Borrow a Pet

We'll work hard to match you with a Lender! Lenders are regular pet owners around Australia who are open to lending their pet to you:

Are you an animal lover who would love to own a pet, but can't because of rent restrictions, space, time, study...? Join Lend a Pet and get some fur time!

Are you looking for a dog to walk? Exercise is more fun with dogs! This can be a one-off walk, a weekly arrangement, whatever you and the Lender decide on! The timeframe is negotiable!

Would you like to test whether a pet is right for you? A pet is a huge commitment, try it out first. We understand that it's easy to get wrapped up in the cuteness, but are you really ready?

Would you love the company of a dog? But aren't ready to get your own? Then you've come to the right place.

Are you looking to cheer up the office by brining a dog in for the day?

Are you looking for something fun and inexpensive to do on the weekend? Why not take a dog for a nice walk?

When matched, we send the Lender and Borrower an Information Pack that you must go through together. This document has lots of useful information.

Lend a Pet is spreading happiness to pets and animal lovers across Australia! Animals really do have a superpower, cheer up your day!

If your membership is affected by COVID, (lockdowns and restrictions stopping you from meeting your match), we will extend your membership at no cost.

"My dog has a lot of energy and he doesn't tire easily. I don't always have the time, or energy, to walk him. Lend a Pet gives me a break and him more exercise. It's great for him, he absolutely loves it"
