When done right, there is absolutely nothing easy about what we do. Handing over your beloved pet to someone who wants to dabble with pet sitting/boarding/grooming may be extremely dangerous. Our experience is unmatched and the intellectual knowledge accumulated over three generations cannot be compared.  


There are a lot of choices out there and you get what you pay for. If you are looking for gimmicks like kennels that look like Swiss chalets, they are out there. If you want fake grass inside a makeshift warehouse, all the while soaking up urine and feces for years under the 'carpeting', they are out there too. But, if you are truly a discerning customer looking out for the best interest of your pet, consider Alice's Ark. We are the  professionals with experience, and a proven track record. Thousands of satisfied customers stretching from Belfast Maine to Houston Texas and beyond have boarded or groomed with us because we have earned their trust thru dedicated, reliable service for just under half a century.
