Pet care experience

Experienced and caring pet owner.

We pride ourselves in making sure that your dog has the best time with us. Whether it’s a 3 mile loop through Prospect Park in the morning, or a movie night in snuggling on the couch, your fur baby will be well taken care of. Each of us has grown up with pets (both dogs and cats) and had our own dog, Rhea, for many years. Marissa also was a dog mom to Charming and got him in college. Our dogs were our whole world and know better than anyone that our dogs are more than just pets, they are family. For new clients who want to book boarding for more than one night, we kindly request a meet and greet to ensure that your pet is comfortable with us and for us to gauge their temperament. They are very casual and can include a quick meet up at a park or public area or you’re welcome to stop by our home. We can be flexible depending on your needs and schedule!

Alex + Marissa are a star doggy duo! What a gift to leave our puppy in the care of thoughtful, kind and competent folks who are genuinely enthusiastic about spending time with him. Highly recommend and eternally grateful!

Great experience. We met with Marissa and Alex prior to dates, so everyone felt comfortable. They were extremely loving to our dog, easy to work and communicate with. We felt like they treated him like their own. Our mini schnauzer got nice long walks and it was obvious he was comfortable under their care.

Alexander and Marissa were amazing with Rookie! They took the time to really understand her quirks and cater to her needs! They sent fun updates and pictures the whole time and I always knew she was in good hands! I’d highly recommend them!!

Alex and Marissa were amazing dog sitters! Both were reliable, communicative, and clearly very caring. They kept me updated and made sure my dog was happy and well cared for. Even helped me drop my dog off since I was out of town. I’d absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them!

Schedule

Alex is currently working from home so every morning, a walk to Prospect Park is on the agenda, assuming your pup likes a good walk. After that, mid-morning, lunchtime, afternoon and evening walks can be done, depending on your pets needs, and we will always work in bathroom breaks and food throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a hardwood apartment just to make sure all accidents can be covered. We also have a dog park on our roof for easy play time. No matter where I am, we always treat pets as if they are our own with all the love and care in the world.

A typical day

A typical day will involve all kinds of play time. We like to walk down to prospect park during off leash hours for play time. And also provide plenty of play time at our rooftop dog park at our apartment.
