Pet care experience
Animal Lover & Pro Pet Photographer
Hi! We’re Erika & Diego — lifelong animal lovers, dedicated caregivers, and partners in life 🐾 Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve had dogs since I was a child, and that deep love grew into a lifelong passion. I’ve been a professional pet photographer for 10 years and ran a dog hotel for over 5 years before moving. That experience helped me understand dogs on a deeper level and taught me how to care for puppies, senior dogs, and those with special needs with love and patience. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and handling large dogs. We share our home with Simón — our calm, wise rescue who naturally helps guide other dogs — and our two beautiful senior dogs: a gentle Labrador Retriever and a majestic Belgian Shepherd Groenendael. They’re part of our family and part of the welcoming committee! 😄 My partner Diego is a dog trainer who focuses on respectful, patient, and genuine connections with every dog. Our shared love for dogs is what drives us to dedicate our lives to their care and happiness. We understand how important it is to leave your pup with someone you trust — someone who will love and care for them as much as you do. When you choose us, you’re not just booking a service, you’re joining a family that puts your dog’s comfort and joy first. We’d love to meet you and welcome your furry friend into our home! 🐾💛

Ratings and reviews
Erika and Diego were fantastic! We have an older dog but he played and made lots of dog friends. We got videos and/or pictures everyday so you could see your dog interacting with other dogs. We will definitely be using them in the future.
Erika was easy to work with and very responsive. - their place is safe and secure for the dogs and she took great care of our two while they were there for the weekend.
We left our dog with Erika for a few days and were very happy and satisfied with their care. Their place, communication and care is excellent, I did not feel worrid about my dog at all. Highly recommend Erika! We will come back:).
Erika and Diego are amazing sitters. We have trusted them with our Rosie multiple times for 8 day stays and she loves going to their ranch. She’s well taken care of and comes home tired from all the playing! I recommend them to anyone looking for a safe and trusting boarder for their loved dog.

Erika and Diego were very welcoming at our meet and greet! I left my 5 month old puppy with them for 1 night and I received videos and updates. I am looking forward to leaving Stella with them for doggy day care. Great experience!

Schedule
Currently, I’m a full-time pet photographer and my studio is located in my home! That means I get to organize my schedule around our dogs and the pups we care for. When I’m not in a session, I’m fully available to walk, play, feed, bathe, and spoil them as they deserve. On top of that, my husband Diego is always at home — his full-time job is training and caring for dogs, so your pet will have loving, experienced company at all times. Pet care isn’t just part of our routine — it’s our lifestyle.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I’m lucky to live on a farm, and our large garden is fully fenced — with a double safety fence for extra security. We’ve designed the outdoor space with three separate fenced areas, each with secure gates, so dogs can play safely according to their size, energy, and personality. Every dog is always supervised, whether they’re playing outside or relaxing indoors. We make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and right at home.

A typical day
I love keeping dogs physically and mentally stimulated. When I have furry guests, I always try to make them feel at home. Their day starts with outdoor time — exploring, running, and playing with their new friends, always under supervision. If they want a walk, we go for it! My husband Diego, who is a professional dog trainer, also works with them to practice calm exercises and reinforce basic commands in a gentle, positive way. We adapt to each dog’s personality and needs, offering enrichment games, training, cuddles, and plenty of fun. Our goal is for every pup to have a joyful, balanced, and fulfilling experience while they're with us
