Information Arantxa M. would like to know about your pet

I’m really flexible, please don’t hesitate to share more information about your furry friend. I will adjust to your dogs needs. Either if they have a special behavior or need for taking up medication, if your Dog has a special diet as well. Friendly with other dogs or territorial?, Barking at the door? . Also share with me feeding and potty breaks schedule. Any other information about your pet that I need to be aware of. That will be really helpful.

A typical day

I have 1 dog, with moderate energy level and I’ve learnt how to stimulate my dog by playing games or teaching new tricks, so I will make sure that your dogs don’t get bored. Typically I go for walks around the neighbourhood, or Dog Parks, areas with lakes, hiking, go for a drive, exercises and interactive games to keep your dog busy.

Pet care experience

Since I was a child, I learnt how to be responsible by taking care of several animals, including: dogs, cats, rabbits, parrots and the list go on, well I had like a zoo at home and also I walked, fed other neighbours dogs. I really enjoy spending time with them, playing around. Animals transmit peace and they make you forget about stress. I have gained experience through these years. I have taken care of several breeds and sizes, senior dogs, cats, dogs with ear and oral medications, etc. If your furry friend is high energy, I can provide good daily exercise and play their favorite games, going to Trails and more! My dog loves playing with other dogs and sharing his toys, he loves to say hi to everyone. I usually go for long walks, parks with lakes, hiking. Your dog will never be alone or bored. I will always give the attention that they deserve and the best experience that makes them feel at home. *Rates: Dog Boarding rate: Pick-up times for dog boarding services will be until 08:30 PM. After this time, kindly request that you schedule an additional day if you need to pick up your dogs. Dog DayCare Rate: For this service if you need your dog to stay a little bit longer and exceeds 8 hours,There will be a $15 extra charge. Pick up times until 08:30 p.m.,more than that time, The best option is for you to book Dog Boarding for your furry friend :) In that case you will have to drop off your dog the day/night before. Dog daycare rate for puppies : Standard rate $50 if it's less than 8 hours. More than 10 hours will be $100. This adjustment allows me to maintain a consistent and comfortable routine for all pets in my care. I appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

Arantxa is great! She’s our go-to dog sitter. Our dog loves staying at her place.

Short stay but lots of contact and photos provided. Will take Finn back to Arantxa again if we need a local sitter.

Kilo seems to have really enjoyed his time with Arantxa. Great communication leading up to the stay and while I was away. Really appreciate the pictures of him throughout his stay - helps to reassure that he is having a good time. So glad the two dogs got along so well!!
