What our members say

“It was such a good idea to start lending out our dog, Ozzie, while he was still a puppy as he's become a very sociable dog as a result. Due to a change in my work situation, I didn’t have a lot of time for regular, long walks for him, so it's been great to find a couple of people who love taking him out two or three times a week, sometimes keeping him overnight. Ozzie has developed really well, especially with his behaviour since he's been with the borrowers” Ozzie’s owner, Julia

“Little did we know that when we met our borrowed dog, Benji, what an impact he would have on us. Our work commitments don’t allow us to have a dog, yet we have always loved them. Benji is such a character and every time we see him he does something to make us smile. He also really enjoys walking for miles, which is exactly what we wanted in our four legged friend. It's so lovely that they have put their trust in us to do the best for Benji, which we love to do.” Benji’s borrower, Joanne
