Dog Lover Here!

Greetings, fellow pet lovers! We are a family of lifelong dog lovers and handlers committed to providing a safe, consistent, and exceptionally loving environment for your best friend. Having always shared our home with dogs—from puppies to seniors—we understand the full spectrum of canine needs, moods, and personalities. Our sweet Egyptian rescue, Amar (4) is friendly, great with children, and always looking for a new pal to play with. Since someone is always at home, your dog will never be lonely. We warmly welcome dogs of all sizes! To Summarize .... Why Choose Our Home? We don't just love dogs—we understand them. We strive to provide attentive, high-quality care, including: Understanding Body Language: We are attuned to subtle cues, ensuring all play is friendly, safe, and comfortable for every dog in our care. Structured & Consistent Care: We strictly adhere to your dog's established feeding, medication, and walking schedules. Consistency is key to a happy, calm dog! Specialized Needs Welcome: Whether your dog requires medication, senior care, or a slower pace, we have the experience to manage it with patience and diligence. A Gentle Family Environment: Our home includes three gentle, dog-savvy children (ages 7-10) who have been raised to be respectful and loving companions. Our current sweet rescue, who is friendly and social, also loves welcoming a new pal. Someone is Always Home: Your dog will have virtually constant companionship and supervision. They will never be lonely or bored. Dedicated Attention: We offer frequent potty breaks (4-two in the garden, and 2 longer walks), supervised play, and plenty of one-on-one cuddles on the couch. Safe & Secure: Our home is fully dog-proofed, offering a safe and contained space for all guests, big or small. We are committed to making your dog's stay feel like a fun vacation. We provide regular "pupdates" and photos so you can relax knowing your family member is happy, safe, and receiving the absolute best care. Tell us about your wonderful dog—we can't wait to meet them!

Doggy Day Care • Sep 08, 2026

Lam and Ilana have taken care of Frankie weekly and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They are reliable, highly communicative, and genuinely love animals. Frankie was always so excited to see them and came home happy and well cared for every single time. We received wonderful updates and photos throughout our bookings, which gave us total peace of mind. I cannot recommend them highly enough :)

Doggy Day Care • Sep 01, 2026

I don’t usually write reviews, but I really wanted to take the time to write this one because I truly appreciate the wonderful care they give Biscuit. Biscuit absolutely loves going there! As soon as we get close, he knows exactly where he’s going and gets so excited. Seeing how happy and comfortable he is gives me so much peace of mind. They always keep me updated with pictures throughout the day, which I really appreciate, and Biscuit always comes home happy. They are also incredibly kind, helpful and accommodating, and have gone above and beyond for us. It’s those little things that really show how much they care. I feel very comfortable leaving Biscuit with them, and I’m so grateful to have found people I can trust to take such good care of my boy. I truly appreciate everything they do and highly recommend them! ❤️🐾

Communicated with us very well, and our dog was a very happy one, and had a great day! I felt very comfortable leaving our pup here. And they were able to accommodate us last minute as well. Thank you so much again! I would highly recommend booking with Ilana and Lambros!

I only board my girl with Ilana and Lambros. Ava stayed in their care for two weeks while I was away, and Ilana kept me updated throughout her stay with photos and messages. She was also available if I had any questions or concerns. When I picked up Ava, she was happy and cared for. Ilana and Lambros are highly reliable, caring sitters, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Thank you both for taking such great care of Ava!

This was Denali’s third stay with Ilana and Lambros, and they are the best sitters around! They always take amazing care of her and send regular photo updates, which provides complete peace of mind. They have a beautiful, welcoming family, and Denali always seems incredibly comfortable and right at home from the moment she arrives. Finding such trustworthy and caring sitters is a true relief. Highly recommended for anyone looking for pet care and will definitely be booking again!
