Your Dog’s Fav Vacation Spot ❤
Hi, I’m Helen Castillo, owner of Your Dog’s Favorite Vacation Spot, LLC ❤️ We provide a loving, low-stress home environment where your pups are treated like family! I’ve spent years volunteering in animal rescue and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Every dog staying with us gets plenty of love, cuddles, playtime, and personalized care. We’re located in Powder Springs and share our home with my daughter, our 3 friendly senior pups, and 3 cats — we absolutely love having doggy guests here! ✨ Before Booking: • Meet & greets are required to make sure we’re the perfect fit • All pups must be dog, cat, and kid-friendly • Vaccines must be up to date • Dogs must be flea/tick-free and free of contagious illnesses For safety reasons, we cannot accommodate dogs with aggressive behaviors. ✨ What to Bring: • Food and any special treats • Medication (if needed) with instructions • Vet information + local emergency contact • Optional comfort item if your pup has separation anxiety We already provide bowls, toys, and lots of love ❤️ I pride myself on creating a safe, fun, and cozy “vacation spot” where pet parents can feel comfortable knowing their babies are cared for like my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! 😊

Ratings and reviews
Helen always does such a fabulous job taking care of our three.
Helen is amazing! She is personable and patient and individualizes her care. Milo had a great time confirmed by the great pictures and videos!
Helen took amazing care of my little Chip! I got frequent updates and pictures to let me know how he was doing. Chip had a great time and we will definitely be back next time we need a sitter!
Helen did an absolutely amazing job making sure that Holly, my semi-anxious labradoodle, felt safe and happy for the entire stay. This was my first time using Rover and I am so happy to have found Helen. Now that I’ve found someone I can trust to keep Holly happy and well-cared for, I plan to book with her every time we go out of town.
My dog LOVED his first stay with Helen and I loved my first experience with Rover! She took EXCELLENT care of our fur baby and kept me up to date with daily pictures. It was soooo much better of an experience vs a traditional boarding setting knowing that my baby was getting personal attention in a comfortable home setting. This eased my mind so much during our time away. My only regret is that we did not switch to this service sooner! THANK YOU HELEN!!
Helen was awesome with this last minute request. Her willingness to help us out speaks volume. Thank you so much!

Schedule
Our business hours are 9am to 6pm. We love to accommodate our guest fur baby's needs and make them feel comfortable. Always strive to provide an environment where they feel they are with family instead of being boarded.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced yard and have three friendly pups. I have fostered for a nonprofit rescue since before I had my personal babies so they are super friendly and used to puppies going in and out. Everyone eats separately to avoid upset tummies, and I spend time with them to ensure they get the love and attention they need. I want all babies who stay with us to feel excited about returning.

A typical day
I love for my babies and pet-sitting babies to feel like they are doing something in their day. Most babies that stay with me are more about relaxation which is great. I put beds on the deck so they can lay and take in the sun and fresh air. I have a ton of shade so they won't be overheated. Then we can go back inside for some downtime so they don't feel overwhelmed. Cuddles are a huge plus in our home so any baby that loves to cuddle while doing a movie night is perfect! At bedtime, they are welcome to sleep with any family member in my home or sleep in a crate if that is what they prefer. I try to make their stay feel like they are being spoiled, loved, and with no stress.
