BorrowMyDoggy Reviews | Rating 3.7 out of 5 stars (5 reviews)

BorrowMyDoggy is located in London, United Kingdom on 6, 8 Cole St. BorrowMyDoggy is rated 3.7 out of 5 in the category dog walker in United Kingdom. Connecting dog owners with local dog borrowers for walks, weekends and holidays.|BorrowMyDoggy connects dog owners with trusted local people who would love to look after their dog. We make it easy to arrange walks, playtime, overnight stays or holidays. Our aim is to help dog owners when they need it, provide new and healthy experiences for their dogs and to allow people without a dog to spend quality time with one. Rikke Rosenlund founded BorrowMyDoggy in 2012 after taking care of a neighbour’s dog “Aston” for the day. She soon realised that dog owners could use a helping paw looking after their dog, and that there were thousands of people, just like her, who would like to take care of a dog, simply because they love dogs. BorrowMyDoggy is now the most active online communities of dog lovers, with over 500,000 members throughout the UK and Ireland. We’ve successfully connected thousands of owners and borrowers and the business is going from strength to strength. Over 8 million people own a dog in the UK and Ireland. Dog owners come in all shapes and sizes - they could be families, retired people, students, professionals and more. Some may have gone through life changes, which drive their need for help - having a baby, moving house, changing job or maybe relationship changes. “Owners should be aware of the huge bene ts that BorrowMyDoggy can bring to their dog. The positive psychological impact on the dog is the biggest thing that owners won’t realise un l they do it.“ Our Borrowers are often unable to own a dog, but just want to spend some time with one for the love of dogs, not money. They could also be trialing caring for a dog before buying one - it’s a great way to test the water, especially with different breeds. It’s also a wonderful opportunity to test your kids with a dog, too. “I grew up with dogs all my life, but when I moved, I had to leave my two Dalmatians behind with my family. Work commitments and an inflexible rental agreement mean I can’t have a dog of my own.” Sign up today at BorrowMyDoggy.com,Connecting dog owners with local dog borrowers for walks, weekends and holidays.|BORROWMYDOGGY LIMITED is a consumer services company based out of SECOND FLOOR CARDIFF HOUSE TILLING ROAD, LONDON, United Kingdom.

We love Borrow my Doggy and it has provided so much joy since September when we signed up. Initially we didn’t hear back from any owners, but I emailed borrow my doggy directly and they helped us find 3 active users, who I then heard back from straight away! We have a twice weekly commitment to walk the wonderful Darcy who is an utter joy. We have also walked another couple of dogs on a more informal basis as and when required. Thank you borrow my doggy for being amazing and helping fill the dog sized gap in our lives!

I recently joined the premium membership as a volunteer dog walker. Took about 4 weeks to find a suitable match however it was worth the wait as I’ve been walking Marnie & Ted 3 times a week for the last 4 weeks and they are an absolute pleasure. Fabulous app however please don’t waste your time setting up a profile if you don’t intend to pay the premium membership as you a dog owner or walker. You may not be able to respond or see messages. Thank you borrow my doggy.com for an amazing app.

Don't waste your money! I joined this in the hope of my son being able to meet and walk some dogs (he loves animals). Not a single person responded back to us, and I've never been contacted by anyone either. Save your money and put a shout out on social media instead, someone will know someone with a dog. Absolute waste of time, effort and money.

What a joy to have found this site. Check the site first and make sure there are enough dogs near you that are premium members. This means you can contact the owner. I found 1/2 dozen dogs near me within 1 mile radius. I joined, wrote a bio and messaged 2 initially. Within 48 hours, I was walking the first dog. The second owner did not respond, which is their prerogative. There could be a multitude of reasons why people don't and it shouldn't be taken personally. But after a few weeks, the first dog moved away for unforeseen circumstances. So I went back on the site and found another one almost as easily and was walking this one the next day. This is a brilliant concept and even in Covid time, there are plenty of dogs out there with owners that can't always give them the exercise they need. It's a great way to test your own skills with a pet before getting one as well. A dog requires commitment and walks in all weather. Can you apply the command consistently and get him to respond to you? If you can't do both of these, then getting your own dog is probably not the best idea. For us (who can't have any pet in our flat) it's an absolute pleasure to be able to borrow someone else's pet and get so much of the benefits! Congrats to the creators and happy dog walking to every one else :-)

This is such a brilliant idea. I've looked for so long wanting to join and finally had the chance this year and now have a lovely dog to walk and spend time with, along with a wonderful owner. Can't fault it. This site makes everything so easy
