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

Do you occasionally or regularly leave your pet(s) alone at home, in a kennel or with a pet sitter? MyPetYourPet offers an alternative solution where members of our community care for each other’s pets when needed, for FREE. Our idea is to provide your pet with pet companionship under the supervision of an experienced and fully insured member. When you host a pet(s) belonging to another member of the community, you will earn credits (not money). You can then use these credits to have your own pet(s) hosted by a member of the community.

A new way to give your pet a happy holiday

My Pet Your Pet is run by pet lovers, for pet lovers. We know that making sure your pet is well taken care of while you are away is a top priority.

We know it's not just about feeding and walking: pets that are used to living with humans, dogs especially, crave our company. If they are left alone for a week or more, they can become depressed. The last thing any of us want is for our fur baby to be down in the dumps when we return from two weeks in the sun.

We know that leaving your pet in the isolation of a cold and expensive kennel doesn't sit right but it can sometimes feel like the only option. However well-meaning and caring the staff at the kennel are, it's not like home, and your pet knows it.

This is why we started My Pet Your Pet. As pet owners, we wanted our beloved animals to still feel loved if we went on holiday to somewhere they couldn't go. We wanted them to have a home from home, which is what this community is all about.

At My Pet Your Pet we put cat and dog owners in the local area in touch with each other. No money changes hands: you build up credit for your animal to be looked after by taking care of another member's pet. There's a small annual subscription charge, part of which we donate to animal charities.

Not only do you save hundreds of pounds in kennel fees, you also get the satisfaction of helping out another pet lover in your area, and, your pet gets to stay with a loving host family. We do our best to match up pets who are compatible with each other.

We are serious about your safety, which is why we make sure that all our hosts are insured, and only take micro-chipped, vet-registered animals. We also put you in touch through our secure communication platform, meaning you don't ever have to share personal details with another member.

My Pet Your Pet is a unique way to make sure your pet gets a happy holiday while you do. Contact us today to find out more.

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.

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!

What’s in it for me?

Ethos
MyPetYourPet community is about giving and receiving. All our members are encouraged to host as well as have their own pets hosted. MyPetYourPet gives a percentage of every subscription to an animal charity of your choice. MyPetYourPet is the first community in the UK exclusively reserved for cat and dog owners, not just pet LOVERS.

Pet Compatibility
Our advanced and unique pet matching system helps to find the most compatible pet for yours. Our system considers pet’s likes and dislikes, their home environment and their social skills. Pet owners can find hosts with similar characteristics to their pets. You can also select breeds that you know your pet is already compatible with. Your pet will have a great companion to have fun with while you’re away!

Savings
Our annual membership plans are tailored for those who occasionally or frequently need their pet/s boarded. It will save you hundreds or thousands of £££s every year. Find out about our dog boarding London services.

Credit System
No money exchanged. Each member’s effort to host a pet or recommend another member is rewarded with credits. The more you host the more credits you receive. We reward you with extra credits for hosting a big dog, several cats or dogs coming from the same household or accepting a last minute hosting request. Use your credits to have your pet(s) hosted.

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.
