After a full year of membership

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.

Hi Melanie Chaston,

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.

We’re really sorry to hear that you didn’t find a match during your year with us. We completely understand that finding the right support is so important, especially during challenging times, and it’s fair to want to feel that your membership offers real value. Our help team are on hand to help support all our members with their accounts.

BorrowMyDoggy is designed to help members build local, trusted connections and because every match depends on location, availability and preferences, the experience can vary. Some members find a great fit quickly, while for others it can take a little more time.

Just so you’re aware, all members can sign up for free to browse local profiles in their area before choosing to upgrade. That way, it’s easier to see whether there are suitable owners or borrowers nearby for the type of arrangement you’re looking for.

We’ve sent a request via Trustpilot for your account details and would be happy to take a look and offer support.

Hi Jason Smith,

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.

We’re sorry to hear that things didn’t go as you’d hoped after joining the community. BorrowMyDoggy is designed to help members make local connections, and while every match is unique, we always aim for positive and meaningful experiences on both sides.

Just to clarify, once contact details have been exchanged with another member, a refund is no longer possible. This is because the purpose of the community, to create trusted connections between dog lovers, has been fulfilled. Sharing contact details means you're able to arrange a match offline, whether now or in the future, even if the first conversation doesn’t progress right now.

We’ve sent a request via Trustpilot for your account details so we can support you further and help you get the most out of your membership. If you're happy to respond, we’d love to help you find a better match.

Wonderful site

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.

We’re so pleased to hear how much you’re enjoying being part of the BorrowMyDoggy community. It means a lot to know that the experience has brought you joy and a renewed connection with dogs after losing your own, what a lovely way to share your time and care.

You’ve highlighted so many parts of the platform that we care deeply about, from the meet and greet process that helps ensure a good fit, to the rewarding connections built on trust and mutual love for dogs. We're delighted to hear that the owners and pups you’ve met have been amazing and that you’ve felt supported by our team when needed.

Thank you for your kind words and for being such a thoughtful borrower. We’re so happy to have you in the pack.

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!

Hi Maria McMahon,

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.

We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t go as expected. We understand it can be really discouraging when plans with borrowers don’t progress, especially when you're actively trying to connect.

While many of our members build great local relationships, we know that not every match leads to a meet-up straight away. Every experience is unique, and we always aim to support our community in finding the right fit.

We’d really like the opportunity to look into this further. We previously reached out via Trustpilot to request your account details so we could help directly, but we’ve not yet received a reply. If you’re happy to get in touch, we’d be glad to follow up.

A success all around.

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.

We’re so happy to hear that you’ve connected with not just one but two lovely owners and their well-mannered pups. It sounds like you’ve found the perfect match for your availability and love of dogs, which is exactly what BorrowMyDoggy is all about.

It’s great to hear you found the profiles and photos on our platform helpful. We’ve designed these to help members get a feel for each other before reaching out, making the first connection feel that bit easier. And knowing that everyone involved benefits, dogs, owners and borrowers, really makes our tails wag.

Thank you for being such a caring and generous part of our community. These small acts of kindness, like sharing your time, make a big difference in the lives of both dogs and their humans.

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

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.

Hi Neil Spalding,

We're truly sorry to hear about the loss of your dog, that kind of companionship is irreplaceable, and we understand how much it can leave a space in your life.

We're really glad BorrowMyDoggy has helped bring some joy back into your routine and introduced you to lovely people (and pups!) along the way.

It's wonderful to hear you’re now walking two dogs, that sounds like a real win-win or should we say woof-woof!

Thanks also for highlighting how easy it was to get started, we’re always working to keep things simple and welcoming for everyone.

We’re so happy to have you as part of the community.

Hi maggie m,

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.

We’re over the moon to hear how much you adore BorrowMyDoggy, and it’s brilliant to know it’s bringing more joy, fresh air, and friendly connections into your life.

One of the things we love most about our community is how it helps people feel more connected, whether it's with fellow dog lovers or with a four-legged companion who adds a little extra spark to the day. It’s heartwarming to know that you're getting out, meeting new friends, and enjoying the outdoors – all with a waggy-tailed pal by your side.

We’re so glad to have you as part of the pack and really appreciate you sharing your experience.

Borrow My Doggy is genius

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.

We’re absolutely thrilled you think BorrowMyDoggy is genius!

It’s great to hear that you’ve found the experience simple and hassle-free, that’s exactly what we aim for.

We completely understand how tough it can be not having a dog of your own, and it’s lovely to know BorrowMyDoggy is giving you the chance to enjoy time with a furry friend. At the same time, dog owners gain real peace of mind knowing their pup is being loved and well looked after, it really is a win-win (or should we say woof-woof!).

Thanks for spreading the woof! We hope your story inspires more people to discover those special doggy connections.

Hi Jack & Henry,

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.

We're so sorry to hear about the loss of your own dog. That kind of loss is always so sad, and it’s incredibly moving to hear how you’ve found a new kind connection through BorrowMyDoggy.

We’re thrilled you’ve met such a lovely owner and their beautiful pup, it sounds like a really special match. There’s something very comforting about spending time with a dog who enjoys the same things you do, like long, peaceful walks.

One of our biggest hopes is to bring people together through a shared love of dogs, especially for those who might be feeling a little lonely or missing the joy that a dog brings to daily life.

It means the world to us that you’d recommend BorrowMyDoggy to others in a similar place.

Invaluable Genuine Service for dogs and their owners

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.

Hi Rache,

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.

We are absolutely delighted to hear how much reassurance and peace of mind BorrowMyDoggy has brought you and your pooch.

It is truly wonderful to know that your borrower is offering such loving care during the day. The kindness, generosity and commitment shown by borrowers in our community never cease to amaze us. Many do it purely for the joy of spending time with a dog, and your words perfectly capture the spirit of what makes BorrowMyDoggy so special.

Our mission has always been to create a trusted and genuine way for dog lovers to connect, one that supports owners, brings joy to borrowers and, of course, keeps dogs happy, cared for and wagging their tails. It is always a win win or woof woof, and we are so glad to hear it has been just that for you.

Thank you for being part of the pack. We are so happy you found us.

Perfect combination!

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!

Hi Johnandlinda Webb,

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.

It’s wonderful to hear how BorrowMyDoggy has helped you build meaningful friendships with people who genuinely care for your pup. That mutual support, whether it’s helping out with dog sitting or simply enjoying shared walks, is exactly the kind of connection we love to see in our community.

BorrowMyDoggy was created to bring dog lovers together in a way that benefits everyone involved. For owners, it’s peace of mind knowing their dog is spending time with trusted, caring people. For borrowers, it’s the joy of spending time with a dog without the full-time commitment. And for the dogs like Willow, it’s more cuddles, more playtime, and more love. It’s truly a win-win… or should we say woof-woof!

Thank you for being such a pawsome part of our pack. Give Willow a cuddle from us!

I had a really good response

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

Hey Mrs Berry,

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.

It is incredibly heartwarming to hear how BorrowMyDoggy supported you during such a difficult time. Many of our members find real joy and companionship through spending time with dogs, especially after losing one of their own, and we are so glad you found that connection too.

It sounds like you had a pawsitively busy schedule with all the lovely pups you matched with. We often hear from dog lovers who, like you, start with just one or two walks and soon find themselves becoming a regular helping paw to several local owners.

One of the things that makes BorrowMyDoggy special is how it creates flexible and trust based arrangements. It is all about people connecting in ways that suit their lifestyles, whether that is daily walks or simply offering company when an owner is out for the day.

We are thrilled to hear that you have stayed in touch with a few of your matches. That sense of local community and shared care is right at the heart of what we do.

Thanks again for being part of the pack.

Wonderful experience

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.

Love Dogs

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!

Hi mbl,

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.

It’s completely natural to feel a bit hesitant at first, our dogs are our fur babies after all. We’re absolutely thrilled to hear how beautifully things have worked out for you, your dog, and your borrower.

Our community is all about creating that special win-win (or woof-woof, as we like to call it). Owners get a supportive hand with their beloved dogs, and borrowers get the joy of spending time with a pup they may not otherwise be able to have in their lives.

We often hear how those moments can make a real difference, bringing a mental health and physical boost to our borrowers, and joy and socialisation to our dogs.

We’re eternally grateful for the dedicated support our borrowers show, and just as thankful to our owners for generously sharing their cherished family members with the community.

We hope you all continue to share in such pawsome adventures together!

An amazing facility

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!

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

It truly means a lot to hear how much you've enjoyed your experience as a borrower, and we love that you've found the platform to be not only excellent but essential and extraordinary too. What a pawsome trio!

We're so glad our help team has been able to support you promptly and in a friendly way whenever needed. Helping our members feel supported and confident is always a top priority, so your feedback really makes our tails wag.

It’s completely understandable that life can get busy, especially working in healthcare and thank you for all that you do. We're thrilled to hear you're now looking to borrow again, and we hope you find a perfect match soon.

As you kindly mentioned, sometimes owners may take a little while to reply. We always recommend reaching out to a few dog owners to improve your chances of finding a great match. It’s also really helpful to include plenty of detail in your profile and messages about your availability, experience, and why you'd love to borrow a dog. A strong fit between all humans and of course, all doggies, is key to a successful connection.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience and tips with others. It’s lovely to have you as part of the BorrowMyDoggy pack!

Perfect Solution

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!

Hi Paul,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

We really appreciate you sharing your experience with us, it really means a lot to us.

We’re so sorry to hear about the loss of your dog, they defiantly leave such a big paw print on our hearts. It’s completely understandable to feel unsure about the commitment of full-time ownership again.

That’s exactly the kind of situation BorrowMyDoggy was created for, to offer a flexible, meaningful way to enjoy the company of dogs without the full-time responsibility. Whether it's a leisurely walk, a weekend sleepover, or just some quality time with a furry friend.
We're so happy to hear that you've found the balance that works for you.

BorrowMyDoggy connects local dog owners with trusted borrowers who would love to spend time with a dog, it's a win-win or as we like to say a woof-woof, that brings joy to both humans and dogs.

We definitely saw what you did there with “perfick" and we think that’s absolutely pawsome!

Matching people and pooches that live…

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.

Hi Vicky,

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.

We are so pleased to hear you’ve had such a pleasant experience with BorrowMyDoggy!

It’s wonderful that you were able to connect with a gorgeous local dog and their lovely owners. One of the things we’re most proud of is how our platform helps build real-life connections in local communities, making it easier for people to find the right match nearby, which, as you mentioned, really makes a big difference.

We also really appreciate you highlighting how helpful it is to have clear profiles with photos, details about each dog, and what the owners are looking for. That transparency is key to helping both sides feel confident and informed when choosing who to connect with.

And we couldn’t agree more, taking the time to go on a walk together before making any long term arrangements is such a great way to build trust and ensure everyone feels comfortable. That initial welcome woof as we like to call it, is something we always recommend, as it gives owners peace of mind and helps borrowers feel more at ease too.

Thanks again for being part of our community and for sharing your thoughtful feedback.

We hope you continue to have many more pawsome adventures, with your new borrowed pooch.
