About Alex & Kate

We have Charlie, one of the most trained dog in the neighborhood and willing to help anyone at anytime. We've taken care of small dogs like a Chihuahua to an 85lbs dog. High energy dogs are welcome as we setup play time with other dogs, play fetch and walks when ever needed. We are also used to handling puppies and their lovely behaviours. We've been doing this for years but just got onto this platform, we have a "Star Sitter" badge on other platform.

My wife and I are always at home, day and night, well except when we're out for walks. At least once in the morning and another in the evening. So we are available for boarding any time, weekend and weekdays.

We live in a semi-detached home with a fully fenced back and side yard big enough for our furry friends to play. And we have a very adaptable American Eskimo that can accompany your dog or give them space when needed, we have plenty of space in the main floor or the basement to play. But in down time, they all prefer the bay window where they can watch the entire street.  

We respect boundaries and limitations, if you trained your dog in a certain way, let us know so we can keep it consistent. Such as no sitting on furniture, off limits to certain spaces, such as the kitchen and more. This way we don't undo your hard work and confuses the dog.
We are experienced with many kind of behaviors in dogs, just let us know in advance, so we know what to expect. And if there's any you would like assistance on, we'll do our best. Waiting in the entry area for our command to continue including waiting for their turn in feeding time, finishing their portion of food in one sitting, desensitizing from touching their paws (helpful for trimming and putting on winter boots) 

We walk the dogs at least 2 times a day, higher energy dog may get additional walks and other excercises such as fetching. We administer oral and topical medication, prepare foods according to your instructions. All at no additional fee.

What our typical day looks like?
We let them out in the backyard in the the morning before we get ready for the morning walks.

Feeding time is always after the walk then a little break/play indoor before letting them out in the yard again for another play time.
Nappy time is almost guaranteed after, some prefer the cooler basement but most wants to be in the bay window where they can watch the neighborhood. But they all just naps there.
Late afternoon they get to play outside again before we prep them for another walk then feeding time.
They get to play a bit after on the main floor before heading down to the basement where the good dogs (all of them) get a little treat.
One last time outside before we head to sleep, either they are more comfortable in their own kennel or joins us in the bedroom, but not on the bed.
