Information Alvaro V. would like to know about your pet

Your dog must be friendly towards other dogs. Aggressive/violet dogs will not be taken. Also, please let me know if your dog has any special needs or accommodations that I should be aware of.

A typical day

Our daily routine starts with a morning walk, followed by 4-5 outings throughout the day. After breakfast, your pets enjoy playtime and leisurely afternoon strolls in nearby green spaces. Evenings include dinner, bonding time, and a final nighttime walk. This schedule ensures a perfect mix of exercise, mental stimulation, and loving attention, making each day joyful for your pets.

This was Chanel’s first time boarding so I was very nervous. Alvaro took her last minute and was so kind. He also gave me a lot of updates which gave me confidence that she was in good hands. Would absolutely book again!

We had a good experience! Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Teddy while we were away. We especially appreciated all the picture updates throughout the stay, it made us so happy seeing Teddy comfortable. He came home well cared for and clearly loved on the entire time. I recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, thoughtful, and compassionate to watch their pets! 🐾
