The Dynamic Duo of Dogs

Pet care experience

Hello, I'm Alex! I am a former Veterinary Technician with 3 years of training, and I've lived around animals my entire life. I have a strong passion for taking care of animals large and small. I am experienced in caring for cats, dogs, reptiles, rodents, insects, and many more! My wife, also named Alex, is a professional dog trainer and photographer. Between the two of us, we have years of knowledge regarding animal behavior and care-giving. We can guarantee that if you book with us, your pet will receive the highest quality comfort and safety. We're currently living in a small, quiet neighborhood just north of Memphis. Our house boasts a spacious backyard, with a gated enclosure for introducing new pets safely! We also have easy access to a patch of forest near our house, multiple small parks, and dog-friendly venues and restaurants! Aside from the usual necessities that every pet needs (food, water, and toys), our home is equipped with a variety of kennels, a secure dog bedroom, two litter boxes, and security cameras to ensure that no pets go unsupervised for too long. Our personal pet family consists of a 2yr old mixed-breed dog, adorable Dutch Shepherd puppy, two playful DSH cats, and two reptiles that live in terrariums.

Alexander did a great job taking care of my crew (1 senior dog and 3 cats)! He was very attentive to detail, and everyone was happy and healthy when I returned.

Alexander is the best! I have continued to use him for drop ins several times a week with my dogs for 3 months now and he is so reliable and flexible and the dogs love him. I never have to worry about whether or not my pups will get attention and care and he always sends several pictures of each playing outside and tucked safely back into their beds with treats.

Safety, trust & environment

We live in a cozy house with a spacious fenced-in backyard. Dog boarders will be able to play, run around outside, and spend quality time with us during the day. Cat boarders will have their own space to roam on the other side of the house, away from barking or loud noises. All dogs are kept separated in kennels while unsupervised, to minimize accidents and discourage bad behavior. We have experience mitigating and deescalating aggressive pet situations, so your dogs will receive top notch protection and security.

Information Alexander T. would like to know about your pet

- Emergency Contact information and preferred Veterinarian. - Any relevant allergies, medical conditions, or daily medications. - Up-to-date vaccination history (and what vaccines are required if not UTD). - Is your pet allowed on furniture? - Special needs, such as mobility issues, diet restrictions, aggression, or anything else you can think of. Knowing all of these ahead of time will allow me to fast-track the initial booking, and ensure that your dog receives the highest quality care! Let me know if your pet has any additional requirements and I can accommodate them.

A typical day

As dog trainers, a big part of the job is helping dogs work in an environment that is physically/mentally stimulating, and allows them to choose good behaviors. Boarding dogs will occasionally have the opportunity to tag along on field trips to parks, shopping centers, and other public locations, while also receiving plenty of love and exercise at home.

Availability

I'm a stay-at-home husband working around the clock to keep the house tidy, so your pets will have 24/7 care and affection! Dogs will receive bathroom breaks every 3 hours, supervised playtime in the morning and afternoon, as well as breakfast and dinner if they stay overnight. If your dog is allowed on furniture, let me know ahead of time and they can watch TV with us on the couch or snuggle up in bed! When I'm not at home, I will be helping my wife train dogs, running errands, or dropping into a client's home to look after their pet.
