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

I only discovered BorrowMyDoggy recently through a Google search, and I must say it’s one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 🐶 It hasn’t just helped us as a family — giving our children the joy of walking and playing with a dog — but it’s also been a lovely way to support the dog’s owner too. It feels great to give something back to the community while creating special memories together. Highly recommend this scheme!

After expressing my disappointment with this company, I let my membership expire.
I did this partly because I found that they inflate their website’s membership figures by ‘suggesting’ that there are Many, many more active members (potential walkers or owners) available in any particular area than there actually are.
Note: You can become a listed ‘member’ (?) without subscribing - but you cannot communicate with one another until you pay a membership fee and become a Full member.
So, be aware, the profiles posted are also made up of large numbers of potentially interested people who sign up as Non-Subscription members. People (members) who cannot communicate with you.
What I have just learned today however is, Ex-Members, like myself REMAIN listed on their site. We don’t have our profiles removed and are simply blocked from entering into dialogue with any other members, regardless of their subscription status.
This only came to light when they emailed me today to notify me of someone who had looked at my profile.
This act is clearly designed to tempt me into re-subscribing, or to massage their membership numbers for my area, or entice more unsubscribed members to pay up for Full membership communication privileges.
UPDATE:
As their reply clearly states that they keep you listed unless YOU ask to be removed. Sounds a bit dodgy to me and a clear attempt to keep up the pretence of a high membership level of active members.

I’m really happy I joined BorrowMyDoggy- I have been able to connect with doggies in my local area for walks that are flexible and can fit in with my life and the owners who are looking for someone to walk their dogs- fantastic, as I miss having my own dogs but cannot have my own dog at the moment so I still get the enjoyment of a dogs company, and they get some lovely walks- win win 👍

I don't know what i would do without Borrow My Doggie. I am a disabled pensioners and unable to walk him myself. I have had some lovely borrowers. I had the same one for 6 months and they both got on so well. The lady decided to buy her own dog so we have gone back to the site to look for new ones. I am sure we will be lucky, So many caring people on this site and local which is a really big help. I can highly recommend this site to anyone else who needs help walking their dogs.

Paid for a yearly membership, no message recieved of renewal took new payment of £48 and refusing to refund and haven’t replied to my messages in 7 days. Would highly avoid - fraudulent

Disappointed fabulous idea but paid my £48 and so far not really had any takers for someone to borrow my dog think this is a waste of money. Perhaps if we pay people can only be on the site that are serious and answer your messages and agree to me and not waste your time
Unable to add additional information if BorrowMyDoggy would like to contact me they have all of my information to do so

I was missing our elderly spaniel so much but wasn't ready to take on another dog. I found a lovely owner needing help with her dog while recuperating from an op. It's helped us both and the app was easy to navigate

In my experience, one paw print away from a scam. As a dog owner, you are invited to join on a promise of being connected to people who have joined to borrow dogs. You provide photos and a profile. You are notified of borrowers in your area.
Here’s the catch. Borrowers need to also be premium members to see messages from dog owners. So, my premium membership ‘benefits’ are totally dependent on borrowers’ also paying for premium membership - there are unsurprisingly, very few.
I would not recommend Borrow My Doggy. You’d have better luck putting an advert out on social media.

Thanks to Borrow my Doggie for the opportunity to meet a lovely family who have our Cockapoo 'Blue' several times a week.
They love their time with him.

Would appear to be a scam, contacted lots of people on their website and nothing not a Dickie bird but took my money before I could even reach out to them

BorrowMyDoggy is the most incredible concept and they should be taking it globally!
My husband worked from home, looking after our Cavapoochon and my office is 20 minutes away, when circumstances suddenly changed. He is no longer working from home which caused a big problem as we didn't want our dog to be on his own for 8 hours! Professional dog sitters were a fortune - all dog care options are - so we decided to try using BorrowMyDoggy.
We were very worried at first but this platform allows you to actually meet the person who is interested in looking after your pet at their home. My husband and I along with our dog met two people. It was important for us to go to see their home. Not ours. One lady had lost her dog a year ago and wanted company but not the responsibility of having a dog full time and the other was studying and also used to have a dog and wanted a cuddly friend that she could walk and play with.
I am looking at two or three people to look after our dog during the week. I didn't want to leave my key with strangers to pick up my dog, so the option of somebody coming in the middle of the day to walk him did not work for us.The only way this would work for us was for them to have him for 8 hours. That's why I have more than one person taking care of him. I drop him off before I go to work and pick him up on the way home. He has been cared for and walked and I leave a bed basket and food with bowls for water together with toys.
We have just joined and the website is user friendly.
So yes, I would highly recommend this site but it is important that the person you choose you properly interview.

Was referred to the app when I first moved to London and couldn’t have loved it more! Made great friends through the app and have found very loving sitters that love my dog as their own! Highly recommend

Reply from BorrowMyDoggy
Waste of time
No sitter matched what I was looking for
Some didn’t even bother to reply
No refund as outside of 30 days
I personally would avoid

Lost my boy in March 25, was so lost without him and wanted to walk with a dog again. Found ‘borrow my doggy’ site and it was perfect. Found a lovely couple who after a few weeks of visiting them, they were happy with me taking their boy Harry out for walks and we are good friends the 4 of us. I would certainly recommend this site they have loads of dogs of all shapes and sizes, to suit you, you won’t be disappointed

Overall it’s a good platform with the intention to connect people with a dog that need help and support, but having joined as a premium borrower as I thought that would re assure owners I sent out loads of messages to owners most did not reply which was disappointing since so many need “help”
It would be better if they took there ads down if they no longer need to help rather then just ignoring people

We joined up to borrow my doggie to enable us to make a furry friend in our neighbour hood .. we where soon delighted to befriend a lovely dog who we have bonded to so well .. he comes to us twice a week and we enjoy going on adventure walks in the forests fields and beaches where we live .. I would highly recommend this company for the introductions and the borrowers security it offers ..

My husband and I were pleased to discover this website. We signed up as "borrowers". It was very simple to find dogs in our area, using our postcode. We selected a dog breed which we were familiar with and left a message for three families. Within 24 hours two families had been in touch. We arranged to meet up with one family and got to know their dog on a walk. We all discussed our needs, and we were delighted to start borrowing their beautiful Spaniel. The process could not have been easier.

The woman who had our Stanly for us is so good with him. It’s gives me a break and Stanley loves her. Neeve is very responsible and reliable and I feel like I can trust her with Stan. This is a brilliant idea. Kudos to you guys for thinking up this idea. 💡

A fabulous website which is easy to use and gives awesome advice. Safety and security for all concerned is all covered by the organisation. We found our perfect match first time and our borrowed doggy brings such joy and has helped to fill a huge dog shaped hole in our lives. It’s heartwarming to see how happy he is with us. I’m so glad Borrow My Doggy exists and highly recommend it for borrowers and owners.
