My experience is made great by the…appearance of energetic poodle
My experience is made great by the kindness of dog owner and her willingness for me to have her dog . We are building up quite nice rapport. It just makes me feel better to see her dog after losing my 16yr old man, my husband and I enjoy her visits so much

Thank you so much for sharing this. We're so glad that the kindness of the dog owner has made your experience such a positive one, and that you’re building such a lovely rapport together.
We’re especially touched to hear how much these visits mean to you after your loss. Saying goodbye is never easy, and it’s heartwarming to know that spending time with another pup is bringing comfort to both you and your husband. That’s exactly the kind of connection our community is all about.

I absolutely love this app
I absolutely love this app. I've met the nicest most special people on here. They just love dogs and are not money motivated. I have 2 pugs and they love all of their new human friends. And it's great for me to have back ups for walks or when I need to go out for too long to leave them. Brilliant app that seems to attract good peeps. I recommend it all the time.

Non existant phone line
Don’t even bother trying to phone them. They have an automated message saying they’re busy. I’ve called multiple times on multiple days and still can’t get through to a person. Very inconvenient.

Happy Borrower
Borrower here who wanted experience with different breeds as we're hoping to get a dog later in the year. I also wanted to enjoy more fresh air. I matched quickly with two owners & have already met/walked "Bobbie" who's ADORABLE. Hoping to meet more soon

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It’s wonderful to hear that you joined BorrowMyDoggy to get to know different breeds ahead of welcoming a dog of your own - what a thoughtful (and pawsome!) way to prepare.
We hope you continue meeting more furry friends and enjoying lots of happy walks along the way. Wishing you all the best as you get closer to finding the perfect pup for your own family later this year.

Borrow my Doggy is an amazing service
Borrow my Doggy is an amazing service.
After covid I was very depressed and anxious. Thanks to BMD I met a dog who has changed my life for the better.
I tell people all the time about BDM, especially if you love dogs and are not able to have or afford one. It also gives you the opportunity to find out about different breads etc.

Perfect for anyone that's lost a dog
I couldn't recommend BorrowMyDoggy more! We lost our dog Django last year but aren't in a position to get another one for a while. We joined BorrowMyDoggy and now walk a huge Saint Bernard called Ginny who our kids LOVE. We literally borrow her as our own - we walk her and then take her home and she lies on the sofa for a cuddle. It gives us the perfect snippet of dog time!

Thank you so much for sharing this. We’re so sorry to hear about Django. Losing a dog leaves such a big pawprint on your heart, and it’s completely understandable not to feel ready for another just yet. It’s wonderful to hear that Ginny has brought that joyful snippet back into your lives.
Thank you for being such a lovely part of BorrowMyDoggy and for giving Ginny so much love. It sounds like a true win-win (or woof-woof!) for everyone involved.

A good way to introduce a dog to a prospective owner.
I found Borrow my doggie easy to navigate and took my little dog Snowy to meet a young 7 year old young lady who enjoyed his company for a couple of hours so they got to know each other. I think the site is ideal for young and old alike to get some idea as to what it is like to own a dog and perhaps find a breed they enjoy the company of.

I like that I have total control of when I walk their dog , if available.

Wonderful service!
I'm disabled so I my dog doesn't get enough exercise.
I only let those with an upgraded membership borrow my doggy as they will have used their bank card.
Thre borrowers are wonderful, dog loving people who, for whatever reason, can't have a dog of their own.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, and we’re really sorry to hear this has been your experience. We completely understand how frustrating it must feel to be part of BorrowMyDoggy for so long without finding a reliable match, that’s certainly not the journey we’d want for you.
Matching can sometimes take time as it depends on things like availability, location, preferences, and how active members are in your area. We’d love the chance to look into your account with you, review your profile and settings, and see if there’s anything we can do to improve your chances of finding the right match .

Life transforming for me and my dog
my dog became sad and anxious about being alone when her sister died, in addition I started to have to limit my working from home unexpectedly. BorrowmyDoggy was a lifesaver for us all. We have had a few, long term borrowers who love my dog as much as we do. She is happy, I’m delighted. She now has it confirmed what she always thought…. EVERYONE LOVES HER. 😂 Been a member now for 7 years and couldn’t be happier, sure people don’t always respond, thats to be expected and not the website’s fault, persevere.

Hi Alexa Storey,
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.
We’re so sorry to hear about the loss of your dog’s sister, but we’re incredibly glad that BorrowMyDoggy could be there for both of you during such a difficult transition.
It’s heart-warming to hear how having long-term borrowers has helped your dog feel happy, loved, and far less alone and it sounds like she’s absolutely right in her conclusion that everyone loves her!
Seven years as a member is amazing, and we’re so grateful for your trust and for being such a big part of our community. You’re absolutely right too, sometimes it takes a bit of perseverance, but when the right matches come along, it can truly be life-changing.
Thank you again for your kind words, and please give your very special girl a big cuddle from us!

You have to pay £48.99 in one to send and receive messages!
You have to pay £48.99 in one go to be able to send and receive messages, without this you cannot do anything on the site, this is a lot to pay in one go. They should at least allow monthly payments, that would give customers piece of mind, knowing one month you may not find someone but then the next month you could try again, then maybe if you have no joy after 3/4 months you can decide whether to carry on with a small payment of £4.08 per month. They'd have a lot more custom if this was the case and a lot less bad reviews. I am not interested in the 30 day money back if it doesn't work (which is what they will probably reply to this review with), that is no good and as I hear from other reviews some never get the money back! It could take a few months to find a borrower, just allow people to pay monthly!

Hi Melanie,
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.
We really do appreciate the honest feedback.
We completely understand that paying the full £48.99 upfront can feel like a big commitment. The membership includes a full year of access and covers safety features like third-party insurance and 24/7 vetline support, but we know flexibility is important and your feedback around monthly payments is noted and appreciated.
We’d also love to reassure you that our 30-day money-back guarantee is absolutely available to all members, as long as no contact details have been exchanged, and the insurance or vetline haven’t been used, you’re fully eligible for a refund.
And whether you're a free or premium member, we encourage everyone to get in touch with us as soon as they need support, even if it’s on day one.
Our friendly Help Team is always happy to review matches in your local area, offer tips to improve your profile, and even reach out to members on your behalf to help get things moving.
Thank you again for your feedback, it really helps us improve the experience for all our members.

We're also really glad you mentioned the insurance, every premium borrower on our platform is covered with our insurance and 24/7 vet line, giving peace of mind to both owners and borrowers while they enjoy those special moments together.
Thanks again for sharing your experience, we’re so happy to have you as part of the pack.

Throughly recommend
I joined whilst I was furloughed during Covid, due to my schedule being unpredictable at the time, I never got the chance to be matched with anyone.
I rejoined in May 2025, I was matched with a wonderful 1 year golden retriever (who I see pretty much every week and now provide basic recall training for)
Due to my preference of bigger dogs and working with welfare dogs in my profession I have had wonderful messages from owners reaching out.
I would advice new borrowers who are thinking of joining up to pay to become a more active member as owners respond more knowing you are active on the site (just a thought of course)
I took on my second dog (4 year old German Shepherd) in Nov 2025 who’s been a delight to have on the odd overnight stay.
Had nothing but positive energy from BMD, as I cannot own my own dog right now, it’s a great feeling know long you’re able to help out!

Hey Nat,
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.
We have loved hearing about your BorrowMyDoggy journey and what a heartwarming read! 💚
It’s wonderful to hear how you’ve gone from first joining during furlough to now having regular time with not one, but two amazing pups! Your golden retriever and German Shepherd sound like a dream duo, and we’re so glad BorrowMyDoggy could help make those connections possible.
We really appreciate your thoughtful advice for new borrowers, too. Being an active premium member does help owners feel more confident when reaching out, so it’s a pawsome tip!
We’re tail-waggingly happy that the community has brought such positive energy into your life. Thank you for helping dogs and owners alike, it’s truly what our community is all about.

A great way for dog owner and dog borrower to connect
Borrow My Doggy made it easy for me to match up with somebody who needed an extra bit of help with their dog. Premium membership (a fraction over £1 a month for the borrower) means you have 3rd Party and vet insurance, giving you peace of mind, so it's well worth it.
I would recommend Borrow My Doggy to anybody.
