Safety, trust & environment

I don’t offer boarding at my home (my own dog isn’t the best host...) but I’m happy to provide loving, attentive care in your pet’s familiar space. I’m a strong guy and very comfortable handling large dogs, even if they’re a bit “enthusiastic” on the leash. I'd love to talk about your pet’s routines, quirks, and favorite toys. I'm also comfortable giving medication to dog and cats, my own senior pup is a bit special needs and takes 6 prescriptions daily...

Went out of town and couldn’t bring Apollo with us. Alex stepped up and we were able to enjoy the trip with no worries. Came back to a happy pup!

Alex did a great job. He’s clearly very familiar with handling different types of dogs, and it showed in how confidently and calmly he interacted with mine. I’m really happy with his service.
