Wonderful community
What a fabulous idea and run by the kindest people. I sadly had to give up walking my beautiful borrowed dog Teddy due to a health condition. I miss him dearly. Couldn’t have my own dog so this was the perfect solution.

Hi Anne Howarth,
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.
It means the world to us to hear that BorrowMyDoggy was the perfect solution for you to enjoy time with a furry friend like Teddy. We’re so sorry to hear you had to stop your walks due to health reasons, it’s clear how much he meant to you, and we’re sure he misses you just as much.
Your kind words about the idea and the team really warmed our hearts. We’re so grateful you were part of our community and gave Teddy such love and care.
Wishing you all the very best, and thank you again for being such a special part of the BorrowMyDoggy journey.

I absolutely love Borrow My Doggy
I absolutely love Borrow My Doggy! I'm not able to have my own dog and came across BMD. It took me a while to sign up thinking it would probably be a waste of time but it's been the best thing I've done. I've now been borrowing Bella twice a week for over three years and I have to admit it's mutual love. I've also made a great friend in Bella's owner which is a bonus. BMD also gives me assurance that if anything goes wrong while I have Bella I am covered with their insurance. Happiness all round!

Hey Ali Silverback,
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.
It’s absolutely wonderful to hear how much you love BorrowMyDoggy, and we’re especially glad you stuck with it after your initial hesitation. Hearing that you’ve now been borrowing Bella for over three years and that it’s mutual love, truly warms our hearts.
It’s stories like yours that remind us why we do what we do. BorrowMyDoggy is all about building trusted connections and sharing the joy that dogs bring, and it’s fantastic to hear you’ve also made a great friend in Bella’s owner along the way. That’s a real win-win (or should we say woof-woof)!
We're also happy to know that the added reassurance of our insurance helps you feel confident and secure during your time with Bella.
Thank you for being such a big part of what makes our community so special. We hope you continue to make many wonderful memories with Bella, with lots of walks and doggy cuddles.

My first review was based on my initial experience of joining this company,after posting it .I was contacted by jess whodid apologise for my bad experience.
The problem which i still say was not a typo or wrong e-mail address has been rectified . I am happy to do another review further down the line if everything goes well.Hopefully a more positive one.

Hi Jackie Allen,
Thanks so much for taking the time to share an updated review, we really appreciate you giving us the chance to put things right. We’re glad to hear the issue has now been resolved after resetting your password.
Just to confirm, if you ever see the message saying your email and password combination isn’t recognised, it simply means there’s a small mismatch between the details entered and those on your account. Since the reset link sorted things out, it’s likely the issue was with the password, perhaps a typo during login or setup (it happens to the best of us!).
We’re so pleased this is now working as it should, and we truly hope your experience continues positively from here.
We’d love to hear how things go once you’ve had more time with BorrowMyDoggy. If you would like any assistance with your account or with finding your pawfect match, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us.

Don't waste your time or build up your hopes for replies
A VERY DISAPPOINTING ORGANISATION AND SO CALLED DOG LOVERS!!!!!!!!
I HAVE PUT OUT 25 PLUS MESSAGES TO ASK FOR ASSISTANCE TO THOSE WHO CLAIM TO LOVE DOGS AND OFFER THEIR SERVICES AND HAVE HAD JUST ONE REPLY FROM A GENUINE CARING LADY.
WHAT SORT OF ORGANISATION IS THIS? THEY CHARGE £48 FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF DISAPPOINTMENT AND ENTICING
TIME WASTERS WHO CAN'T EVEN BE BOTHERED OR HAVE THE DECENCY TO REPLY
AN ABSOLUTE RUBBISH COMPANY WHO DON'T CHASE UP THEIR CUSTOMERS AND WANNABEE HELPERS. A TOTAL RIP OFF TOO!!!!!!
I DO NOT RECOMMEND WHATSOEVER.

Hey Andy Knight,
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.
We’re really sorry to hear your experience has been so disappointing, we absolutely understand how frustrating it can feel when you’re reaching out and not receiving the responses you’d hoped for.
BorrowMyDoggy connects dog owners with local dog-loving borrowers, who are volunteers from the community, who offer their time to help care for dogs simply because they love being around them. Borrowers do this for free, in their spare time, so availability and responsiveness can vary from person to person.
It’s also worth noting that only Premium borrowers are able to reply to messages. If you've contacted mostly Basic members, they may not be able to respond unless they upgrade. That said, we do send out notifications and follow-ups to borrowers who haven’t replied yet, so there’s still a chance you may hear back from more people soon.
We’ve sent a request via Trustpilot for your account details so we can look into this further for you. Our help team is here to support all our members in finding the right matches, and we’d really like to help turn things around.

We’re so glad it’s led to such a lovely connection! Meeting beautiful dogs and their equally wonderful owners is at the heart of what we do.
BorrowMyDoggy is all about bringing together trusted, local dog lovers who want to share the joy of dog time. Whether it's for walks, play, or company, we love hearing stories like yours where everyone, both two- and four-legged, benefits.

Didn't work for me
I got one contact and even though we got on well and I looked after the dog for a few hours never heard anymore. I think they were just testing it out and didn't really need anyone as they had family who looked after the dog. I found only people who were going on holiday contacted me to save money on kennel fees - even though I had put in my preference I did not do holidays. Watch out as the membership has an automatic renewal and I have just found out and have now ended my membership.

Hi Lady Southwold,
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.
We're really sorry to hear it didn’t work out as you’d hoped.
We completely understand how disappointing it must have felt to connect with just one owner, especially when you were genuinely excited to help and spend time with a dog. While some members do use BorrowMyDoggy for holiday cover, many are also looking for regular support or companionship for their dog, we're sorry if your preferences weren’t respected.
We’re also sorry if the renewal came as a surprise. We do confirm this during account set-up, and you can always view your renewal date and manage your subscription anytime from your account settings page, where there’s also the option to end your membership.
If there’s anything you'd like us to look into further, just get in touch with our Help Team at woofwoof@borrowmydoggy.com we’re always happy to help.

Complete Scam
I would not recommend this service. In over a year, I have only had one response, despite contacting many profiles. Most don’t reply at all apart from the odd one saying they're not available!
I’ve contacted BorrowMyDoggy several times (including twice this month) but haven’t received any acknowledgement. On the occasions they did reply in the past, the profiles they suggested weren’t relevant — for example, cat owners (even though I explained my dog cannot be around cats) or people only available at times I’d said wouldn’t work.
I’ve also noticed that other members have left reviews with the same complaints, but the company seems to give the same generic responses without resolving the issues. My biggest frustration is that they no longer reply to emails at all, which leaves members with no support and no way to request a refund.
I paid £48 for a membership and feel I’ve had no value from it. Based on my experience, this service has not delivered what it promises.
One woman wrote to me saying she was interested but then complained she'd just had a dog who had separation anxiety and couldn't be left in her house alone for the day etc..isn't the point of BMD to offer companionship?!
Total joke of a company.

Hi Allegro MT,
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.
We’re really sorry to hear it’s been so disappointing, and we completely understand your frustration.
We aim to create meaningful connections between dog owners and borrowers, and it's disheartening to hear that this hasn’t been your experience. While we do our best to encourage replies and suggest compatible matches, we know that availability and preferences can sometimes make it tricky to find the right fit quickly. We truly regret if our suggestions missed the mark, especially after you shared your dog’s needs.
It’s also very concerning to hear you haven’t had a response from our team recently, that’s not the level of support we aim to provide. We’ve sent a request through Trustpilot to get a few more details so we can look into this further for you.
We know how much trust you put into our service, and we’d love the chance to turn things around for you.

BorrowMyDoggy has brought us so much joy
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!

So thank you for being such a pawsome part of the BorrowMyDoggy community.
We hope you, your family and your borrowed furry family member enjoy many more tail-wagging adventures together!

Ex members still being listed.
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.

Hi Denis Law,
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.
All members can sign up for free to explore the community and check if there are suitable matches in their area before committing to a membership. You can also tailor your search by filtering for Premium members only, and even sort results by most active, newest, or recently updated profiles.
Communication is only possible once both parties have completed their safety checks and activated a Premium membership. The membership fee helps us keep the community safe and well-supported, it covers things like safety checks, insurance, and access to our 24/7 vet line.
Once a Premium membership expires, members have the option to either close their account or keep it open for future use. Many choose to stay listed and simply mark their profile as ‘not currently looking for a match,’ which removes it from the search results but keeps their details saved, handy for reactivating down the line without needing to start from scratch.
If you'd prefer your profile to be completely removed from the site, just let us know at woofwoof@borrowmydoggy.com
and we'll take care of that right away.
Thanks again for your feedback, it’s really important to us, and helps us continue improving the experience for all members.

Thanks so much for updating your review and for sending your account details over to us. I can confirm that the email address you provided is linked to a closed account. If you have any open accounts you would like to close, simply confirm your account details to us at woofwoof@borrowmydoggy.com and a member of our help team would be happy to assist you.
Just to clarify, we never close a member’s account without them asking us to. If an account simply becomes inactive, it will automatically be set to “not looking for a match” after a period of no use. Members can also update this setting themselves at any time, directly from their account.
I hope that helps clear things up, and thank you again for sharing your feedback with us.

Hey Emma,
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, and for taking the time to confirm your account details with us, via Trustpilot.
We’re genuinely sorry to hear you’ve felt disappointed so far. We know how important it is to find the right match for your dog, especially when you're looking for help during your working days.
We’ve sent you an email with some tailored tips to support your search, including suggestions to personalise your profile, as it’s the first thing borrowers see and helps them understand whether they’re a good fit. For example, including details like your availability on Tuesdays to Thursdays from 9–5, and whether you're hoping to find one regular borrower or are open to a few, can really help set expectations. Since our borrowers are lovely volunteers who fit in dog time around their own jobs and commitments, a little added detail can go a long way.
We also wanted to reassure you that one local borrower has already been in touch, they’ve shared their contact details with you but mentioned they're currently unwell and hope to follow up once they’re feeling better. Hopefully that connection develops soon.
We’re here to help every step of the way and will keep doing all we can to support you and your dog.

A complete waste of time and money
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.

To clarify, all members can join BorrowMyDoggy and create a profile for free. This allows everyone to browse and explore the community in their local area before deciding to upgrade.
There are often many borrowers and owners across the UK and Ireland, but the matches you see can vary depending on your location, availability, and preferences, such as your chosen search radius or the type of arrangement you're looking for.
Premium membership is required to unlock messaging, which helps keep the community safe and trusted through ID checks, insurance, and 24/7 vetline access. We understand it can be frustrating if connections aren’t immediate, but we’re here to help you get the most out of your membership.

It’s wonderful to hear that Blue has built such a close bond with his borrower family and is spending so much quality time with them.
One of the loveliest parts of BorrowMyDoggy is seeing these special relationships form. Many of our borrowers join to help support owners who might need a helping paw, and in return they get the joy of spending time with a dog they wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity to be around.
It’s heart-warming to know Blue is bringing happiness to others while being so well cared for, definitely a win-win (or should we say woof-woof!) for everyone involved.

BorrowMyDoggy is the most incredible website!…
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.
