What our members say

“I started working at my local vets, which is where I first met Bart the Springer Spaniel. Later on, Bart's owners recognised me on BorrowMyDoggy and asked if I'd like to walk him on my days off work. Now, he's always so excited to see me and the instant friendship is something you can't buy. It's like having a new best friend! I love the community vibe you get with BorrowMyDoggy, which makes you feel safe and welcome and I'm looking forward to many more walks with Bart, and hopefully other doggies in the future.” Bart’s borrower, Beckie.

"Cassie is a rescue dog and would not have coped in a kennel environment when we were on holiday. So we decided to try BorrowMyDoggy. We found some fabulous people who live very locally. Having the peace of mind that your dog is being cared for in a family environment rather than a kennel is brilliant. BorrowMyDoggy is the answer to my prayers. It is so easy to use and Cassie comes home contented and happy." Cassie's owner, Sue
