Our users’ stories:

This is how they share their dogs

Shared care

Dog Coucou has four caregivers who look after him regularly. This way, he gets the extra exercise he needs and even learns commands in four different languages.

No daily obligations

Gloria doesn’t want to commit to having her own dog right now, but she loves dogs and now takes a neighbor’s dog for walks whenever she has the chance.

Valuable experiences

Owning a dog takes a lot of time. Through dogsharing, Olivia gives her daughter the chance to spend time with dogs without having to commit to several walks every single day.

Joint dog care

Verena and Markus adopted a dog from the shelter, but he doesn’t get along well with their other dogs. Dogsharing was the solution that allowed them to keep him.

New friendships

Ralf and Elke’s family regularly borrow Pedro’s four-legged friends, whom they met through Hundelieb – Germany’s largest dogsharing platform.

More exercise

Deborah met dog Sammy, with whom she spends time on a regular basis. It gives her a healthy balance to her office job while at the same time easing the load for the owners, Sebastian and Nicole.

    I recently registered with Happy Puppy and was contacted just one day later. I met my dog-sharing match while on vacation and we hit it off from the start. We all got on really well - owner, borrower and dog, so we’re going to stay in contact. We’d never have met like this under normal circumstances.

  • Rebecca & Martin

    Whenever we plan something without Lotta, our Saint Bernhard, she has the opportunity to spend time with a really nice couple who, due to their jobs, don’t have time to own a dog full time. If they suggest taking the dog with them on a day out, Lotta really loves the extra attention and exercise. There have already been two meetings, and for Lotta and our new dog-sharing partners it was love at first sight. All I can say is that this is a fantastic idea!

    I’m single and live with my dog. Now and again, I need a dogsitter, and this site has given me a means of finding several dog-sharing partners – students, families with kids and various others, too. I never knew how many people were so interested in looking after a dog without any financial motivation.

    3 months ago, it was just me and my dog walking into town. Happy Puppy provided a great opportunity to get to know three really pleasant students who were really keen on taking my dog with them when they went on walks. When the timing’s right they look after her when I go out dancing. I’m delighted to see my dog so happy. It’s so much easier to hand her over now.

  • Olivia & Daughter

    We got to know Fine through Happy Puppy. For me the aim was for us to spend some time with a dog without immediately buying one. We’re also able to ease the pressure on the owner. We take Fine on Thursdays, and sometimes look after the dog for a couple of days running. The experience has already made our lives so much richer.

    I was able to find someone in my local area via Happy Puppy; someone I can definitely rely on, who cares about animals and sees it as a chance to help me by looking after my dog when I don’t have the time. It’s an ideal solution; better than kennels, and that’s better for my dog, too.
