Information Angélica S. would like to know about your pet
📌 Before Booking, Please Take a Moment to Read: 1. Is your dog really friendly with kids? I have a young child at home. Safety and comfort for everyone is my priority. 2. Is your dog truly good with other dogs? I care for multiple pets at times, and I cannot risk the well-being of your dog or others. Please be honest — it matters. 3. Is your dog clean and well cared for? Good hygiene helps your dog feel more comfortable and keeps a healthy space for all guests. 4. Is your dog up-to-date on vaccines and flea/tick prevention? This is essential for everyone’s safety and health. After our meet and greet and set up the booking, I’ll send a quick form to gather important details in advance, such as routine, energy level, health needs, feeding, social behavior, and any fears or triggers. Having this information helps me provide personalized care and create the best possible experience for your dog!
A typical day
I create a fun and engaging experience for every pet in my care, ensuring they receive exercise, stimulation, and plenty of affection. Some of the activities include: • Outdoor Adventures: Walks tailored to the dog’s energy level, from leisurely strolls to energetic jogs or hikes. I live just 10 minutes away from a beautiful lake with activities and trails, and 10 minutes from the marina, where there are scenic walks along the water and plenty of green spaces. • Interactive Games: Fun games like fetch, tug-of-war, running, frisbee. All to keep them entertained and mentally stimulated encouraging movement and curiosity. • Sensory Play: Activities that stimulate the senses, such a treat hunts, with different textures, and olfactory challenges. I provide sensory activities like ice play, frozen food served on textured plates. • Socialization: Safe interactions with other friendly dogs to promote fun and positive engagement. • Spa Time: I offer cuddle sessions, quiet moments, and spa experiences with massages, calming activities, aromatherapy, soothing music, and paw and nose balms to ensure your pet feels secure, comfortable, and relaxed. Every pet is unique, so I adjust the activities to provide a personalized and enriching experience!

Loving Care & Playtime for Pets
Pet care experience
With a heart full of love for animals, I combine specialized training and hands-on experience from my time in an animal shelter with courses focused on animal behavior, safety, and positive handling techniques. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do, it’s truly something I love and feel deeply connected to. My focus is always on playtime, exercise, and sensory activities that keep pets happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated. I’m a photographer, so a big part of my work is done from home, which allows me to dedicate lots of time and attention to the pets I welcome. I’m lucky to have my husband as my best helper and partner in this, together we make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. 🏡 Your dog will stay in a spacious home with a large grassy yard in a secure, gated community, creating the perfect environment for comfort and safety. Whether it’s fun outdoor activities, sensory games, or personalized one-on-one care, your pup will always get the best attention possible! I also have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with special needs, including those who are deaf, blind, or amputees, always adapting activities and interactions to their unique needs. 🚿 Does your dog need a bath? I offer a calm and relaxing bath experience during your dog’s stay. It includes a warm bath in the tub, gentle drying, light brushing, relaxing music, and treats to make the experience positive and stress-free. It’s a simple freshen-up (not full professional grooming). If you’d like to add it, just include the bath add-on when making your reservation. We live right behind a park and just 10 minutes from a beautiful lake with trails, as well as 10 minutes from the marina. It’s an ideal setting for peaceful walks and outdoor adventures with the pups. ⚖️ Please note: I can only accept dogs up to 50 lbs. ⚠️ To give each pet the best possible experience, I only accept a very limited number of dogs at a time. Booking early is the best way to secure your spot! :)

Reviews
This was our first time leaving our dogs with anyone other than a family member, and I was nervous. Angelica quickly put our minds at ease and sent over updates and pictured daily. You could tell the dogs felt like they were also on a vacation for the weekend. She and her family went above and beyond for our furbabies.. You could tell from the pictures that our senior dog looked comfortable and safe, and our younger dog was living her best life with some new walking (and roller blading!) adventures. I'm relieved to have found her and to now have a backup option for my family.
Wow!!! You 100% want Angélica to watch your dogs. Our dogs had the absolute best stay- going on treat hunts, splashing in a little pool, and getting soo much love. I’m sure they wish they lived there😜 We now have incredible photos of our dogs that could be in a magazine.
Angelica is truly the best and Chip loves to spend time with her! Thank you again, Angelica!!!
Angelica is absolutely the best! She took such great care of our shy lab and kept us at ease with constant communication and updates throughout her check ins. Her patience and kindness meant so much to us, and it was clear our shy boy felt comfortable with her. He was excited to see her every time! We’re so grateful to Angelica for taking such wonderful care of Chip. Highly recommend!
