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 dogs get more love and exercise, borrowers get special dog time and dog 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.
Have you recently looked for a dog sitter in Dorset? It can be overwhelming with all of the options available but instead of popping your furry friend into kennels in Dorset why not find a pawsome two legged friend for him. Your pup gets an extra walk, you get the help you need and the borrower gets to spend some quality time with a gorgeous dog, it’s a win-win (or woof-woof) situation.
Our borrowers look after dogs simply for the love of dogs rather than to get paid, which is pretty wagtastic. Maybe you’d love a dog but can’t have your own, why not borrow a dog in Dorset instead? Creating a profile and browsing our members is totally free and you never know, you could be only a tail wag away from the pawfect match.
You can view lots more BorrowMyDoggy reviews and other member stories on our testimonials page.
