Be a host family

Be a host

If you love dogs and want to look after one (or two) in your home as a house guest,  this could be your dream job!  Our clients choose not to put their dogs into traditional boarding kennels. Instead they board them in a safe, caring & trusted family home - the home of a trusted dog boarder.  So if you're as mad about dogs as we are,  fill-in an application form to become a home dog boarder.

What will I do?

You’ll look after one (or more) dogs while their owner(s) take a holiday or go to work. The aim is to welcome each dog into your family where they'll feel secure and loved. You'll need to be at home for most of the day and give them lots of cuddles and walks.  We will handle the booking process and help you get set-up with; training, a licence, CRB Checks, insurance and pet care manuals.  All you need is a dog-friendly home, a secure garden and time to enjoy the company of four legged companions.  Join our team of amazing dog home boarders today.

What do I get?

Being a host family offers the best of both worlds! You'll enjoy cuddles, companionship and play times without having to commit to owning a dog. Being part of Trusted Pet Carers means you’ll join a pet-loving team and be part of a professional pet care network.

  • Have fun, and get paid as well! 
  • Earn a little or a lot, depending on your availability and the number of dogs that you care for. 

We really value our team and offer lots of training and development opportunities.

Feedback from our boarders

Jack & Mary

"It is a great opportunity to meet so many different types of people and their wonderful dogs. It provides my husband and I with some doggy company without the ongoing commitment or cost of having another dog ourselfs, along with lots of lovely walks.  It also  helps us to get out of the house and keeps us fit and have a healthier life together.  We are new to dog sitting, but we are starting to meet so many other dog owners when out and about and making some new friends.  The bonus is getting paid doing something we love which, helps pays for family days out with our Grand children"

Sally-Anne

Although Sally-Anne only works part-time she does it from home and loves the canine companionship she has alongside. It's possible to get the best of both worlds!

Ellen

Ellen and her family enjoy adding furry friends to their home at the weekends as boarders. It gets the whole family out walking together and lifts everyone's spirits.
