About Argelia A.

Safety, trust & environment
I only board cats, if the pet isn't friendly towards other cats. I separated my condo into 2 floors so theirs no conflict. I make sure they have their own food, water & Litter. I also make sure they have entertainment & a comfortable place to sleep.
Information Argelia A. would like to know about your pet
If need any special attention due to medical or treatments please specify. If pets aren't used to strangers or are territorial please let me know. I want to make sure you're pets are safe & well taken care of.
A typical day
A typical day with your pet would be a walk or two throughout the day to allow your dog a chance to explore the neighborhood and socialize if they like that. I always allow them to explore with their nose so they have a chance to know their surroundings better. Walking helps boost improved cardiovascular fitness, lower blood pressure, stronger muscles and bones (built up by walking regularly), and decreased stress. However, dogs shouldn't walk more than 20 min outside in 89.6°F (32°C) due to dangerous temperature for your dog to take a walk. I may adjust walk times to ensure your pet's safety. Before going outside, it is best to apply The 5 Second Rule. Put the back of your hand on the sidewalk, and if you can't hold it there for five seconds, then it would be a sign that it is too hot to walk your dog for more than 20 min. This is the method that I use :) I can play with your pets indoor for the remainder of the time according to the weather.

Pet care experience
I've owned cats and dogs since I was a child so there are many years of experience. I believe pets are more than animals, they are family. Your pets are in good hands :) My schedule is flexible and open to long-term and short-terms care. Unfortunately, I will NOT be using my home for dog services since I have cats in my home. I also have a small home, which would not be ideal for dogs. However, I CAN do drop ins and dog walking. Due to Covid-19 I test my self regularly & the members of my home. I am also fully vaccinated for Covid-19. (Hablo Español)

Reviews
Another excellent experience with caring for our pups! They can’t wait for the next visit. Greatly appreciated the towel service afterward from the rainy day walk. The personal touches show dedication and kindness that our spoiled pups can’t get enough of.
Argie always takes such great care with my kitty, who can be a bit impatient and moody at times, but Argie knows how to deal with my kitty's moods. She obviously loves animals and treats them like her own. I know that Argie misses my kitty during times when we are not away, so perhaps I need to schedule some 'play time' when we are home! Argie, thanks again for everything!
Argie always takes such great care of our kitty, even though our kitty is so fussy and is quite a prissy thing. Argie thinks our kitty is "funny" and enjoys visiting her. Argie also takes care of our mail and our plants, and sends plenty of photos, including wildlife in our yard outside. We have been extremely pleased with Argie's assistance for many years.
Argelia is great. Always on time, professional and our pups love her!
