Pet care experience

Spacious and fun environment

Located in beautiful Brooktondale, NY, just off Rt. 79, We offer lots of outdoor space, woodsy hikes and a swimming pond. Our family is happy to have new furry friends come and stay with us short term, long term and daycare. Our backyard is fenced with wooded snow fence that is approximately 3 1/2 to 4 feet tall, If your pet can jump that or easily break through, please consider a different caretaker. Our set up includes a doggy door to the yard. Dogs are free to roam the property within the fenced area as they please. If your pet needs leashed walks and constant supervision please consider a different caretaker. We always appreciate Tips, they cover fees, treats, chew toys, tennis balls and poopy bags, so Thank you! ❤️

Alex took wonderful care of our dog, Lulu! She had an amazing time with him and came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. He made sure she spent plenty of time outside playing and getting exercise, which she absolutely loved. Alex was reliable, caring, and kept us updated, giving us peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious that he genuinely loves dogs and treats them like his own. We would absolutely trust him with Lulu again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a kind and dependable dog sitter. Thank you, Alex!

Alex watched my two dogs for 5 days while I was away on a trip and was excellent! Very communicative and accommodating for drop off and pick-up, making things very easy. He sent tons of pictures and updates on how they were doing and all the fun they were having. They had a great time running, playing, and wading in the pond. Would absolutely recommend Alex for any boarding needs!! He was exceptional.

Schedule

I work from home as a woodworker, so having enough time to spend with animals throughout the day is very easy for me. I spend a lot of time outside doing garden work, throwing tennis balls and swimming in the pond with all the animals.

I would definitely want to know how well your pet behaves with other pets, But that is mostly so I establish proper boundaries for everyone’s safety. I’m happy to welcome a pet who might feel nervous at first. Our approach is always to have compassion and kindness.
