BorrowMyDoggy is a different way of thinking about dog care. Instead of booking set times that you pay for we'll help you find someone near you to be a friend to your pooch, someone who loves nothing more than spending time with your pup; providing extra walks, company, love and attention - or whatever they need.
How can I trust them?
You and your pup can really get to know local borrowers before you decide whether to trust them to look after your pooch. Whatever your reason for needing some extra help, take your time, go on walks together and visit each other's houses before you make up your mind.
All Premium members have to pass our safety checks, are covered by our insurance and have access to our 24/7 vet line as well.
What's in it for them?Our members use BorrowMyDoggy to get help with their dogs for so many different reasons. Here’s just a few:
A new addition to the family can mean that owners would love some extra attention for their dog.
Sometimes a change in an owner’s health can mean that they need a little help with their dog’s exercise.
A change to working hours might mean that an owner really appreciates extra love for their dog.
Dogs love to stay with their favourite borrower while their owner is away instead of in kennels.
Every owner sometimes needs to do something that they can’t take their dog to - borrowers can help.
If life is hectic then owners might just need some down time to relax without their furry friend.
They may have a lot going on and be relieved to know that their dog has plenty of love and attention.
Whatever other reason they have, owners love seeing the joy their dog brings to borrowers!
Borrowers are local people who love dogs and really want to spend time with them. They're not professional dog walkers and don't charge to look after your dog, they just do it for the love of dogs.
For a variety of reasons it may not be the right time for them to have their own dog so they are looking for that rewarding dog time in a different way. Talk about what your pup needs to find an arrangement that works for you, your borrower and of course your furry friend too!
What members sayOur members become borrowers for so many different reasons. Here’s just a few:
Some borrowers are students living away from home and missing their family dog.
Some want to teach children about safe behaviour around dogs and love of a furry friend.
Some find that spending time with a dog gives their mental and physical health a real boost.
Maybe they’re planning to own a dog and want to see if they are ready to commit or try a particular breed.
It could be that they’re renting and can't have pups at home right now but they just love dogs.
Maybe they can't commit to the cost of a dog at the moment but need that canine connection in their life.
Maybe they have too many work or other commitments to take on a dog full time.
Whatever other reason they have, we know that spending time with a dog inspires joy and happiness!
Knowing that she’s in company that I trust is massive, I don’t need to think about it. It’s brilliant - having someone close by that will have her for two or three hours or longer, and will walk her and she’s being stimulated.
