Partnerships

MyPetYourPet is partnered with some experienced dog groomers and fully insured and qualified dog trainers/behaviourists, who are using the most modern and advanced reward based training, with all methods being force free, fun and rewarding for both you and your dog. We are working on ensuring partnerships in all areas where we have MyPetYourPet members. Safety and sociability of dogs are of key importance, hence we are offering a MyPetYourPet dog training programme as a complementary service. Hosting another dog when you already have one requires specific knowledge and skills that our dog trainer partners will help you achieve through specific training sessions. This will help every dog owner in our community to anticipate, manage and understand better the different situations while hosting another dog.

How it works

You subscribe to an annual membership to become a Member. All cat and dog owners undergo a vetting process, abide by a Code Conduct, are monitored on an on-going basis and are provided with a Personal liability & Veterinary fees Insurance. No money exchanges hands – only MyPetYourPet Credits. You receive credits upon registration as well as when you host a cat or dog. The more you host, the more credits you receive. If you are unable to host, you can purchase Credits. When you need a pet sitter, contact and meet a local member. Always introduce each other's pet. Make sure everyone is happy and ready. Your pet sitter receives your credits upon completion of the service. Then, leave your comments about your pet sitter and pet experience for the other members to read.

Members

RESPONSIBLE

Our members’ cat(s)/dog(s) must be microchipped, as it is a legal requirement in the UK, fully vaccinated and veterinary registered. Our members have cat(s)/dog(s) that are suited to their home and lifestyle. They provide appropriate food, water, shelter, health care and companionship. They do not leave their pets alone at home for long period of time during the day or night.

CONSIDERATE

Treat your guest pet(s) as you would like your pet(s) to be treated. Communicate well as a guest and host. Respond to messages timely. Communicate effectively the needs of your pet(s) so they can have the best experience.

OBSERVANT

Be fully aware of the advice given by the pet owner when the pet(s) is in your care.

BE PREPARED

When you are hosting a pet, prepare your home to welcome your guest. When your pet(s) is a guest, get their bedding, food and toys ready for your host. We recommend every member to attend our dog training partners programmes to be able to manage different situations with another member’s pet. When you are hosting another pet and you must leave your place, always consider separating the guest pet from the host pet.

HONEST

Provide accurate information about yourself, your pet(s) and guidance.

INTEGRITY

MyPetYourPet is about giving and receiving. Be as open about having a pet guest in your home as wanting to have your own pet hosted. No money exchange is allowed for hosting a pet - only MyPetYourPet Credits

Cats & Dogs

SOCIABLE

MyPetYourPet is about pet companionship. So, your pet must be sociable with other pets.

HOUSE TRAINED

All pets must be house trained.

BASIC OBEDIENCE

We suggest that all pets can respond to basic commands such as “sit, down, come and stay”.

PREPARED

Prior to hosting, introduce the host and guest pet to ensure they get on.

DOG TRAINING PARTNERS

TRAINING METHODS

All our dog training partners only use kind and force free techniques, such as lure reward training and no use of choke chains, prong collars or any physical force. Kinder methods are better for positive relationships with our pets which is very important!

Credit System
When using a pet sitter, no money exchanges hands but Credits only. Credits are earned when you host a pet. The more pets and the longer you host them, the more Credits you will earn. If you are unable to host a pet, you can still buy 6 Credits per month maximum.

Safety
Microchipped and Vet registered cats and dogs only, details verified. Your personal contact details remain private by messaging other members via our secure communication platform. All our members are insured – MyPetYourPet Accident & Third Party Liability. Premium members receive an added safety measure with a Waterproof Pet GPS Tracker, which will notify you, wherever you are, of the exact location of your pet, via a cellular data connection

Convenience
If you’re off somewhere in the UK where your pet(s) is not allowed to stay, you can still bring them along and connect with local MyPetYourPet members who will host them overnight. Soon you will be able to do this abroad.

We use our knowledge and experience as pet owners to support each other and provide unique
pet companionship for our beloved cats and dogs through carefully matched reciprocal hosting.

Please note this is not an exact science. Each dog is unique and considering a breed match is just one factor.
MyPetYourPet also considers things in common as a key factor. We are constantly updating this database, for any other suggestions please contact us.
