You’d be lucky to book with Alex. Daily photos and totally respecting our instructions for dog’s care/needs. Will be our go-to choice for the next boarding!

Alex was fantastic with our dog Onyx. We received regular updates, and Onyx and Alex's dog got along great. They managed integrating Onyx with their dog very well and didn't rush anything allowing them to establish a good relationship. They have a very nice, quiet space and are available with your pet the majority of the time if not constantly. I would definitely recommend Alex to any friend that needed a dog watched.

My dog, Sam, loves Alex! He genuinely cares about dogs. You'll feel it from him. I appreciate his attention to her needs, schedule and other details, too. He's intuitive, smart and attentive. Your dog will not just have needs met: there will be extra attention and play, too!

Super caring and attentive. Loves on my pets like they’re his own (or better, really). Great location for dropping off for either daycare or overnights. Would highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

Our lakeside home is your pet's dream come true. Nestled in a picturesque natural setting, our pet-friendly haven offers breathtaking lake views, a secure environment, and ample space for your pets to feel right at home. Our large, partially fenced yard has plenty of room for your pets to explore all the sights and sounds our lakeside has to offer. We also have a lengthy run line set up for extended play sessions outside to keep them safe and on location. For an extra layer of fun and companionship, we have a energetic host dog residing in the house! Your pets will have a furry friend to share playtime with, ensuring their stay is memorable and engaging.

Pets

A typical day

Allow your pets to embrace the great outdoors with daily lakeside strolls. I will ensure your pets can immerse themselves in the serene sounds of nature while basking in the crisp lake air. It's like a daily adventure just for them! Playtime is a central part of the Lakeside Pet Retreat experience. I will make sure your pets have a blast, from chasing balls to tugging on toys, and even enjoying leisurely sunbaths by the lake. The fun never stops!

Please let me know if your dog requires any special attention ahead of time and I will do my best to accommodate. Due to having a "host dog" of my own, I prefer to do a "meet and greet" a few days prior to your visit to make sure it's a good fit all around. :)
