Highlights
Pet care experience
Huge fully fenced yard & 2 sitters!
*We are slowing down our pet sitting business, and are currently only taking existing clients. EXISTING CLIENTS: Our calendar may not be up to date, please reach out to request dates. We are not booking more than 2 months out.* We are lifelong dog lovers, each having grown up with a childhood dog, and now we’ve got two rescue pups – Bane and Laya – of our own. Before we moved to Connecticut from the greater Boston area in 2021, we were volunteers at a local dog shelter for 3+ years. Our family and friends have trusted us with their dogs while they traveled on numerous occasions, and we look forward to taking care of your pups, too.

Gracie loves her time at Alex & Kyle’s! I love that I know she is in good hands and having fun with her furry friends! Thank you!
I am happy I can leave my dog without worrying! Alex & Kyle are amazing with my dog. I highly recommend them to provide a fun, safe environment for your dog! Thank you!!
As soon as we pull down Alex & Kyle’s driveway Gracie gets excited! Gracie loves to go there and play! She comes home happy and tired! Thank you again!
Bella came back home exhausted and happy! Alexandra and Kyle are great communicators and clearly care a lot for dogs!
As always Alex & Kyle took great care of Gracie! We appreciate them and highly recommend them! Thank you!!!!
I had an amazing experience with Alexandra and Kyle! They were genuinely caring towards my dog Frankie and incredibly attentive to him; giving him lots of attention. Daily updates with photos and a video kept me at ease while I was away. Upon picking up Frankie he seemed happy and relaxed. The fenced in yard was dog-friendly and clean. I highly recommend Alexandra and Kyle and will book with them again!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
We both work from home Monday through Friday, and outside of work, our lives revolve around our dogs – they let us know when it’s time to wake up, when it’s time for bed, and pretty much everything in between. WEEKDAY DROPOFFS: If you are hoping to drop off your dog during the week, we may require an early morning (before 8am) drop off so that all of the dogs can settle before we begin our work days. We will let you know if this applies to you when you request to book. ADVANCED BOOKINGS: We are not currently booking more than 2 months in advance of a dog’s stay.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We require a brief meet and greet for all new clients before we can commit to caring for your pup. For boarding and daycare, weather permitting, meet and greets take place in our fully fenced backyard so that (1) the dogs can get to know one another off leash and (2) we can all assess whether it’ll be a good fit for boarding/daycare. We politely ask that you leave young children at home or in the car during these meet and greets to ensure we’re seeing an accurate representation of how all the dogs might behave during boarding/daycare (we do not have children in the home). During boarding/daycare, our dogs freely roam our home, but we can separate and supervise as needed. Outdoor play is always supervised. We also feed the dogs separately, or as otherwise specified by owners (e.g. in their crate). Note: We are not currently accepting dogs from multiple clients at a time, but may make exceptions for repeat clients that we are familiar with. We will let you know if this exception applies to you or your booking (whether you are a new or repeat client). All of our clients are required to schedule a meet and greet before their stay, and we will never agree to take a dog that we feel may create an unsafe environment for the other dogs in our home (our clients' or our own).
Pets
A typical day
Our dogs and boarding/daycare clients typically spend their days playing or napping in the living room and romping around our fully fenced yard (see photo, chain link fence is 4 feet tall). They will often tire themselves out playing with one another, but we are happy to take your dog for walks (weather permitting) around our quiet neighborhood if you prefer or that’s what they’re used to for daily exercise. We just ask that you provide a standard leash (we will not walk dogs using retractable leashes). If your pup likes to play fetch, we’ve got frisbees, Jolly Balls, and a Chuck-It stick for the backyard. If they prefer to curl up on the couch instead of the floor for a nap, we’re fine with that! Let us know what your dog’s regular routine is like, and we’ll do what we can to keep things as consistent as possible during their stay. HIGH ENERGY DOGS: We may not be a good fit if your dog’s energy levels exceed those of our own dogs and/or if your dog requires exercise beyond backyard play + 1-2 brief walks/day. In some cases, we’ll accept high energy dogs at our puppy rate to ensure we are able to provide the engagement your dog requires.
