Become a Home-from-Home Pet Care Host
You’ve had your own dogs, or you’ve looked after them before. Perhaps there’s one giving you that ‘I’m more fun than a computer’ look right now…
If you miss the companionship around the house, the exercise and the sheer sociability of dog-walking, or if you think your kids and pets would welcome a bit of company, why not consider joining our friendly network of host families?
Unlike other forms of dog-sitting, you needn’t disrupt your home routine. Unlike looking after a friend’s dog while they’re away, with Barking Mad you can rely on full support, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including delivery and collection.
In providing home-from-home dog holidays as an alternative to boarding kennels or pet-sitting, you’ll also be supplying a much appreciated service to fellow dog lovers. And if you ever need our service yourself, you’ll receive a discount.
We’d love to hear from people just like you! What we look for is an obvious understanding of dog care, a safe garden, somewhere warm and cosy for dogs to sleep, and the ability to offer a continuation of their home life routines for exercise and feeding – so you’ll need to be at home during the day.
We are of an age when it's impractical to have our own dog, we fully recommend being hosts as it is a very enjoyable experience.
