Friendly, happy, love-filled home!

Pet care experience

Share your pup with us and they will be showered with love! My husband (Pema) and I (Alana) adore every dog that we've had stay with us--those who are cuddly, active, or silly, and those who have special needs (behavioral or physical illnesses) who do well in a calm environment. After fostering numerous stray dogs, we both got an itch to have dogs be a more steady part of our lives. Pema is a chef and I am a doctoral student, which gives us a very flexible schedule, and means I am home most of the day typing away. Pema has worked previously in a veterinarian clinic, and grew up with sheep, yaks, and enormous mastiffs in the grasslands of Tibet, while I grew up in New York, with little dogs named Doodle, Tootsie, and Bambi. Between the two of us, there is a lot of love for our animal friends. We have a fenced in yard, and always go for walks with the dogs we watch, so just tell us their outdoor time/ exercise needs! We’ve watched a range of dogs, from young puppies to esteemed elder pups. The smallest brought to us through Rover was 5lbs, the largest was 175lbs! It was a tight fit in our one bedroom, but we made it work! We both have administered medicine (oral and topical) and given insulin shots to diabetic dogs. We know how scary it can be to leave your love with strangers, and you can expect regular updates and photos from us to keep your mind at ease. We're so excited to meet your pups and you!

FIVE STARS. Alana and her husband did a great job caring for our dog. They obviously love dogs and they provided a comfortable and safe environment. I plan on using them again in the future.

Alana was able to accommodate us last minute and was amazing! She made Lola feel right at home instantly. I so appreciated all of the pictures and updates we got and she was very quick to respond to my messages. Lola had a huge smile on her face when I picked her up. Can’t wait to use her again!

Alana and her husband were awesome. They were communicative and provided lots of updates during the day. This was my first doggy day care experience and they made it so easy. My little Luna pup had a great time!
