I’ve met several lovely borrowers on borrow my doggy. I’ve been on it a few years now. I’ve found that sometimes there’s hardly anyone available, then 3 come along at once! So it’s worth bearing with... See more

How this company uses Trustpilot
See how their reviews and ratings are sourced, scored, and moderated.
After a full year of membership, I have not had one willing match.
Waste of money.
I recommend reaching out to friends, family and community, it's those that got me through a difficult period when I couldn't walk my dogs.
This service of insurance with an online profile, that you write, will only work if you have willing and active members on your door step registered with borrow my doggy.
For me, my £48 would have been better used elsewhere.

Signed up for there premier service £49.99 for a year.
Contacted 3 people, 1 person replied in my 1st day of joining. We exchanged a few texts. I offered the person the opportunity to meet my dog by supplying my name and address. The lady never got back to me.
And borrow my doggy will not refund my £49.99 as we exchanged texts.
0 stars is too good!
Avoid this dog shit company.
No intention of refunding my money.
RIP OFF SCAM COMPANY !!!

This is a lovely, well-run site for
dog owners and borrowers. It’s run on love not money and as a dog lover who has lost her own dog, I find it very rewarding and honoured to be entrusted with someone else’s pet for
a short while and when convenient to me.
With its meet and greet option prior to boarding, it gives you a chance to see if the dog is comfortable and whether a good fit for your home.
All the owners and dogs I have had the good fortune to meet via this site are amazing!
The staff are always available if you have any queries.
Highly recommend to pet loving carers and those looking for dog care.

Complete waste of money. Every borrower I connected with and made plans to meet up with flaked. This is the second time I've tried this service, and the second time was even more of a waste than the first. Avoid, total rip-off!

Through Borrow My Doggie I have met two lovely owners and am walking and spending time with their dogs. Both dogs are well mannered and it was really helpful to photos of dogs and owners first on the website. I have lots of time whereas their owners don't and it is lovely to be able to help people out and enjoy time with theirs dogs. Everyone is a winner.

Effective replies
Good information so can see if Good fit with a potential client and their dog
Borrowmydoggy seems like a great idea but my experience is that it is not a reality. I've connected with several people about their dogs and not heard from any of them. The fact you have to pay the years subscription upfront makes me suspicious now.

After my dog recently passed, I really missed having the walks and the company a dog brings into my life.
After some searching online I came across this great website and have met some lovely people; I am now walking two dogs at different times of the week..
Really easy to set up an account; I have opted for a premium membership, which gives greater access to more dogs.
If you are looking to get a dog for the first time or are in a similar to myself; I would definitely recommend this site and the people on it.

Borrow My Doggy is genius. It's as simple as it could possibly be, no bureaucracy to follow, you're just left to connect and make your own arrangements to meet up.
For someone like me, who can't have a dog of my own at the moment, the opportunity to share someone else's dog - and for them to know that their dog is in good hands when they're away or busy - is brilliant.
Give it a go, there is literally nothing to lose and you might create a lovely little canine match.

I have met the loveliest lady and her beautiful dog. I look forward to meeting up with them and look after the gentlest soul ever, who loves his walks, as I do. I would so recommend joining Borrow my doggy for anyone who is lonely or just missing having a dog in their life after losing theirs as I did 18mths ago.

Borrow my doggy is an invaluable service for pet owners who have to go work. My borrower is a lovely genuine lady who takes care of my pooch for a few hours during the day. This reassures me that he’s not on his own and is being cared for and walked by genuine dog lovers, who offer this service voluntarily and without a hefty price tag - in fact, there is no fee to pay except the joining fee (which is worth every penny of its meagre charge). These lovely people are obviously committed dog lovers who do it for the pure love of dogs. I am amazed at their generosity and kindness - so glad I found you! Thank you.

Through BorrowMyDoggy we have met and befriended some lovely people who all truly love our dog Willow.
As well as them helping us out when we need a dog sitter, we also help them out by allowing Willow to spend time with them if they want to go for a walk.
It works both ways!

I had a really good response, so much so I had to de activate for the time being as I ended up nearly every day with a dog. I have kept a few people that I still take dog for walk mostly when owner is going to be out for the day.
Walking other people’s dogs helped me get over the lose of mine

I joined in May 2025 and it took about 4 months before I was contacted. I have been lucky to look after two beautiful dogs of which I am in regular contact with. The owners have been lovely too. It’s been a great experience so far and I’d highly recommend doing it and also contacting as many owners as you can in the beginning so that you can get noticed.

I was hesitant about "lending" my dog but now I am thrilled. It's been great for my dog and borrower. The bond between them is so good. There are great friends now. He visits one day a week and the borrower is less lonely working from home, her kids have been able to experience "owning" a dog and my dog is more confident with strangers. Everyone wins!

An amazing facility! I've been missing doggy company for quite some time now but unfortunately I'm not in the situation to be able to commit full time to owner ship. Registration and verification is a simple process and there's lots of ideas about what to put in your profile. I did all this and within a week I've connected to an adorable Daxi who will be coming to visit me for cuddles and walks at least once a week. The Daxi owner is also delighted as she knows her little one is being safe and being treated well while she has some away time. It's a win win all round. Everything on this site is user friendly, well put together and 100% fun

I've been a doggy borrower since 2022, & have found it to be an Excellent/Essential/Extraordinary platform to make connections between owners & borrowers. All my email queries were responded to promptly, resolved any small issues, & done in very friendly way... I had more time to borrow & walk & play with & cuddle, of course, the doggos I borrowed back then, & im quite busy in health care field currently, however im currently in tge process of looking for a doggo to borrow some times.... you may need to give the owners some time to respond, & if they don't respond timely, try to connect with another one. Be clear how available you are, & make sure tge fit between all tge humans, & all tge doggies is great. Happy Borrowing!

When my last dog died I decided not to replace her because a dog is quite a tie. I thought, "I'd get another if I could just put it in a cupboard when I didn't want to be tied." Then along came BorrowMy Doggie. The perfect answer. I can take dogs for walks when I like and even have them for sleepovers. Perfick!

Matching people and pooches that live locally makes a huge difference. I've had a really pleasant experience meeting a georgous little dog and her owners are lovely too. With photos and details of the dog, and their expectations, you can see if it will work for you and your lifestyle. We went for a walk together with the owner and the dog to further gain trust, which is really important for the owner. So it's worked out well.
