A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER
Because trust should never be a guessing game.

Alexandra Duesbury · Founder, The Good Stay
“I’ve always believed that leaving your dog in someone else’s care should come with peace of mind, not a list of worries.
But finding that kind of care isn’t always easy.
Traditional boarding environments can be unfamiliar, overwhelming, unreliable, and disruptive to a dog’s routine. And while sitter marketplaces offer plenty of options, having more choices doesn’t necessarily make it easier to know whom to trust.
When you’re handing someone the keys to your home and entrusting them with a member of your family, that decision deserves more than a quick booking.
That’s why I created The Good Stay.
I wanted to build something more personal. A service where trust comes before convenience, where caregivers are chosen with intention, and where dogs can remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes.
I believe that not everyone is suited to this responsibility—and that being welcomed into someone’s home is a privilege that should never be taken lightly.
The Good Stay is built around a simple idea: a smaller, more considered circle of caregivers, thoughtful introductions, and care that respects each dog’s individual needs.
Because your dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
And you deserve to feel completely at ease while you’re away.”
With love,
