Will treat your sweetie like my own
Pet care experience
I used to board dogs at my mom's SB house, but we've rented the house and now i only do house calls. I own an RV camper van that I can park at your house, and therefore I don't have to use your home for my own needs unless, say, you want me to sleep inside with your pet, etc. Experience and comfort with dogs large and small. I can gauge a dogs limits and desires and care for them accordingly.
Reviews
Andreas and his mom always take such good care of Teddy! And Teddy is good friends with their adorable dog, Cosmo. He loves going for sleepovers with them! Would recommend to anyone, especially with a smaller dog.
Andreas was so kind, and took such good care of my senior dog. He was very communicative, and sent me updates and pictures. I am very grateful! Highly recommend!!!
Andreas and his mom Wendy loved Teddy like he was their own!! They sent fabulous pictures every day of him and took amazing care during my two week trip abroad.
Andreas was very kind and took time for a meet and greet with Sadie. It’s clear he loves to care for dogs. Unfortunately Sadie was too nervous to stay overnight but she did enjoy roaming the large front yard during the meet and greet. I can see other dogs that are less nervous having a blast there!

Safety, trust & environment
We have a very large gated yard that is far off of the street. Dogs could mingle or be separated comfortably. We do what we can to prevent separating dogs to keep everyone happy. We ensure that dogs are not exposed to hazards or toxic foods such as grapes,chocolate,onions,raisins, etc Dogs are always supervised carefully when outside, unless given instructions to leave them alone outside by the owner. There is no way to escape our yard when gates are closed. Even so, I will affix an airtag to the collar of any dog that likes to sniff around, wander, etc. just for peace of mind. Due to our own small dog Cosmo, We prefer small breeds. Large breeds are accepted but they must be extremely well trained or calm around rambunctious or territorial small dogs. Small dogs are never left alone with big dogs regardless of temperament. If boarding your small dog, we will ask for your permission to board any significantly larger dogs at the same time. We do not accept unneutered dogs if we already are boarding female dogs unless the female dog is both much larger and spayed (And Vice-Versa). There are multiple vets nearby. If an emergency happens we will go straight to the 24 hour emergency vet unless specified otherwise.
Information Andreas C. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know when/if I can let the dog off leash when on walks at an open grass field. Is the dog OK being bathed if it gets dirty? Can the dog eat the occasional human food treat/meat scrap? How often do you want updates and pics?
A typical day
Neighborhood walks, supervised gated outdoor play, trips to the grass fields at La Colina JH and Hope School, trips to the beach. Comfy nap time.

I live at home with my mother in the La Cumbre area. We both love dogs and are always conscious of their activities and needs. I do occasional side gigs from my house and there is almost always someone home. If the house is left completely empty it is only for 10-15 minutes.
