Why did you join BorrowMyDoggy?

A year ago, I felt a dog would be the perfect addition to our family, my husband thought it would be too much commitment for us at the time. So I found BorrowMyDoggy and applied to be a premium member for a year.Now I borrow a pup 6 days a week!

How has your BorrowMyDoggy experience changed your life?

100% for the better, we found the most amazing pup! Wiithin two weeks we met the most amazing 4 month old pup called Oreo. He's a cocker spaniel with an abundance of energy, Oreo's parents both work full time and realised they needed to share the load, we met up and discussed what each other would like from this and the rest was history.

How have you (and your borrowed dog) benefited from being a BorrowMyDoggy member?

As a family we are very outdoorsy, have horses and spend most of our time in the countryside so it's a great way for Oreo to let off some steam. We now share Oreo between us giving him an amazing balanced life between both lifestyles.

What's been the biggest surprise for you in being part of our community?

How simple it was to find a dog, build a relationship with Oreo's parents and now share the most amazing boy together.

Let us know if you have anything else you'd like to share about your experience!

We are forever grateful to BMD & Sandy & Gurpal for letting us be a part of this beautiful journey!

After losing a relative whose dog we looked after on a regular basis we were missing dog walking and cuddles. A chance comment from a friend led to us signing up to BorrowMyDoggy and we’ve never looked back !

I Love caring for / walking the little Furry friend. The owner gets time off & can go into the office when needed & the little furry friend gets to go on great walks, often :grin:

I missed the companionship of animals and wanted my son to experience the joy of looking after and cuddling a dog, but my rental won’t allow pets.
