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!

Pet care experience

***To ensure I can give your pup my full attention upon arrival, please note that I will be welcoming new boarding stays on Fridays beginning at 4:00 PM. Thank you.*** 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. I know that for a dog, a walk isn't just exercise—it’s the highlight of their day and a chance to explore the world. Your pup will enjoy the heart of my home in a dedicated, rug-free kitchen area—perfect for staying cool and keeping things tidy. When it’s time for some excitement, they’ll have full access to my fenced-in yard for supervised 'sniff-ventures' and outdoor play! When your pup stays with me, they aren't 'guest pets'; they are family. My home is a sanctuary where they can feel safe, seen, and truly loved. I offer dedicated kennel spaces as an optional 'den' for dogs who feel more secure sleeping in their own spot. However, I follow your lead on what makes your pup most comfortable, as my main goal is to ensure they feel safe and loved throughout their stay. Please note: ****To ensure the highest quality of dedicated care during my primary service window, stays booked from Friday (starting at 4:00 PM) through Sunday evening reflect a premium weekend rate. This allows me to focus exclusively on your pup’s needs during these high-demand, shorter-duration stays****

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 ❤️🙂

Can’t recommend Angelica enough! She took amazing care of my brand new three-month-old puppy and he definitely loved every minute. She’s super responsive and responsible and was dialed in on every detail, plus sent frequent detailed updates, which I loved. She’ll be my go-to forever!

Angelica and her husband were great host to Gigi. She kept me updated daily and I could tell that Gigi truly enjoyed her time there. My dog is big, super energetic, and can have bad anxiety. Angelica dedicated time to make sure that Gigi was receiving a lot of attention and had lots of time outside to release energy. I was at ease during my trip knowing Gigi was in good hands!!
