The Crazy DOG couple!

Pet care experience

We both work from home, and love the company of our dogs. Bring your pet to play with our small pack (4 pups)! We do feedings, walks, dog park walks and are very capable with giving medicine if needed. We have a very large fenced in yard and actively play at least 4 hours a day with the dogs outside. We make every effort to make sure your pup is comfortable and having a good time! We give constant photos and feedback during their stay. PLEASE NOTE: We are located in south Raleigh, cusp of Garner. I've had more than a few people be surprised of where we are located. I just want you to be aware when you book. Thanks! Why we love dog sitting I grew up in family that always had at minimum 3 dogs. At one point there were 7 dogs in our building. It was awesome. At 13, I got my first dog for myself - Serena. She has been my companion and rock for many stages of my life. I can't imagine a life without dogs. My husband and I married after 10 years together in 2013, for our 1st year anniversary we got Zero our husky mix boy, he's awesome and such a sweetie. Two weeks later we rescued Jessie our Lab mix from the back of a moving truck. She was barely 8 weeks old. She's a handful but full of love, she is roughly 10 months old. Atari is the newest addition, 8 months old, rescued from poor conditions here in Raleigh. We also have a grumpy little guy named GOLIATH.. who is a Russian Dwarf Hamster. About my yard I have both an open backyard and a fenced area that it just for the dogs use. We take them out on potty breaks often and give them free time in our fenced yard about an hour (if cold) to 4 hrs a day. We monitor them constantly and play with them if weather permits us to be outside long. Generally though they enjoy chasing each other like lunatics for the time outside :) We also enjoy walks around the neighborhood. My experience administering medication Very Comfortable. Own dogs have had to be on medication a few times.

My family and I can not say enough good things about Alexandra and Mark! This was the first time we went away and were not worried about Rocky the entire time we were gone. They are both very knowledgeable and caring with their own dogs and this carried over to ours. He was taken care of like he was their own, even with his very picky recent eating habits! And a special thank you to Atari, Zero, Shadow and Jessie for welcoming Rocky into your pack. He was very happy while he was with them and VERY tired when he came home! We will definitely call Alexandra and Mark the next time we go away and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and compassionate dog sitters. Your fur baby will be in excellent hands while you are away.

Alexandra was super friendly and very accommodating. She treated Benson like one of her own dogs. He came home exhausted! Thank you!

Shadow had a super stay with Alexandra and Mark. Several pictures kept us informed all the way and gave us the reassurance that Shadow was in good hands while we were out on vacation.

Alexandra is a wonderful and responsible dog owner. Myself being a new puppy owner am always asking Alex for tips or any concern of mines, I find her help valuable and knowledgeable. All her 3 dogs are in happy and healthy conditions.
