Why did you join BorrowMyDoggy?

I joined BorrowMyDoggy because I missed the presence and company of a dog for a number of years, I grew up with dogs as a child, however with work commitments plus having a family cat I never imagined having a dog arrive into our lives so soon, that was until my Wife introduced me to BorrowMyDoggy!

How has your BorrowMyDoggy experience changed your life?

Since Monty has been in our lives for the past month or so he has brought so much happiness not only to our own home life through his playful humble nature, playing fetch until our hearts content along with enjoying long walks and socializing with our extended family who all love their time with him.

How have you benefited from being a BorrowMyDoggy member?

We met loads more people locally who also loved dogs as well which is nice. Cookie has met lots of people and dogs through the site, especially families, thus getting her used to children (with sensible parents supervising of course) great for her because she has a little fan club/ extended family now.

What's been the biggest surprise for you in being part of our community?

Being able to get out and about walking a dog when it fits into our schedule has been refreshing. I travel to work on a bike so my early and 1700hrs commutes would have limited my time with a dog, but the balance of being able to collect Monty at 6-7pm on a weekday for a few hours of walking and play have been refreshingly delightsome.

Let us know if you have anything else you'd like to share about your experience!

I never imagined there was such a thing as borrowing dogs. It's such a fabulous idea for anyone who wants to have some company of a furry friend but without the full time commitment of being the sole owner of a dog. Nice one BorrowMyDoggy!

I previously had a Labrador as teenager and I was heartbroken when he passed away. I felt unable to get another dog as he was the family’s everything.
