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.
We are passionate about helping borrowers get special dog time, dogs get more love and exercise and owners get the peace of mind that their four legged friend is having fun. We aim to make sure dogs get the care, attention and exercise they deserve, while connecting local people through the love of dogs. So whether you are looking for an alternative to kennels in Newcastle or a more affordable option than a dog sitter, we’re here to help.
Sometimes (dare we say it), plans get arranged that don’t involve your four legged friend and you are left to look for dog day care or a dog sitter in Newcastle. There are many options for doggy day care, but have you considered BorrowMyDoggy? Why not join the community and connect with one of our local borrowers who would love to spend time with your dog, not for payment, but for the love of dogs!
Maybe you are unable to have a dog of your own but would love to borrow a dog in Newcastle? BorrowMyDoggy connects borrowers with owners (and their gorgeous pup’s) that need help with dog care. BorrowMyDoggy is a community of dog lovers created to benefit owners with day care, help borrowers fill the dog shaped hole in their lives and of course provide extra walks for pups.
You can view lots more BorrowMyDoggy reviews and other member stories on our testimonials page.
Newcastle upon Tyne is a city on the River Tyne in northeast England, known best for its buzzy nightlife. Not so well known but equally lovely, are all the dog walks in Newcastle as well as the pup friendly establishments dotted around - we’ve listed some of our faves below.
If you are dog walking in Newcastle, a great place to start is Leazes Park - the city’s oldest park and the perfect place to walk a dog. The park is built around a beautiful lake, so you can relax and take in the scenery while your pooch has a quick swim. There are also tennis courts and a bowling green nearby if you’re feeling sporty!
Located to the north of the city, close to the high street and shopping centre, this park is fairly small at only 7 acres. Despite its size, it’s still a great spot to walk a dog in Newcastle. It offers respite from the bustle of the city and also comes complete with bandstand and tennis courts.
This beautiful nature reserve is another reclaimed piece of land. Formerly a quarry and brickworks, this site is now a marvellous place to enjoy the outdoors. The space is great for off-lead exercise for your dog or just a calm stroll while you enjoy the range of flowers and wildlife.
If like a lot of dog owners you don’t want to leave your pooch behind when you pop out for lunch, Brandling Villa has you covered. They have their own dog menu inclusive of Sunday dinner and two resident canines of their own. Dog beer and treats also available from the bar. Pawsome!
If you’re looking for a lovely beer garden as well as some traditional home cooked food head to the Red Kite. Treats and water are provided for four legged friends which are a perfect combination after a stroll along the Red Kite trail.

Serving up treats for both two legged and four legged friends, you’re almost guaranteed to find something you like, from muffins to pupcakes and doggie popcorn. There is also a dedicated pup creche where your dog can socialise, play on grass and pick from a range of fun toys.
