Share Your Pet brings together animal lovers to borrow & share pets. We connect pet owners with trusted local borrowers who would love to look after their pets.
Pet owners may need help when they at work or on holiday or at any other time. You never know what life throws at you. We make it easy to arrange walks, playtime, overnight stays or holidays.
Our aim is to promote animal welfare, reduce the number of pets rehomed each year and champion responsible knowledgable pet ownership. We help pet owners when they need it.
Borrowers get the pet companionship they are searching for. Dogs especially get more exercise, meet other dogs and love more playtime, to allow people without a pet to spend quality time with their favourite pet. Even before deciding to own one themselves.
Pet sharing is great for a family and children to borrow a pet before they take on the responsibility of pet ownership.
Everyone benefits especially our furry friends. Live Love Pet.
In line with the advice from www.pethealthcouncil.co.uk.
Pets can play an important role in people’s lives and they are often referred to as ‘one of the family’. As well as providing a constant source of enjoyment, friendship and fun, many pets thrive in a family and household environment. In their recent journals on the topic The Pet Health Council list over two pages of benefits to children, families, single people and the community.
Children in dog owning families also have more traditional values, better academic achievement and greater respect for their parents. I often witness positive attitudinal changes in young people following the introduction of animals to their lives. In learning to care for the animal, they are also acquiring foundation skills required for parenting. In addition, passage through the teenage years – a difficult time for many – is facilitated by a relationship with a non- judgemental, ever supportive animal friend in whom one can confide fears and worries
The animal magic goes beyond the therapeutic and educational to bring significant physical health benefits too. One of the more obvious benefits is that of exercise – dog walking or playing with a cat is a great way for people to burn a few more calories. This is particularly important when lifestyles are becoming increasingly sedentary and obesity is a growing issue, for children and adults. Many families are now acquiring pets to encourage children, especially boys, to spend more time in the “real”, rather than the “virtual” world.
I love Share Your Pet, it’s a brilliant concept, website and personal service. It’s easy to meet new people, safe and secure - perfect for busy people. We will be using it a lot. Thank you.
My family and I love this idea…and its Free which makes a change! We found other services had too many restrictions and just weren’t suitable for what we wanted. Share Your Pet is different. You can share ANY pet how brilliant!
Keep up the good work, we absolutely loved it. You get a personal service from day one. Will be telling my friends about your website and oh we love your pictures on instagram.
So much fun, brought a smile to everybody in the house. Ideal for busy households, when you don't have time to look after the dog or cat full time, but can have an enjoyment. (Borrowing Henry - A Charcoal Lab from Ashley).
We borrowed a rabbit from a local family for my daughter's birthday. She enjoyed playing with Freddy the rabbit and now we have decided to adopt one. We also share our Dog Rollo and it's a great experience and really useful for when I'm at work.
Great, when you are thinking of getting a dog or any other pet to find out what it's like. We have helped out loads of people and made some great friends.
I use Share Your Pet a lot! Both when I am at work it's better for Cooper to have some company. Becoming a member has saved me loads of money over using pet sitters or dog walkers to fill the time. Would highly recommend.
I used Share Your Pet for the first time before I went on holiday to Italy for 2 weeks. Usually I would ask my parents, I hate using kennels with a passion. My parents could not look after Milo, so I needed to meet someone I could trust and now I have my dog co-parent to help me out for long or short stays.
