Why did you join BorrowMyDoggy?

Lockdown was easing up and I had developed the habit of walking to St James’s and Hyde Parks. I was offering my devices to anyone who was possibly less mobile and wanted their beloved pet walked. Instead I got a 26 year old starting his first job with the most adorable Yorkshire Terrier . I have been looking after Timmy one day a week for over 4 years and absolutely adore him. His owner and I are also good friends.

How has your BorrowMyDoggy experience changed your life?

I really look forward to my one day a week with Timmy as he’s so adorable and always seems really pleased to have his day with me.

How have you benefited from being a BorrowMyDoggy member?

Being single and travelling a lot and with a busy social calendar I wouldn’t have the time to devote to my own dog. Having Timmy one day a week is perfect.

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

How well Borrow my Doggie works for owner and pet alike.

After losing our own dog we didn’t feel ready to have another dog of our own but missed having a dog in the house. We soon met up with Mr. T.

It’s made my life better knowing that I have trusted people to look after my fur baby whilst I’m away knowing he’s happy with them.
