Pet care experience

🏡 Safe Home for Max Zoomie Fun! 🐾

I’ve had family dogs all my life and had my first miniature schnauzer for a wonderful 14 years. I trained him as a pup and we completed the Petsmart training courses. I’m also a Licensed Psychologist so I understand human & dog behavior! 🎓 My Meelo passed away after 14 years together and I’m not ready to get a new dog so instead, I decided I’d love to take care of yours! 🌈 💕 I miss the sound of paws on the wood floor, the crunching of kibble, and the zoomies! Oh the zoomies! 🥰 I’ve got all the toys (including a fetch machine), a fenced front and backyard, a doggie door, lots of love, and the space for all the zoomies!

Araceli was fantastic. Sammy had a great time at her house. He especially loved the yard and the patio lunch outing. I will definitely book with her again!

Third time having Willow stay with her Tia Araceli, and she always loves it! Araceli truly cares deeply and has such a warm home. Gracias!

Araceli was very professional and careful. I could see from the photos that my dog was comfortable with Araceli. Communication was quick and clear, and she was careful to understand the feeding/walk/care routine. My dog will definitely stay here again if Araceli has openings next time I travel…I might need to schedule travel around her availability!

This was Willow’s second time staying with Araceli, and when I picked her up, she didn’t want to come home! Araceli is the best, her manner with pups and her joyfulness with being a sitter is what makes me effortlessly comfortable to leave my Willow with her. Willow loves her “Tia” and she’ll be back!

Schedule

You can drop off Tuesday evening after 5pm and pick up on Sunday (I work from home Wed-Sat). As a psychologist, I design my own schedule, so I can play with and take out your pup throughout the day. Sunday's are all about relaxing and having fun!

Safety, trust & environment

You’re welcome to bring your dog to check out my home and see how your pup feels in the space. Finding the right sitter is like dating…you gotta find the right fit! I know how hard it is to leave your pup with a stranger, so let’s make sure we all feel comfortable. It’s all about your pup feeling safe and happy. :) I can also Airtag your dog and can share location with you so you always know where your pup is and you can travel with ease. 🚀 Let me know what would make you feel safe, and we'll make it happen!

A typical day

I love walking along the beach and going to safe dog parks. I love the Grape Street dog park and the one in Balboa Park. I would take your dog around owner approved walks and environments. I also have a great yard that your pup can play in if you would prefer we stay at home. If that's the case, I've got LOTS of toys including a ball launcher! If your pup loves the couch, we can also hang out and binge watch their favorite show. 😛

I don't have breed preferences, I love all dogs, and I would like to know if your pup is house trained and if they play well with others. I have a 5 yrs old niece that visits every other weekend and she’s fabulous with dogs. We've trained her! :) I don't have any children, so rest assured that I will treat yours as if it were my own. 🥰
