Why did you join BorrowMyDoggy?

Lockdown was easing up and I had developed the habit of walking to St James’s and Hyde Parks. I was offering my devices to anyone who was possibly less mobile and wanted their beloved pet walked. Instead I got a 26 year old starting his first job with the most adorable Yorkshire Terrier . I have been looking after Timmy one day a week for over 4 years and absolutely adore him. His owner and I are also good friends.

How has your BorrowMyDoggy experience changed your life?

I really look forward to my one day a week with Timmy as he’s so adorable and always seems really pleased to have his day with me.

How have you benefited from being a BorrowMyDoggy member?

Being single and travelling a lot and with a busy social calendar I wouldn’t have the time to devote to my own dog. Having Timmy one day a week is perfect.

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

How well Borrow my Doggie works for owner and pet alike.

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.

I absolutely adore dogs but due to work I would struggle to commit full time but I do have 3 days at a time off so it’s perfect for me.

I get puppy Bodhi 1 day most weeks and he is so cute & fluffy & I just am so happy when he arrives! We take lots of walks & meet lots of people.
