Prey do tell me what borrow my dog, and dog buddy are? I assume that these are companies that loan you dogs for those who could not keep one permanently say for work, accommodation or physical reasons. The charity where I work brings in dogs to help with therapy.


Before kids came along I thought there could be a service where those without children but where most of the peer group did could do a child hire. Obviously there are too many protection issues here to make this a runner.


Of course there is a lot in common between kids and dogs. Just thought I'd throw that one in.


Not sure how my family managed with pets in the old days without all these niche services.

I?ve been a BorrowmyDoggie ?borrower.? You register on the BorrowmyDoggie website where you can see pictures and descriptions posted by dog owners looking to meet people who might like to walk their dogs. You can then make contact and make arrangements to suit each party.


It worked well for me when I wasn?t working for a while and wanted to keep active. It also helps the owners who might need a bit of help with dog walking.

Hi I have just used this site for the first time and am very happy with the care my dog received. We were given regular updates and photos of our dog, we used Monique who lives right next to Peckham Rye and I would have no hesitation in using her again.

    • I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's  when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.
    • The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
    • Do you mean that there are only very few trades people and that all of their thousands of happy customers post glowing reviews but most of them have only ever posted once to recommend said trade person on the trade person's own thread?   If so, I agree it's mysterious.  
    • Oh now you're coming over all defensive. What happened to the nice Sue, because since the early part of the year your approach seems to have changed and you've become much more challenging. No you have not broken any rules and even if you had why would I involve Admin, that's a ludicrous thing to say.  Take care Sue.
