jjmack Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 We're away at oct half term and where we are going we can't take our dog so need to sort somewhere for her to stay. Lots of options locally ranging from kennels at £8 per night to £38 a night (inc sofa and TV!!) to home boarding at £22 a night. Then when looking I stumbled across borrow my doggy, has anyone had experience of this online matching service? I would really rather she didn't go to a kennels as she's really nervous and clingy at times, so would rather she was in a family. Tmoney isn't the issue as the kennels that I would consider is about £18 a night and home boarding £22 a night so not a huge amount in it. But if borrow my doggy works then we all win Does anyone have good /bad experiences or things I need to consider, I would be grateful before I book anything in. Thanks you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I don't have a dog, I do know someone who's used this though. They said it took a few goes to meet someone they felt was right, e.g. who would be consistent in the way they were trying to train their puppy. They were using them for occasional daytime care rather than overnight. You have to pay to register with the site I believe, so it shows a degree of commitment, but I don't know if there are any checks, insurance etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Family friends have three young children that 'Borrow my doggy' (the same dog) every weekend. They think its great that they can go to the park, get outdoors and have a dog as they work full time in the week. It suits the owner and dog too as they work weekends, so everyones a winner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
