Doggy Day Care • Feb 20, 2024

Love how many pictures and videos are sent throughout the day. We’re very happy with how much attention my dog clearly gets while in Maria and Alex’s care. They are definitely our first choice when we need someone to watch our dog from Rover!

Boarding • Feb 18, 2024

Worst sitter!! They have negative attitude, started complaining as soon as we drop off. And Ofcourse since your pup can’t speak so all blame to your pup!! I had to pick up my pup middle of the night. Because they kept on complaining and blaming my pup! If you can’t be a dog sitter don’t be a dog sitter!! DONT trust them!! Your pup can’t speak so they will put everything on your pup!!

Doggy Day Care • Feb 06, 2024

Kai gets daily doggy care and he is always happy and tired (a dog owner’s dream!) when I come to pick him up after work. Kai and their dog, Haku, get along very well and have become quick friends. Maria and Alex are always sending me pictures of Kai playing, napping, or when they take him on a walk- which always make my day. I am confident that he is well cared for while he is there. On top of that, they always communicate any info I need to know in advance and are flexible with my ever-changing work schedule. Definitely recommend!

Doggy Day Care • Aug 15, 2023

We are very pleased with Alex and Maria looking after Max. Max takes a little while to warm up to other dogs but they were patient in getting him comfortable and got along with Haku. They gave frequent updates and lots of pictures. They were also very responsive and flexible. We will definitely use them again when Max needs a sitter.

Boarding • Aug 14, 2023

Maria and Alex took great care of our puppy. They collected relevant information ahead of the boarding dates, in an organized manner, which enabled them to know our puppy better and thus provide better care. They provided regular updates and were timely in their response to any messages. Their dog Haku was a great play buddy too. We would trust them with our puppy's care again.

Schedule

Since Alex and I both work from home, we are always present to shower your dog with attention, starting bright and early at 6am with those important potty breaks. Your pup will be greeted with morning cuddles and walks to kickstart their day. Nature enthusiasts rejoice! If your dog has a taste for adventure, we're ready to hit the trails together. Exploring scenic hiking paths is a favorite pastime of ours, and we can't wait to share the wonders of the great outdoors with your pup. We understand the importance of downtime and snuggles. Your dog will have full access to the comfiest couches and beds, where they can stretch out and enjoy some quality relaxation time.

Safety, trust & environment

Our cozy two-story home provides plenty of room for your dog to explore and find their favorite spots for relaxation and play. Plus, we believe in the power of socialization. Haku looks forward to his weekly dog park visits, where he can socialize, run around and make new furry buddies. Picture a spacious fenced yard, just waiting for your pup to explore. It's a haven of playtime, sniffing expeditions, and joyful romps. Haku, our sociable pup, can't wait to make friends of all sizes and energy levels!

Pets

A typical day

A typical fun day for dogs starts with a morning hike, followed by a refreshing swim if there's water nearby. On rainy days, indoor playtime with toys and training keeps the pups entertained. The day ends with cozy couch relaxation, sharing affectionate moments together. Your dogs always have a fun-filled day, whether exploring nature or enjoying indoor activities. We love taking photos, so expect tons of pictures of your pup that I'll be sharing with you!

When it comes to taking care of your beloved pup, it's crucial to have a personal understanding of their needs and preferences. We would like to know where they like to sleep to their favorite treats, potty break intervals, and the commands they respond to, every detail counts. Understanding what they dislike, their favorite activities, and any special requirements or medications they may have ensures that we can provide the utmost care and create a comfortable and loving environment for your pup!
