Pet care experience

I love all pets!

Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of hands-on pet care experience. I’ve had the joy of raising four dogs and three cats over the years, each pet had their own personalities and care needs. Those experiences have taught me how to connect with animals of all kinds and provide them with the love, patience, and attention they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe and comfortable, You can rest assured your furry pet will get plenty of attention and love, & companionship during their stay. I’m comfortable following any specific care routines or needs your pet may have, and I’m happy to use a crate if preferred. My home is pet-friendly, secure, and calm—perfect for both dogs and cats of all ages.

Really appreciate how communicative and responsive Aleyda was. I get nervous leaving my dogs and she sent pictures and updates multiple times a day! Would book with her again :)

Aleyda took great care of my boys! Getting multiple pictures a day with updates on how they’re doing made me feel so comfortable leaving them with her!

My dog Laguna seemed to have decided that this was her second home. She was so relaxed and happy. I got so many photos and updates, and Aleyda was so pleasent. Definitely will have my dog board again.

I have NEVER and I mean NEVER seen my dog as relaxed and sleepy as when he came home from his stay with Aleyda! You can tell my high-energy pup was given TONS of running around and interaction, he was in a full splat on the floor when he came home, and we appreciate that so much!!! We will be back for sure! Thank you Aleyda!!!

Aleyda and her family were absolutely wonderful with Junior. He stayed with them for two months, and I could not have asked for a more loving, attentive, and trustworthy home for him while I was away. From the beginning, I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such caring hands. What really stood out was how genuinely they welcomed Junior into their family. It meant so much to me to know that Junior wasn’t simply being looked after, but was getting affection, companionship, and a real home away from home. Aleyda was incredibly kind, communicative, reliable, and accommodating throughout his stay. Being away from your dog for such a long period can be stressful, but I always felt confident that Junior was happy, safe, and very well cared for. I am tremendously grateful to Aleyda and her entire family for treating Junior as one of their own. I would absolutely book with her again without hesitation and cannot recommend her highly enough. Anyone would be incredibly fortunate to have their dog stay with Aleyda and her family. Thank you again for taking such amazing care of Junior!
