Bark N Borrow – Dog Sitting, Walks & Home Boarding App Reviews

Yeah, fix the app before advertising it.

I havent experience any borrowing but the app is easy to use. I like their concept its pretty cool ;)

I love this idea and the community of dog-lovers who are a part of it. I have found many puppy play-dates for my pup as well as people who would love to look after my dog whenever I am busy. They are all so genuine, loving and caring and it gives me such peace of mind knowing that my dog will always be in good hands.

Idea behind app is great, in theory. However, the app itself has TERRIBLE BUGS. I set up my account but when I looked at it days later it had info on someone else named "A******". Im "M******". Now, a week later, and still happening, I am getting responses to messages I didnt send and it seems like the hacker/crossed information is from someone outside the US based on how they write their dates ("29-30/06" meaning June 29-30). Dont get the app. Total risk for your information, especially if you connect PayPal to pay a sitter or receive money for sitting.

Ok so about 4-5 sitters available in my area and i still have not gotten any response for the potential job. These people are not serious and not enough in my area to make it work.

Broken app

Way less dogs and we have to pay?

This is great idea that would work with local pet owners I did not see a way to sort by location

Can no longer log in, even after resetting password multiple times.

Such a great app. I love looking at the dogs in my area and spending time with a pup who needs extra love!

Customer service replied and said theyre working on filtering which will help out so much! They also listened to my request and as a dog owner Im now able to connect with other dog owners! Loving BarkNBorrow. Thank you for listening to me! Sharing this app with all my dog owner friends!

I recommend this app to ALL dog owners! I have a french bulldog who always wants to meet new friends and play. I sometimes get really busy running my errands and feel bad for him being left home alone. I have so many owners and borrowers contact me through the app to hang out with my puppy, that now he is never alone! I also cannot afford a dog sitter, so the fact that I have a whole community of people willing to help me out just for the love of dogs is truly amazing. We all support eachother. It feels really great that he will always have all the love he deserves, and that I can also help others out too! It would be great if there was a way to filter more closely my location, but when I asked customer service about this, they responded right away letting me know that this feature it just around the corner. Cant wait to see what comes next :)

I love the concept of the app. It was fun and easy to use. Lots of cute pups. I cant wait to tell my other doggie friends about it!!!

You have to pay to put your dog on the site. Then hope someone will pick your dog. They should just take proceeds from when the dog is actually borrowed. Deleted app.

I connected with a lovely couple only a few miles away, and theyve already saved me a couple hundred dollars in kenneling/sitting fees by taking Jackson over a couple weekends. I LOVE Bark n Borrows!

It crashes every time I try to open my inbox, meaning that its basically worthless. Hope it gets fixed.

This app is awful. The idea behind it is fantastic, making the poor usability particularly frustrating. Not only is the app riddled with spelling and grammatical errors, but the basic features dont work. Further, users arent able to search dogs by location, which is an obvious necessity; Im in the US and am viewing dogs in the UK (not exactly useful). This, in spite of the left sidebar suggesting the option to do so. You will receive an error message each time you attempt to do almost anything. In sum, wonderful idea but the app needs a lot of work to be usable. I suggest hiring more software programmers and including an option for users to report bugs that need fixing.

This app consistently delivers a server error and does not function properly. I am not able to change any search parameters at all. So frustrating.

Whenever I try to change the filter to show only dogs in my area, I get an error message and it goes back to showing me dogs all over the US. Not helpful. Too bad!

great idea, but crashes a lot when looking for dogs to borrow or presents you with random errors-- please fix!!
