Highlights
Pet care experience
Welcome to our Veterinarian Family!
I love dogs and have owned a dog myself for all of my life. I have grown up around an assortment of breeds in my family; from Maltese to Yorkies, to mid-size terrier mutts, to big Golden Retrievers and German Shepherds. I really, really, love dogs, and currently have three fur-babies I'm obsessed with. My partner, Stephen, is a licensed and practicing veterinarian at a local clinic in LA! He has practiced at the vet schools of UC Davis and UIUC as well. We are definitely a home that understands animals. My babies are all rescues, and we have the philosophy that every dog deserves to be given the world. I work from home, so I can spend plenty of time daily with your fur-babies as well! If you want your dog to hang out with people who absolutely adore them, and who believe every dog deserves utmost happiness, we are your pet's family away from home. I value providing happiness, comfort, and safety to every dog I meet. Currently, we are located in the heart of downtown Long Beach, and we live in a very lovely and new apartment complex with secure fenced areas right on the Promenade, so your dogs have plenty of walking areas to enjoy safely! We even have a vet (not affiliated) located below us, and also a mobile groomer that comes to the apartment! PS. Dr. Stephen Durdle (my partner and the vet) also has a 5-star sitter page, if you want to vet our combined profiles and the satisfaction we have had from everyone we have worked with! https://www.rover.com/sit/stephd09154 LGBTQ+ family Welcome & Celebrated! We identify as a very progressive couple. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🐾

Ratings and reviews
Alice and Stephen were incredibly professional and able to accommodate me on a week’s notice for Christmas. I would definitely use them again. Thank you!
Alice took Cheebo in like he was her own. She was very responsive and helpful! I received photo updates of my pup having a great time and he came home all worn out from playing :)
Great host! Sent pictures regularly and flexible won’t drop off and pick up time. Took great care of our dog. Would definitely recommend!
Alice & Stephan have been great! I got updates & Alice was very communicative. I would definitely recommend them.
Our little pup, Mochi, stayed at Alice's for the memorial weekend. Alice was responsive, honest, caring, and experienced - she really took the extra mile to make sure our little Mochi (who has some social anxiety around other dogs) was taken care of. Alice has given Mochi countless spas/bathing treatments and washes of Mochi's bed, over the weekend, to care for his nervous peeing, updating us on a regular basis, accommodating arrangements for pick up/drop offs. I felt safe having Mochi in her care. Thank you!
Really friendly and caring service. Even took my dog to the vet to make sure he was ok when a potential problem surfaced.

A typical day
We walk at a park full of soft, green, grass. We watch/cuddle for a lot of TV together on the couch too! And plenty of play time at home.

- I want to know if they're house-trained, crate-trained, aggressive, or have severe separation anxiety. Any other health needs, special needs, etc. are also important to tell us, to ensure the best care.
