Connecting dog owners with local dog borrowers for walks, weekends and holidays.
BorrowMyDoggy is an online platform dedicated to connecting dog owners with dog borrowers for walks, weekends or happy holidays. BorrowMyDoggy is passionate about helping pups get more love and exercise, borrowers get special pup time and owners get the peace of mind that their four legged friend is having fun.
Our goal as a company is pretty simple: we aim to make sure pups get the care, attention and exercise they deserve while connecting local people through the love of dogs.
We know that given the choice you’d take your pup everywhere with you but sometimes that isn’t possible and you’ll need to look for a dog walker in Basingstoke. Why not join a community of dog lovers instead and find a lovely local borrower to shower your dog with attention.
Rather than searching for dog day care or kennels in Basingstoke, why not match with a local dog lover. All of our borrowers look after dogs simply because they love them rather than to make money, which is pretty pawsome! Creating a profile and browsing our members is totally free and you could be closer to finding a tail waggingly good match for your pup.

Are you looking for some new dog walks in Basingstoke? We’ve listed a few of our favourites below to help you get started.
If your pup needs a good run out and doesn’t mind a bit of mud then why not head to Basingstoke Common. Whether your pooch is a fetch fiend or likes socialising with other dogs there is perfect opportunity to do both. The views are lovely and there are plenty of pubs to visit nearby, as well as free parking. All in all a great place to walk a dog in Basingstoke!
A great picnic spot to visit with your pooch is Eastrop Park. An easy walk from the town centre and shops, there is a water feature and a small boating lake where you can hire rowing boats and your pup can take a dip if he likes to swim. Stop off at the cafe to refuel or grab a well deserved post walkies ice-cream.
There are many routes to take depending on your energy levels with a mixture of terrain, from tall trees and grasslands to woodlands and a lovely picnic area. Your pup will enjoy chasing squirrels and exploring the undergrowth in the forest area and there is plenty of shade if it’s a hot day.
A quiet oasis in the heart of a busy town. This park is well maintained and great for a game of fetch or frisbee due to the amount of open space available. Events are often held here throughout the year so make sure to check what’s going on before you visit. There is also a children’s playground, tennis courts, BMX track and an aviary making it a fun destination for family fun!
With both a traditional and tropical menu offering standard pub grub with a Caribbean twist there are plenty of great food options to pick from. Pups are welcome and you can enjoy the comfort of a real log fire in winter or soak up the sunshine in the outside seating area. The Fox Inn have a selection of board games available as well as their very own skittle alley, so there’s plenty to keep you amused!
