BorrowMyDoggy connects dog owners with dog borrowers for walks, weekends or happy holidays. Borrowers get special pup time, owners get the peace of mind that their pooch is having fun and dogs get more love and exercise.
Our goal as a company is pretty simple: we aim to make sure dogs get the care, attention and exercise they deserve while connecting local people through the love of dogs.

If you’ve previously looked for doggy day care in Aberdeen you’ll know there are many options.

Although it would be lovely to have your dog with you at all times, sometimes we know it isn’t possible and you’ll need to find a dog sitter.

This cafe was started when Big Gav, an adorable dachshund (long dog), couldn’t find a place to relax and get warm on a cold rainy day in Aberdeen. Therefore, his owner created a cafe for him. Set in the West End of Aberdeen the cafe offers a friendly and relaxing environment for you to meet for coffee, brunch or a spot of lunch. All dogs are welcome as long as they are accompanied by a well behaved owner.
From morning to evening, this place serves up healthy, locally-sourced food for all dietary requirements. If you are vegetarian or vegan - this is where you should go.
