What is BorrowMyDoggy?
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, give dogs more exercise and playtime and to allow people without a dog to spend quality time with one. We call it a win-win (or a woof-woof) situation for everyone involved.
How it started
Rikke Rosenlund founded BorrowMyDoggy in 2012 after taking care of a neighbour’s dog “Aston” for the day. She soon realised that lots of 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 for free, simply because they love dogs.
How it works....
1. Create a free profile - Fill out information, upload your photo and become a basic member.
2. Have a sniff around - Based on your profile we’ll show you the members that are near you.
3. Safety is important to us - Before you can message and arrange a ‘Welcome Woof’ you’ll need to become a Premium member and go through our safety checks, this helps us keep our community safe.
4. Message and meet up - We recommend members get to know each other really well before a dog is taken care of by another dog lover.
