Availability

I am excited to announce that my availability has changed! I am now open for bookings during weekdays. Please note that I work standard business hours, which means your furry friend would be alone for about 8 hours during the day. If your dog is comfortable with this routine and can handle that time apart, I would love to care for them!. **Multi-Dog Households: I can accommodate 2–3 pups—please message me to discuss customized pricing. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Safety, trust & environment

Your Pet's safety is my #1 priority. I offer a secure, fenced-in yard for potty breaks and play. Because my fence stands at 3 feet, I take extra care with athletic dogs. If a guest shows a tendency to jump or climb, I simply transition them to a long leach during yard rotations so they can stay active and safe without any risk wintering off. You can rest easy knowing I am right there with them every step of the way.

Information angelica s. would like to know about your pet

1. Yard Manners: Does your puppy have a secret talent for climbing fences or 'excavating' (digging) under them? . 2. Safety & Leash: Are they a 'door bolter' when the front door opens, or do they require a leash even in fenced areas? 3. Diet & Meds: Does your pup have any food allergies, and do they require any specific medications or a strict feeding schedule? Do they need pills hidden in peanut butter or a specific supplement with dinner? 4. Social Vibes: How do they feel about being picked up, belly rubbing, Kisses, hugging ... and Does your puppy have any food reactivity, or do they need to be separated/left alone when eating ? Do they have any specific 'scary things' like thunder or loud noises? 5. House Rules: Are they fully potty trained, or do they have any quirks I should watch out for indoors? 6. Do they understand commands? If so, please list them and let me know. 7. If there is something else that is not listed, please feel free to let me know :).

A typical day

"Think of my home as a 5 star retreat for the vertically challenged! a typical day involves VIP access to my fully fenced yard for high stakes "sniff ventures" and investigate tail-wagging. We play hard, eat on schedule, and keep vibes strictly small to medium-dog-friendly. Between games and professional belly rubs, your pup is the center of my universe. I'm 100% dedicated to making sure they're fed, tired, and thoroughly entertained. They'll come home happy and ready for their next vacation with me!

Loving Full-Week & Weekend Care

Pet care experience

Animals have been the heartbeat of my life since I was six years old. Having recently said goodbye to my own soul-dog, Sherlock, after 13 beautiful years, I carry a deep reverence for the bond we share with them. When your pup stays with me, they are treated like family. For their safety and comfort, your dog will stay inside my house in a dedicated, rug-free kitchen area—perfect for staying cool and keeping things tidy. For outdoor fun and exercise, they’ll have full access to my secure, fenced-in yard for supervised playtime and "sniff-ventures"!I follow your lead on what makes your pup most comfortable. I offer dedicated kennel spaces as an optional "den" for dogs who feel more secure sleeping in their own spot, ensuring they feel safe, seen, and truly loved throughout their stay.

This is our second time booking with Angelica, and she is truly heaven-sent! She always provides Benzino with exceptional care, love, and hospitality. He enjoys his time with her so much that he didn't even want to leave! 🤣 She sent us multiple daily updates with the best pictures and videos. Angelica, thank you for taking such great care of our baby. We appreciate you more than you know and are so grateful to have found you. Benzino’s new BFF 🫶 She is highly recommended!

Agelica took care of Queso and she was awesome, super responsive, she kept me informed of his behavior in a detailed way. She has access to a very nice backyard which is fenced and safe for dogs. I am very happy with my experience with her.

Angelica is absolutely top-notch. She is so kind and so caring. She watch our Benzino for a few days while we attended our daughter’s graduation. She took such good care of him, relieved some of his anxiety, and paid extra close attention to his needs. She asked clarifying questions to make sure he was comfortable and stayed on his normal route. She showed him lots of love and gave him lots of play time. Angelica, we appreciate you and thank you so much. Hopefully Benzino will see you soon ❤️🙂
