Highlights
Pet care experience
A dog-loving couple you can trust
Hi there! We’re Alex and Susie, and we’re available to look after or walk your dog in the local area. We’ve both had great experiences with Borrowmydoggy, taking care of a dachshund, cockapoo and other small/medium sized dogs. Alex also regularly looked after a toy poodle for several years. We only recently joined Rover at the end of 2025. We’ve both got lots of experience with animals - Susie grew up with a mix of cats and dogs, including dachshunds and a rescue dog. She’s also a keen horse rider, and owned and cared for a horse for 20+ years. Alex grew up with a Lhasa Apso and Cavalier King Charles and he has also had pet rabbits and rats along the way.

Ratings and reviews
Pepper had a great time on his walk and came back very happy! He seemed to take to his walker straight away, which was really reassuring. He was friendly, reliable and clearly very good with dogs, and I felt completely comfortable leaving Pepper with him. Really pleased with the experience and would definitely book with him again. Highly recommend!
Alex did a brilliant job looking after Ezzie. Was really communicative, generous with his time and clearly great with dogs! Would definitely use him again.
Super smooth first booking! Very happy dog and owner, thanks guys.
Thank you so very much Milo had lots of fun 🐾
Thank you so much for having Milo. I do believe if he could talk. He would say he had a mighty fine day 🐾🐾🐾
Alex was great with our dogs. Super responsive, flexible and they both loved him. Would recommend! Will definitely book again.

Schedule
We both work from home most of the time and are able to do doggy day care, walks or drop ins a few times during the week. This would be mainly during working hours but could occasionally do evenings or the odd weekend day, but depending on other plans. We have a car, so easy to travel within the local area. We’re very flexible!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a safe enclosed garden, with grass, and some dog toys and bowls etc. We don’t have pets of our own but have plenty of experience looking after others, and would only ever have your pet at home at any time, so can give them our full attention. We also live very close to a number of green spaces, including South Norwood country park, so have plenty of options for local walks too!
A typical day
Playtime, cuddles and walks are the main features of a day with us! We have some toys, and love to get out for exercise ourselves. Happy to follow each dog’s daily routine, but very happy entertaining a dog and making sure they are having fun and being looked after.
