Happy Paws, One Tail at a Time!

Pet care experience

My husband, Yianni & I (Alexandra) have always been the go-to couple when our friends need someone to look after their dogs when they go away. Yianni grew up with dogs his entire life and hopefully in the near future we will get our own. But for now, since we absolutely enjoy their company and love dogs so much, we thought why not extend our services? We enjoy taking them for walks and give them the personal attention they need so they don't feel like their parents are gone. In order to give them that personal attention, we only take care of 1 owner's dog(s) at a time. Our hours are flexible, our home is in a friendly neighborhood and on a quiet street (no car traffic). If you want to feel your dogs are in great hands and want to have peace of mind when you have to leave for a few days, then contact us!

Alexandra and her husband Yianni are wonderful dog sitters. They do this for their love of dogs, and it shows. This was the third or fourth time we’ve left our furbaby with them, My dog makes himself right at home and is always safe, happy, loved and well cared for during his stay. I am completely comfortable leaving him there. Alexandra texts me pictures as well, which is nice. If you are looking for a local dog sitter, I encourage you to take your dog and go meet them! I know you will love them as much as we do!

Cannot say enough WONDERFUL things about this couple! Always hard dropping off our furry little ones. Besides the fact that they are truly genuine people........they go so far out of their way to may EVERYTHING just PERFECT! They could not have expressed more love or concern and continually tried to make me feel comfortable. I would use them over and over again!! A wonderful find!!

A typical day

Walks / Backyard We love to go for walks in our quiet, safe, treeline neighborhood. We will take them out 3-4 times a day or as many times as your dog wishes! During the weekends, we love to spend it in our backyard weather permitting and have playtime with them (play fetch/run around). Since our backyard is partially fenced, we take extra care of keeping an eye out for them. We also have an exercise pen that is large for your dog to run around in and be safe with no issue of roaming outside our yard. What to bring? We ask that you bring their food/treats, bed and anything else that will make your dog/puppy feel right at home. We have food bowls, blankets, and toys. We also have treats to give them if that is OK with the pet owner. Sleeping Arrangements Your dog is welcome to sleep wherever he/she feels most comfortable in our home. The only thing we don't allow is dogs on our bed. We do feel bad leaving dogs in their crates. However, if you have trained your dog to sleep there, we of course will follow your lead and instructions. End of the day your peace of mind and your dog's comfort is important to us! Drop-Off/Pick-Up We like to work around your schedule so you have one less thing to worry about when you are planning for your day's travel (i.e.: making a flight, beating traffic). Therefore, before booking your stay, we can work out pick-up and drop off times to suit your needs. We also understand due to travels, you may not always be able to come back at that same time. If that's the case, there would only be an add'l flat fee of $20 for pick up at anytime that exceeds the time you had dropped them off.
