Staying with us means you will get the best of both worlds. While I bring a calm and relaxing energy, my husband (Tiago) is fired up and ready to run, play, and howl at the moon! Together we provide a fun environment and a spa like retreat. My 10 year old son brings the bubble machine. We do have a newborn now, baby friendly pups are very welcome to stay with us as we transition to this exciting new life! Sunny days are the best to play and explore outdoors. A game a fetch, laying on the hammock or sunbathing on the comfy swing, when the sun is out so are we! Chilly nights are perfect to dance around the bonfire. Hanging with friends and telling fireside stories are the best. Rainy evenings means movie time in the entertainment room. Beethoven? Homeward Bound? 101 Dalmatians? All the classics are in theaters now! Once outside play and exploring comes to an end, our guests come inside to get cleaned, brushed, massaged, and fine dining. We tailor our furry friends stay according to their liking. If you are not the kibble type, not a problem. Tiago comes from a family of chefs and his culinary expertise is phenomenal! Staying with us means the whole family is on vacation! Working part-time from home gives me plenty of time to play and care for your pets. I am available daily from 8am and weekends upon request. I’ve taken care of animals of every kind since I was 15. Co-workers, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and even train their pets. I have an fenced backyard and a 14 year old calm and friendly shih tzu to keep your pet company. She is housebroken indoors and outdoors. She is sweet, quiet, loving, highly trained to walk with me unleashed and only barks on command. I have also trained a few other dogs to do the same and recently began training a pitbull in Portugal during vacation as well as giving the owner some tips before returning. I have also trained a cockatiel to come, follow me, perch, sing, and play peek-a-boo. I love animals and have a great amount of patience and care for them.
