Getting our dog fix in :)
Pet care experience
I have always loved dogs ever since I was little. Every year for my birthday, I asked for a dog. On my 17th birthday, I asked my dad to bring my home my favorite candy, Reeses peanut butter cups. I walked in from dinner and saw a tiny puppy (half pitbull, half greyhound) sitting on my couch. My dad said, "surprise, I got you Reeses". I never got my candy, but I did get the best birthday present ever, a puppy! Since I was 17, my mom made sure Reeses was my responsibility. I took him for walks every day at all hours of the day and night, played with at constantly, and cleaned up after all his accidents and puppy messes. Now that I am in NYC, my dog, now 10 years old, stays with my parents and I miss him so much. I would love to care for other dogs, play, cuddle and love them. I will provide dog sitting, which includes taking your dog for a long walk, feeding your dogs, playing with your dogs, and most of all loving your dog :) I work full time at a school in manhattan: my hours are 8am-3pm, however, I am walking distance, so I can come back during my 45 minute lunch break for walks and cuddles. I live with my fiance, who can also take care of dogs. He works 9am-5pm in FiDi, but has the option of working from home. He can take your dog out in the morning, I will take him/her out when I return around 3:10, and any other time after that, unless my fiance is working from home, then there are no time restrictions. COVID 19 update: As of now 2/4/21, we are both working from home, so you’re pup will not be alone at all during the day :) We also are only doing pick ups/drop offs in the West Village area. * we may charge for an extra day if drop off is before 11am and pick up is after 7pm, thanks! We love dogs and are super excited to meet you and your little/big one!!
Reviews
Our dog Hugo had another fantastic stay with Alexis and David!! We can see by the frequent updates and pictures they send us that he has so much fun with them and is always eager to go back. We are so happy we found such wonderful people to watch our dog for us!
Alexis and David has taken care of our dog Hazel two times now, (once for a day stay, and the second time for three nights) and in such little time, this has become Hazel's second home. We are very grateful to have found Alexis and David, knowing that Hazel goes to them without hesitation and that she is so happy when she is with them. We highly recommend Alexis and David to care for your dog.
Our dog Hazel is a rescue, she is circumspect and standoff-ish with new people, the warm up period can be long before she starts showing signs of trust. During Hazel's first stay with Alexis and David, Hazel uncharacteristically bonded with them almost immediately, this naturally put us at great ease. Throughout the day, Alexis provided updates and pictures to let us know how well Hazel was adjusting to her new environment. Hazel was making herself at home. We are very pleased with this experience and already booked another stay with Alexis and David!
My dog had a lovely stay with Alexis and David. They took him for walks around the West Village and took very good care of him. :)
