In 2014, Liam Berkeley started a company called Bark’n’Borrow. The trouble started long before this company, with his desire for a dog. Liam wanted a dog to play with, but not actually taking care of full-time. Thus emerged an ingenious company that allows for a temporary borrowing of your neighbor’s dog. You can use Bark’n’Borrow to take the cute nearby dog on a walk or simply hang out for a couple hours. Some dog lovers may have concerns for the safety of their dogs with strangers. Luckily, the self-proclaimed aim of Bark ‘N’ Borrow is to provide the safest experience possible to all our members and their dogs. Every person who joins the pack has had a trustworthy team review and verification of their profile. They pride themselves in being thorough and dedicated to only offering the best of the best. For extra protection, and in case of emergencies, Bark ‘n’ Borrow also provides 24/7 customer support. Borrow a dog for the day, today!

If they don’t, they should offer this at every college. It’s a really cool idea, but I think that the only time I would use it is for a birthday party or something like that.
Is this something that can be extended to other pets? Dogs are known for the classic appeal, but there are some people that do not like dogs, and would not borrow a dog, but may borrow a cat or some other pet. Is there a possible market there?
