What our members say

“I found it very difficult trying to balance work, life and puppy care. We have been part of the community for several years now and have met such lovely people. I've found the enthusiasm borrowers have for walks with Honey, really uplifts me, they love my dogs joyous greetings, the free time I gain is a huge blessing, my dog has lots of play time so we are all happy!” - Honey Blossom's owner, Sally.

"My son and daughter are desperate for a dog and BorrowMyDoggy has truly allowed our family to 'have a dog'. Now, we borrow Ruby, and she's become such a big part of our family - it's almost as if she's our own. She has her own bed, blanket, food bowls and toys at our house for when she comes to stay and she even came on holiday with us! Ruby's family are so like ours - we have so much in common. We've spent time together just as families, not just because of Ruby." - Ruby's borrower, Leeanne.
