What our members say

“BorrowMyDoggy has given us the sense of being able to enjoy a dog again. To have a dog so close makes a big difference and it gets us out of the house. We’re not asking for money - we love dogs and are not interested in any shape or form in doing this for money.” Rufus' borrowers, Sue and Mel

“I used to take Cherry to work and then my landlord announced she was no longer allowed to be there. I couldn’t afford to send her to a professional dog care place - it would have cost me more than I’m paying for my kids to go to university. BorrowMyDoggy has been a saving grace.” Cherry's owner, Elizabeth

Being so dog friendly, it makes sense that Kensington and Chelsea has some fab places to walk a dog, here are just some of our favourite spots for a game of fetch.

If you’re looking for a nice long dog walk, Hyde Park is one of Central London’s biggest open spaces and the biggest of the four Royal Parks. There is plenty of greenery for four legged and two legged friends to explore and enjoy. The Lido Bar and Cafe & Serpentine Bar and Kitchen also have a great selection of snacks available as well as water bowls ready for thirsty post walk pups.

Kensington Gardens

It’s designed with pooches in mind,  as you press for water at the top, the doggy drinking area is also filled below – wagnificent.

While local British pubs are always an option, what sets Kensington and Chelsea apart is their warm acceptance of pups in their white tablecloth establishments.

Egerton House hotel

This five star hotel is considered by many as one of the most luxe London has on offer. Although they are super fancy, they have kept their values in check. They encourage doggy guests and to prove it they have a bunch of pooch friendly perks to help make sure your pets experience is pawtastic. From pup friendly afternoon tea, a grooming service, toys, treats and even a pet concierge this place really is a dog’s dream.

Most would assume that fancy English tea’s are typically pup free. But Ampersand lets you splurge on innovative pastries and finger sandwiches with your pup by your side. While the environment is that of a beautiful English drawing room and the tea some of the best England has on offer, they have managed to keep things cozy.

The Builders Arms
