“We are so happy we found Katie to check in on our two cats while we were away. Katie kept us up-to-date with how the cats were doing and provided lots of pictures. Our cats are both quite shy but after a few days were clearly comfortable around Katie, with one of them even happy to get belly rubs from her. We will not hesitate to book Katie again. She really helped take the stress out of leaving our cats.”


“Bob is an anxious terrier, he really needs to bond with someone to trust them. He is very discerning and also a bit needy. He has developed an amazing bond with Jess in a very short space of time. Jess has been amazing: helpful with dates for my work schedule and incredibly calm and patient with Bob. It’s clear he is very fond of her already ❤️ Jess has a lovely calming manner and asks all the right questions to make sure Bob is feeling secure and loved in her care. Highly Recommend. Jess has been absolutely brilliant.”


About: Hi, I’m Shannon, your pet’s new best friend! 🐶🐾 As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for cats/ dogs of all sizes I provide safe, reliable, and loving care tailored to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a quick potty break, an energising walk, or just some companionship while you’re away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life. It’s not just a job, but a true passion. I structure my days around dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, which means your pet gets my full attention and a consistent schedule they can rely on. Whether it’s a morning walk, a midday drop-in, or a weekend overnight stay, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I always prioritize safety, choosing calm, pet-friendly walking routes and making sure your pup is secure and happy every step of the way. For boarding and sitting, I typically offer in-home stays so your pets can remain in their own familiar environment while you’re away. I believe pets are most comfortable and relaxed at home, and I make sure to care for both your animals and your property with the same level of attention and respect I would my own.

“Melissa dropped by a few days before looking after Rory, our cat, and was really lovely and friendly. She visited and fed Rory everyday at the time we requested, and even did an extra visit in the hot weather to check he was ok. Would definitely recommend.”


“Saras was absolutely fantastic with our little Lola, she’s made a friend for life there! We received great updates and had full confidence in Sara. We’d absolutely book her to look after Lola again”


About: I’ve been around different kinds of dogs all my life. My sister has a dog called Nala who I look after while she’s out or on holidays. Love to make dogs feel happy and loved. My main priority is keeping your dogs safe and well looked after I have looked a variety of dogs and I always cater for their needs and take them on lovely walks. I’m currently working part time remotely from home but I can fit my work around looking after pets. I can pet sit in my home. I don’t have any other pets. It’s just myself and my daughter who loves having the dogs. I have a fenced with a gate front garden. I have a ginnel with my neighbour with a locked gate with a key which leads to my back garden which is fenced and has a locked gate. Plenty of space and very safe so they can be inside or out. I can leave my back door open for the dogs to come inside and out. I have quite an open downstairs so the dogs have room to venture around.

About: I’ve been doing Borrow My Doggy for 6 months which has been great! We have 3 different dogs for walks, day care and over night stays. I work for myself so can be flexible. My work is based in Trafford Park in a small office so if agreed the dog could come with me to work. I have a large fenced garden for lots of playing. I have a young child so the dog must be from a family home with children.

“Lisa was amazing and my fur-babies seemed very comfortable with her coming to visit every day. I think they were disappointed when we came home! Lisa came twice a day to feed and give cuddles. She did us updates everyday, with some photos, which was very reassuring. Would definitely recommend and would have Lisa back anytime. Thanks Lisa!!”


“Ciara was really great with my cat. She was flexible in terms of keeping him in/out and kept me posted on his visits. Highly recommend and looking forward to leaving my beloved fur ball in her care again”


About: I've always had cats in my family, and currently have a gorgeous tuxedo cat of my own. I have a love for all animals, but particularly love cats. I'd love to support you and your cat by offering litter cleaning, feeding, and lots of attention. I love to be around cats for cuddles and playtime, or if they're more of an independent cat I'm happy to spend time around them for some more distanced companionship. I work from home and my job is quite flexible. I also drive and ride a bike, so I can easily get to any local areas at a range of times during the day. I may have plans on the weekend, so if you require weekend visits please contact me in advance and I'll check my calendar, but during the week is easy for me. I will follow any instructions required to ensure your pet and your home are in safe hands. Being a cat and a home owner myself, I know how important safety is and I can attest to be fully reliable. I would love to share photos and updates with you around your pet so you can be sure they're happy and looked after. I live in a home with a fully fenced garden and have a house cat of my own, so if you would prefer yours didn't go outside that's not a problem. I also have a spare room, with lots of cat toys in case your cat might need some settling in time to their new environment, or for younger kittens.

About: I currently own a 5 year old dog and 8 year old cat so have had many years of looking after them!! I also regularly pet sit for my friends and I love getting to take care of them. I’m currently a student at the University of Leeds so can easily fit it around my lectures during term time then live at home in Manchester so will be available there in holiday time and every few weekends!! I will take care of pets in their own home so they feel most calm and safe there and can take dogs out for walks on routes they already know and feel comfortable with!!

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes.

“Alice and Adam were great, super helpful and quick comms - and they were amazing with our dog (an energetic black lab), made us feel really confident she was being looked after well, we’d definitely book again!”


About: I have been fortunate to own and care for many dogs throughout my whole life. From puppies to seniors, I have experience with many different breeds and temperaments. I look after family and friends dogs and have the time, patience and space to provide a home from home when their owners are away. I’m semi retired and only work a few hours a week from home; so I have plenty of time to play, walk and be there for your dog. I’m available 7 days a week. I live in a detached house with a large secured front and back garden. There’s plenty of space for your dog to roam around freely, sniff and explore. Our furry guests are always supervised when out playing in the garden. We live near some lovely open spaces and scenic walks.

About: In 2021, I brought Luna, my three-year-old Scottish Fold cat, into my home. She's a delightful grey feline. I even helped deliver two little kittens once, so I guess you could say that I'm her midwife! Despite living in Ukraine, I miss her a lot, which is why I've decided to start pet-sitting. Since 2022, I've been the trusted pet sitter for my neighbours whenever they're away, taking care of their beloved cats. This experience has taught me how crucial responsibility and commitment are when it comes to pet care. As a child, I had the pleasure of looking after my uncle's dog and gained valuable experience with canine companions as well. If you choose me as your pet sitter, you can be confident that your furry friends are in good hands. I strongly believe that your pets deserve the utmost care, and I'm here to provide just that. I work as a SEN teaching assistant at school, so I am away from home on weekdays. However, I'm available all weekend from Friday evening onwards. I can come by for a visit early in the morning or in the evening. I ensure that your pets are well taken care of by playing with them and ensuring they are fed and hydrated. It's crucial for me to receive feeding instructions in advance to provide the best care for your beloved pet while you are away. This also helps maintain their usual routine, preventing them from feeling confused or overwhelmed by any changes. If your pet requires medication, I'll create a plan for when to administer it throughout the day. In terms of safety, I do not let a dog run unleashed to prevent any emergencies connected to running away or an attack by other dogs.
