Loving Care & Playtime for Pets
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! :)

Ratings and reviews
Our dog Murphy had another great stay with Angelica and her family! She had a fun hike, did enrichment activities, and generally made herself at home. Murphy is always so happy to be there. Thank you Angelica! You make it so easy for us to travel and know that Murphy is taken care of and treated like family.
Angelica and her family was amazing. We knew our babies were getting taken care really well and we felt very at ease with them. Would definitely book again!
Angelica is an outstanding Rover caregiver. She is conscientious, gentle, detailed in her care. Her home is organized, clean and comforting to the dogs she cares for. She gives attention to the responsiveness of my dog, my dog's social adjustment to other dogs. She gave my dog daily walks and exercise and plenty of affection and attention. I appreciated her daily photos and written messages to keep me updated as to my dog's experience with her family. Her son was a welcomed friend and source of affection for my dog. I was so thankful for Angelica's care for my dog in my absence.
Lula always enjoys her stays with Angelica!!
Chip loves Angelica! Super attentive as always! Thank you so much for watching Chip!
Angelica was amazing with our boy Royce! She sent detailed updates and multiple pictures every week. Royce got to make a new doggy friend and played with him so much. He looked so happy and comfortable with Angelica. She took him on multiple walks throughout his stay and provided toys! Thank you for treating our baby like your own!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. I take the time to understand their personality and needs, creating playful and enriching moments like games and sensory activities. Cleanliness, fresh water, and following care instructions are part of my daily routine. I believe trust is key, so I maintain open communication and keep pet parents updated at all times.
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!
