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 dog time and owners get the peace of mind that their dog is having fun.
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 it was up to most dog owners, they’d take their pup everywhere with them but we know that isn’t always pawsible and sometimes you’ll need to look for a dog sitter in Devon. BorrowMyDoggy differs from kennels in Devon as each and every one of our borrowers look after dogs simply for the love of dogs, rather than to get paid.
Have you considered borrowing a dog in Devon? There are lots of dogs that would love an extra walk or belly rub so why not create a profile and see if there are any pawsome matches nearby.
You can view lots more BorrowMyDoggy reviews and other member stories on our testimonials page.

Loved by locals and holiday makers alike, this walk is extremely enjoyable and is mostly flat which makes for a leisurely afternoon stroll. The entire walk is 32 miles but you may not want to do all 32 miles in one go, so you can do it in stages and stop off for a drink or snack beside the sea whilst taking in the scenery.
If your pup likes a forest adventure with plenty of twisting trails and squirrels to chase then Haldon Forest Park is the walk for you. With miles upon miles of trails winding through the forest and a good amount of off-lead areas so your pup can run off some energy. There are over 3,500 acres to explore, so your pooch is sure to be tired after a visit here!
