, or sensitive animals. I’m DBS‑checked and pet first aid certified, and I take pride in offering calm, reliable, and loving care. Whether it’s drop‑in visits, feeding, companionship, or longer overnight stays, I treat every pet as if they were my own — with kindness, routine, and genuine affection. I’m available throughout the week, so I can plan my days around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I don’t currently offer standalone dog walking, but I’m always happy to walk dogs as part of an overnight stay or longer pet‑sitting booking. Having a flexible schedule means I can give pets plenty of attention, keep to their routines, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I care for pets in their owner’s home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible such as feeding times, walks (if part of a pet‑sitting stay), playtime, and any little habits that help them feel relaxed. For drop‑in visits, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get some company and playtime, and I always send updates and photos so owners know how their pet is doing. During overnight or longer pet‑sitting stays, I stay in the home to keep pets in their familiar environment. I keep the house tidy, maintain their routine, and give them plenty of attention and reassurance. I don’t offer boarding in my own home, and I don’t provide standalone dog walking but I’m always happy to walk dogs as part of a pet‑sitting booking.
About: Over the years, I’ve been extremely lucky to be trusted to care for friends’ and family members’ dogs while they’re at work, away for weekends, or on holiday. I’ve looked after a variety of breeds, including Labradors, Shiba Inus, and mixed breeds, and I understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs. Some dogs are happiest relaxing quietly, others love long walks, some enjoy hours of belly rubs, and others just want to play and cuddle. I take the time to really listen to owners and learn about each dog’s routine, preferences, and personality, which helps me provide care that feels familiar and comfortable for them. This individual approach is what has led to trusted, ongoing dog-sitting relationships. I truly believe no two dogs are ever the same, and I care for each one as if they were my own. I currently work full-time Monday to Friday, but I’m available for local walks or drop-ins during my lunch breaks. With notice, I’m also available from Friday evening through to Sunday evening, to help care for your pets. I’m reliable, organised, and happy to plan ahead to make sure your pet’s needs fit comfortably into my routine. I had my cat Gizzy for 8 years in our 3-bedroom home, where she was free to roam and enjoy our large, fully fenced garden. She loved spending hours basking in the sun on our decking during the spring and summer months. Inside, she had full access to furniture and especially loved relaxing on the sofa. When caring for friends’ or neighbours’ pets, I follow their instructions carefully and respect their home and routines. I’m often entrusted with a key and any special requirements their pets may have. I prioritise safety, comfort, and creating a loving environment so every pet feels secure, happy, and well cared for while in my care.
About: Dogs are my life, my walks are the best part of my day I love everything about dogs. I’ll provide love, care and a clean safe environment I’m currently working three days from home so I am always around. I walk my own dogs everyday without fail rain or shine. I also have a dog flap so they can have toilet trips at any time in the garden I have a fenced garden and two very friendly cockerpoos to keep your doggie company. I can offer a crate or run if needed. This house is all about the dogs haha
About: I come from an animal loving family so I’ve grown up and have experience with all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters and guinea pigs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages; playful puppies who need structure and training to senior pets who need a gentler pace and a little extra patience. I pay close attention to each animal’s personality and routine so they feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My schedule is flexible enough that I can give dogs the exercise and attention they need, and I’m just as happy spending quiet time with pets who prefer a slower pace. I am available weekdays and weekends. I also have access to a car so am reliable and prepared, even for same day bookings. I follow any instructions provided carefully, from feeding schedules to medication needs. I treat every home with respect and i send regular updates with photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.

Fantastic relationship with our pets continual communication plenty of photos lots of care we were delayed by hours txt him he came back and took Mitch our dog for walk cannot fault him James thank you soo much and we didn’t have to worry will definately use him again
From the moment we started messaging on Rover, Jessica's kindness and expertise were clear to see. She sent through multiple photos of our cats (which is a feat in itself considering how nervous they are of strangers, and shows just how caring she was towards them), and even made friends with the neighbour's cat! Would 1000% recommend her services, especially considering she helped us out so last minute for our trip
We had Abby helping us out checking on our cat while we were on holiday making sure he had everything he needed along the way. She was of great help and she was always available for anything for we asked. Thank you Abby, we would need of your assistance again :) x
We couldn't be happier with the care Alison gave our cat Milo while we were away. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease — regular updates, photos, and messages showing Milo was happy and well looked after. He was clearly in safe, loving hands, and we came home to a relaxed, contented cat. Highly recommended — we'll absolutely be booking Alison again!
Billie was an amazing cat sitter! He took such good care with my two skitty but curious cats and sent me a lot of update photos and told me what they were up to which was so appreciated! Would not hesitate to use him again and recommend to my friends. Makes me feel happy to book more holidays knowing Billie can hopefully take care of them if needed! 100% great, 6/5 stars if I could :) thank you Billie!
Alex is incredible with our dog! We needed an afternoon visit when we went for a day out, and ended up needing a second visit on the same day as we got stuck in traffic, which she very kindly accepted to help with. Alex is patient and kind with our dog, and we really appreciate having someone like her to count on! Thank you, Alex!
Jasmine is fantastic! My cat is really nervous around a new people, and the fact that she has experience with animal behavior was a major plus for me. She’s so kind and attentive so I knew I was leaving Annie in good hands. She gave lots of updates and pictures so I felt at ease. Definitely book Jasmine, she’s great and I’ll definitely be using her services again!
Helen was very attentive from start to finish with care and updates throughout, she went above and beyond. It is clear she loves animals and that animals love her back! Our little cat warmed to Helen instantly. She went as far as sharing some of her Christmas turkey with our cat, which he loved. Thank you, can’t recommend enough!
