“Leonie has built up a very good relationship with our dog Buddy and he loves going for walks with her. She is always punctual and reliable and she has been walking him for several weeks now. He greets her enthusiastically when she arrives and seems to work off plenty of energy on their walks together. We’d happily recommend her.”

“Hilary was fantastic. Bingo had a great time and Hilary kept me updated at all times with lots of lovely pictures. She was also very quick to respond to any communications. Thank you!”

About: Hi, I am Jo and I am a complete animal lover. I have experience looking after both dogs and cats and have significant experience caring for British Bulldogs (the most stubborn, and loving, of them all!) I have experience of all size dogs and am comfortable caring for more than one dog (and cats) at a time, puppies, older dogs and also our more nervous/shy furry friends. I am comfortable walking dogs on and off the lead and will happily follow your usual dogs routine. I also have experience caring for kittens and cats. I live in a flat (stairs, no lift) and have access to a communal garden area. This is a quiet area and there are many kind furry friends in the neighbourhood. I am able to offer day care in my home and toilet breaks as often as necessary. I am also lucky to live right next to Southampton Common, a wonderful walking space. I own a car and am more than happy to transport your dog somewhere else so they can enjoy a good runaround. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful furry friend in the future! I keep my availability up to date and am able to accommodate short-notice requests as well as bookings for the future. I work from home as a nail artist (self employed) and, so, benefit from a range of availability and can be flexible when caring for your pet. When caring for your pet, whether that be in your home or at mine, I will always seek to follow the instructions and routine you provide me. I will ensure they are fed, walked, played with and provided lots of love and attention! Through conversations with you, I will seek to understand your pets likes, dislikes and routine so I can best provide this on your behalf.

“We have used Sylvia a couple of times now and she has been great, communication is good and our pup absolutely loves being taken out with her. Would definitely recommend and we will continue using her for regular walks ☺️”

About: I have always loved animals and as a child I was fortunate to grow up in Africa, where we had many pets. Dogs, Cats, Rabbits and Tortoise (the only reptile I was keen on)! When I was 10yrs old I worked on weekends for the SPCA, clearing out and cleaning the cat and dog kennels, grooming the cats and walking the dogs. I would often go home and persuade the family to take on an unwanted older dog or cat or a kitten! I used to walk dogs for our neighbours and feed cats when they were away. Over the last 30 years, I have had dogs and cats of my own. I took our Labrador to dog training classes for months and it was a joy to see how he and the other dogs responded. When Bobby passed at age 13, I joined BorrowMyDoggy. Initially I was having Mabel to stay every Wednesday and alternate weekend but when the family found they had too many commitments, they asked us to have her. She was an adorable Cocker Spaniel and followed me everywhere. I am a gardener and she just sat wherever I was working. She also very quickly became the mascot for the boys cricket team - loved by the children and the parents. Cats normally came into my life as strays. They seemed to know I was a soft touch! Our current cat arrived during lock down when he was found sleeping in a cardboard box. He is so affectionate and has brought nothing but joy. Generally sleeps on my head or one of the boys. I regularly walk dogs for friends and neighbours and I have house-sat many times over the last 40 years, looking after dogs, cats, chickens, guinea pigs and hamsters. I love to walk. I am a professional gardener and given enough notice, I can move my gardening schedule to allow me to be away from home when necessary. I am very mindful of what the pet needs. Obviously exercise, fresh water, food are essential. I will be aware of areas that the pet cannot go and will always put the dog on a lead when walking near a road. I am currently looking after an in-door cat so I have to be mindful to put her in another room when I need to go outside, so she cannot escape.

About: I would love to look after your dog, I live in a fun loving home with 4 other students who all love dogs. I have owned dogs since I was a small child and trained them from puppies. All my immediate family all own dogs. Have also done doggy daycare in my own home when I’m not at university. When looking after your dog I will take them for two at least one hour walks per day. I have a responsible attitude towards caring for your pet and am not scared to get stuck in. I will ensure there is a safe environment for your pet and make it feel welcome and at home in my house. Although I’m a full time student I have plenty of time at home to care for your pet and would love to do so.

About: I grew up with 2 dogs and 1 rabbit in my family home. As an only child, my pets were my best friends. My current situation doesn’t allow me to have pets but I’m looking forward to having a puppy in a few years. Meanwhile, I’ve been dog sitting and walking for friends in my neighbourhood on a casual basis. I’m currently working freelance and have lots of free time. I enjoy walks in nature as much as quiet chill time indoors. My schedule is fairly flexible during the summer. Animals always bring out my inner child. I enjoy both playing toys with them and cuddling while watching a film. I’m a nature lover as well so I would love to take your pets to long walks in the countryside if it is safe.

About: Life time enjoyment of caring for pets. I’ve grown up with every type of animal from living on a farm. My love for pets has no limits. I grew up in Guernsey the wonderful smaller isle of the Channel Islands, and have moved to Portsmouth almost 2 years ago, I had been looking after my work Colleagues dogs and then he mentioned this fantastic app Rover so thought I’d join in the fun and have dogs around me more often and I love it!! I would love to help with your pets care, from a hamster to a dog I am happy to help where I can. let me help you enjoy your holiday or event you may have planned by taking out the worry of what can you do with your pet. We are both DBS credited so you will have peace of mind your home will be in safe hands. We can watch your dog and why not bring your hamster for a holiday to! We have pet cameras linked to the phones so know your pets every move whilst out of the home, they are motion and noise activated so rest assured we are always watching. We also work on the town whilst hubby is driving around doing maintenance he will go home for toilet brakes and puppy cuddles 🥰 I also work 5 minutes from the house and have the ability to leave my work place at anytime. I work mixed hours so your pets are never left for more than 4 hours. Myself and partner both work however but our shifts are different making it easy to care for your pet. Early afternoon finishes for hubby. Late morning starts for me and we also have the weekends off. The longest they would be left is for approximately 4 hours till someone is back home. Hubby works out and about in his van so can always pop in for puppy pats and treats. we would be happy to take two dogs from the same home to board at our home. we can offer pop ins if near by early in the morning or lunch time, also walks in the afternoon and evening. High walled back yard with plenty of space to run and play. No children to pull and poke your beloved pet. Two adults who adore animals but can’t have our own. We would welcome any opportunity to look after your pet. Doggy therapy is the best.

“Isabella is really lovely, good with communication took my last minute booking and went on a really long walk. Rupert is a very happy boy after his walk and will definitely sleep well tonight! What more can you ask for!”

About: Looking after many friends dogs and now being part of the cat of my boyfriend’s dog has prepared me to excel as a pet sitter. The range of animal personalities i’ve encountered has allowed me to adapt to different needs. I prioritise saftey and happiness of every furry friend that i encounter. I have a high degree of respect for pet owners and am happy to follow their wants and reassure them throughout their absence. I’m a remote worker who would love to fill their days with looking after dogs anytime with the amazing flexibility of my schedule. I offer a safe and nurturing environment for all dogs from lunchtime walks to afternoon cuddles.

I will keep a vigilant eye on walks for potential dangers eg. aggressive dogs, busy roads or hazardous terrain.

About: We lost our rescue Springer Spaniel Roxy in December. She was with us for 13 years and when we rescued her she was over weight, had hip problems and was scared of men. Soon she was slim, learnt how to swim and won a rosette for best rescue dog at a local country show. She loved walking in the woods close to use and the beach walks we took her on and we miss the joy she brought to us on those days. The house is quiet and whilst we are not yet ready to replace her we would love to share some of our love with a few furry guests. I sometimes also look after my friends black lab called Misty who is a tea drinking nutcase!! I work for myself and most of the time from home. If it was necessary for me to have to work from a Clients premises for a day this would be scheduled in advance so I would not take on a dog whose stay would be affected by this. In the case of an emergency however my husband Mark is able to work from home or has even been known to take Roxy in to his office for different tickles! We have a large garden which is fenced and entrances fitted with gates. Any pet we care for would have free reign of this space. Depending on the needs of the dog we would walk it as often as requested and keeps it's mealtime routine. we were always strict with treats for Roxy but again would adapt to the owners requests

I’m looking to take care of your pets when/wherever needed and love going on dog walks and giving them all the attention and love they deserve. I have lots of availability at the moment as I am in between my studies and am only doing part time work. I have lots of availability and am flexible to work around your schedule! Your dog’s safety is always my greatest concern and I would care for them as if they were my own. I will ensure lots of attention, cuddles and play for your special one.
