About us

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, provide new and healthy experiences for their dogs and to allow people without a dog to spend quality time with one. Rikke Rosenlund founded BorrowMyDoggy in 2012 after taking care of a neighbour’s dog “Aston” for the day. She soon realised that 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, simply because they love dogs. BorrowMyDoggy is now the most active online communities of dog lovers, with over 500,000 members throughout the UK and Ireland. We’ve successfully connected thousands of owners and borrowers and the business is going from strength to strength. Over 13 million people own a dog in the UK and Ireland. Dog owners come in all shapes and sizes - they could be families, retired people, students, professionals and more. Some may have gone through life changes, which drive their need for help - having a baby, moving house, changing job or maybe relationship changes. “Owners should be aware of the huge benefits that BorrowMyDoggy can bring to their dog. The positive psychological impact on the dog is the biggest thing that owners won’t realise until they do it.“ Our Borrowers are often unable to own a dog, but just want to spend some time with one for the love of dogs, not money. They could also be trialling caring for a dog before buying one - it’s a great way to test the water, especially with different breeds. It’s also a wonderful opportunity to test your kids with a dog, too. “I grew up with dogs all my life, but when I moved, I had to leave my two Dalmatians behind with my family. Work commitments and an inflexible rental agreement mean I can’t have a dog of my own.” Sign up today at BorrowMyDoggy.com

    SOOOO excited as Peggy the Cavapoo is coming to stay for 4 days from today, via BorrowMyDoggy - and this is all weirdly thanks to Wim Hof! HUH?! I'll explain... The boys have wanted a dog for YEARS, but I said we needed a bigger house and garden. Hubby Andy Pieroux was always against the idea. Them we got the bigger house/garden but I wanted all the building work to be completed rather than putting a dog through all that. (We've done 2 of the 3 floors and have had to pause - renovs do not come cheap!). End of August, at Camp Bestival, Andy and I did the Wim Hof experience (including an ice bath for 2 minutes!!!). There was a lot of breathing, meditation, sound baths, etc... and everyone said afterwards that they felt.. Relaxed... Energised... Clearer-headed... (etc) Then Andy sat up and he said he was now in no doubt that we needed a dog! (He's now calling it an 'epuphany'....) You can imagine my shock and cynicism! If he changed his mind suddenly in a breathing workshop, what if it changed back again at another? It's a HUGE commitment, so once we got home, I signed us up on borrowmydoggy . com to trial the concept of dog ownership. Part-time dogging (as hubby is now calling it - I've asked him not to!) is perfect for the dog-curious. Also - I noticed there's LOADS of single people on the site - either with a dog who need support or who want a dog but can't commit. I can't help but wonder if owner/borrowers have found human love as a result too?! Verdict so far: I'm actually loving the concept as a lifestyle choice in itself if you love dogs, but can't (or don't want) to have a whole one! (Especially good for us, for now with further building works in the plan...) What prompted you to get a dog? (And/or have you used the site before?) I'd love to know! #FridayFun #DogsofLinkedIn

    🌟 New month, new adventures: approach it like a dog! 🐾 As we enter a fresh month let’s take a page from our canine companions’ playbook. Dogs have an incredible way of embracing each day with enthusiasm, curiosity, and a wagging tail. 🐶 Here’s how you can channel your inner dog this month: 1. Embrace every moment: Dogs live in the present, savouring each walk, treat, and belly rub. Let’s do the same—be present, cherish the small wins, and enjoy the journey. 2. Stay curious: Whether it’s sniffing a new trail or investigating a rustling leaf, dogs are endlessly curious. This month, try something new, ask questions, and explore opportunities that excite you. 3. Be loyal: Just as dogs are devoted to their humans, let’s be loyal to our goals, our teams, and our values. Stay committed to what truly matters. 4. Spread joy: A dog’s joy is infectious. Brighten someone’s day with a smile, lend a helping hand, or share a kind word. Small acts of kindness can make a big impact. 5. As we chase our goals this month, let’s approach each day with the same energy and positivity that our dogs show us. Here’s to a month of new opportunities, loyal connections, and tail-wagging happiness! 🐾✨

    🎉🐾 Happy National Dog Day to all the pawsome pups out there! 🐾🎉 At BorrowMyDoggy, we believe that dogs are more than just pets – they’re family, adventure buddies, and the ultimate tail-wagging therapists. Today, we’re celebrating all the reasons why dogs are simply the best: 🌟 Unconditional love: No matter how your day is going, your pooch is always there to greet you with wagging tails and endless affection. They just know how to make everything better! 🌟 Endless adventures: Whether it’s a walk in the park or a spontaneous road trip, dogs turn ordinary moments into unforgettable adventures. With a dog by your side, every day is an opportunity to explore the world from a new perspective – nose first, of course! 🌟 Instant mood boosters: Feeling down? Dogs have a natural talent for turning frowns upside down. Their goofy antics, playful energy, and endless cuddles are the perfect remedy for any bad day. 🌟 Loyal companions: Through thick and thin, dogs are there for us. Their loyalty is unmatched, and they remind us every day of the beauty of unwavering friendship. On this National Dog Day, let’s celebrate the furry friends who make our lives brighter, our hearts fuller, and our days a lot more fun! 🐶✨ Got a favourite doggy memory? Share it with us in the comments – we’d love to hear about the special pups in your life! 💬

    For a long time, I believed that making an impact at work meant changing careers 🌳. Being in tech proved me wrong. BorrowMyDoggy is one of my favourite companies 🐕. It's a platform that connects dog owners with verified local borrowers for walks and care.  I've seen friends experience immense joy and build stronger community connections through this service 🥰 At Griffin, I'm excited to speak with companies making money more accessible to people. Some of these companies work to: 𝟭. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 🫶🏼 I’ve met fintechs providing financial services to people left behind by high street banks.  They offer savings accounts and small credit lines, often used to cover health & essential needs 🏥 These fintechs innovate by closely understanding their customers & developing tailored products for their needs (and constraints).  For example, offering credit lines enhanced with alternative credit assessment methods, like on-time payment of rent and utility bills. 𝟮. 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲 & 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 💪🏼 In a cost of living crisis, I’ve engaged with fintechs that help employers support their workers to save money, access earned wages early and providing engaging materials on money management. 𝟯. 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 🏪 SMEs are the backbone of the economy but often struggle to access credit from traditional banks to manage cash flow - often made worse by late customer payments 😢 We're partnering with fintechs that include alternative data from accounting systems, e-commerce platforms, and payment partners to make better lending decisions. This drives faster and efficient lending decisions - improving the financial health of businesses 🫀 These are just some fintechs creating a strong social impact.  Would love to hear of others! p.s.

    July is National Picnic Month! At BorrowMyDoggy, we believe there's no better way to enjoy the great outdoors than with our furry friends by our side. 🐶🧺 Whether you're a dog owner or a borrower, picnics provide a wonderful opportunity to bond, relax, and soak up the sunshine. Here are some tips to make your picnic pawsome: Pack dog-friendly snacks: Bring along some healthy treats for your pup, like carrots, apples, and their favourite dog biscuits. Stay hydrated: Ensure you have plenty of fresh water for both you and your furry companion. Fun and games: Don't forget to bring a ball or frisbee to keep your dog entertained. Shade and comfort: Pack a blanket and find a shady spot to keep everyone cool and comfortable. Clean up: Always carry waste and poo bags to keep the picnic area clean for everyone. Happy "pup"nicking 🐶🧺
