I loved that I could choose dogs (and owners) to connect with.
I’ve totally enjoyed bonding with a cocker spaniel pup and would recommend BorrowMyDoggy to anyone wanting to help out with walks and able to dog sit.

Nice idea (borrower) but despite only being on the site a few weeks i have had messages asking me to look after dogs for up to 14 days over Christmas ! I’d hoped for a gradual relationship with a doggie family not just an up front request for such a long period of time I have however walked a couple of lovely doggies and hope to carry on doing that on a more regular basis and maybe once I get to know a family I’d be happy to have their dog in my home.

We have a little Cavachon who is very sociable and loves children. We are two retired people, so it’s lovely to have a delightful family with a five-year old coming to take him out once a week.

Just so happy to be part of this two- way community. Helping people & fixing my longing for a dog. Perfect solution. Thankyou.

I tried to join on their website but it would not work. So I then attempted to speak to someone on their number...for days I have been messaging...sending emails...plus have rang at least a dozen times and each time it goes straight to voicemail stating someone would ring me back...I have not had any response whatsoever to all my requests and am.beginning to wonder if this is a genuine company....

Having spent time looking at the site and satisfying ourselves that there were plenty of interested people in our area we signed up. We then had a few people get in contact, we also got in touch with likely 'dog borrowers' for our small spaniel. Then nothing....we got back in touch with people who had shown interest in meeting our dog but still no responses. This was not just one or two people this was close to 10 people. Not sure what the issue is but we are certainly unsatisfied with our experience to date.
As soon as I registered the doggies in my area appeared on the app, there were even some I recognised!
A few owners contacted me asking for help with their dogs but then I matched with a local dog. This scheme is such a brilliant idea, all the benefits, cuddles, exercise, fresh air without any commitment! I have recommended it to so many people.

This site is such a great idea
I cant have my own dog for a number of reasons. It took a little while - maybe 8 weeks - to make a match but since I met my dog and owner its been wonderful. I love walking Penny and its been so good for my physical and mental health to get out in the countryside with this gorgeous dog.

I've met some great people and dogs, it's been so good for my mental health since the sad loss of my own dog last year.

After a full year of membership, I have not had one willing match.
Waste of money.
I recommend reaching out to friends, family and community, it's those that got me through a difficult period when I couldn't walk my dogs.
This service of insurance with an online profile, that you write, will only work if you have willing and active members on your door step registered with borrow my doggy.
For me, my £48 would have been better used elsewhere.

Signed up for there premier service £49.99 for a year.
Contacted 3 people, 1 person replied in my 1st day of joining. We exchanged a few texts. I offered the person the opportunity to meet my dog by supplying my name and address. The lady never got back to me.
And borrow my doggy will not refund my £49.99 as we exchanged texts.
0 stars is too good!
Avoid this dog shit company.
No intention of refunding my money.
RIP OFF SCAM COMPANY !!!

This is a lovely, well-run site for
dog owners and borrowers. It’s run on love not money and as a dog lover who has lost her own dog, I find it very rewarding and honoured to be entrusted with someone else’s pet for
a short while and when convenient to me.
With its meet and greet option prior to boarding, it gives you a chance to see if the dog is comfortable and whether a good fit for your home.
All the owners and dogs I have had the good fortune to meet via this site are amazing!
The staff are always available if you have any queries.
Highly recommend to pet loving carers and those looking for dog care.

Complete waste of money. Every borrower I connected with and made plans to meet up with flaked. This is the second time I've tried this service, and the second time was even more of a waste than the first. Avoid, total rip-off!

Through Borrow My Doggie I have met two lovely owners and am walking and spending time with their dogs. Both dogs are well mannered and it was really helpful to photos of dogs and owners first on the website. I have lots of time whereas their owners don't and it is lovely to be able to help people out and enjoy time with theirs dogs. Everyone is a winner.

Good information so can see if Good fit with a potential client and their dog
Borrowmydoggy seems like a great idea but my experience is that it is not a reality. I've connected with several people about their dogs and not heard from any of them. The fact you have to pay the years subscription upfront makes me suspicious now.

After my dog recently passed, I really missed having the walks and the company a dog brings into my life.
After some searching online I came across this great website and have met some lovely people; I am now walking two dogs at different times of the week..
Really easy to set up an account; I have opted for a premium membership, which gives greater access to more dogs.
If you are looking to get a dog for the first time or are in a similar to myself; I would definitely recommend this site and the people on it.

I absolutely adore BorrowMyDoggy …. I can meet so many new friends and enjoy the fresh air …

Borrow My Doggy is genius. It's as simple as it could possibly be, no bureaucracy to follow, you're just left to connect and make your own arrangements to meet up.
For someone like me, who can't have a dog of my own at the moment, the opportunity to share someone else's dog - and for them to know that their dog is in good hands when they're away or busy - is brilliant.
Give it a go, there is literally nothing to lose and you might create a lovely little canine match.

I have met the loveliest lady and her beautiful dog. I look forward to meeting up with them and look after the gentlest soul ever, who loves his walks, as I do. I would so recommend joining Borrow my doggy for anyone who is lonely or just missing having a dog in their life after losing theirs as I did 18mths ago.
