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 pooch is having fun.
Our goal as a company is pretty simple: we aim to make sure pups get the care, attention and exercise they deserve while connecting local people through the love of dogs.
Whether you’re looking for dog day care in North London or would like to take care of a pup, we might be able to help. If you have looked for day care previously, you will know there are many options out there, but BorrowMyDoggy differs slightly from kennels in North London. BorrowMyDoggy is a community of dog lovers and dogs, that exists purely to help share the care of a dog, for no other reason than for the love of dogs.
It would be great if you could take your pooch everywhere with you, but we know sometimes that just isn’t possible and you’ll need to find a dog sitter. Our borrowers absolutely love spending time with dogs and don’t do it to be paid, they do it just because they enjoy spending quality time with a pooch.
You can view lots more BorrowMyDoggy reviews and other member stories on our testimonials page.
