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! ❤️

This was a first for us! First Rover experience so first with Alex. We rec’d lots of pics (more than 50 over 13 days!) showing lots of play time, rest, & snuggles - clearly looks like fun summer camp adventures for Bodhe. He’s sacked out now! Thanks, Alex! .

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.

Pets

A typical day

Daily activities include chasing balls, playing with other dogs, going on a backyard hike through the woods, swimming! It’s a doggy paradise! Sometimes just lounging under the sun and getting a belly rub is more than enough!

41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Alex can host up to 3 pets per night
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.
