Dog walking

We connect 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. Matches are based on availability and location, and no money is exchanged between owners and borrowers - it's based on the love of dogs!

What is this service?

Join like minded people in your local area who are part of the largest dog-loving community - BorrowMyDoggy.

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.

Anyone can join our community whether you're a borrower (a dog lover who would love to spend time with a dog but doesn't currently have one) or a dog owner.

Safety and trust for all

The safety and welfare of all our members, two and four-legged, is of the utmost importance to us.

Verification

We verify the phone numbers and home addresses of all Premium members before they can chat and meet. This helps us make our community a safer place for everyone.

Meet up

Get to know each other first by meeting face-to-face as many times as you need to feel comfortable. Trust and friendship is important for everyone, including the dogs.

Insurance

All BorrowMyDoggy dogs are covered by insurance (full terms) if both the owner and borrower are Premium members.

24/7 Vet Line

All Premium members enjoy around-the-clock access to veterinary professionals. They can help with any emergencies, questions or just offer support to make sure all doggy members are happy and healthy.

Good to know

What people say

BorrowMyDoggy provided a safe link to local people. Professional dog walkers & boarders are so expensive, BorrowMyDoggy has saved me so much money.

    Walks happen normally on Mondays, of around 3 miles in length and start at Kingston Station, just outside Pret. We walk a variety of routes, sometimes circular finishing at Kingston, and sometimes we finish elsewhere and get buses back to Kingston. We aim to be back in Kingston around 1.30 pm.
