Pet care experience
First rule: no stress allowed! It is not good for humans but, most importantly, it is not good for our pets. I aim to make the you and your pet as comfortable as possible during any separation. Whether it be for fun or business, having you not worried about your furry family member is my goal. Boarding: I will hang out with your pet their entire stay (they won't be lonely. I promise.) Also, they can sleep in my room at night (as long as they're house trained.) There are steps to go to the backyard for potty time. I can help the elderly pups (that are small to medium) going up and down them. My home is divided up into rooms and levels (inside and out). Meaning that if some dogs (or cats) do not get along, I have plenty of room to separate them. Pets are like kids, some get along just great and some want to be left alone to loaf around on the sofa. Cat's have the main level. Usually mild tempered dogs (normally seniors) hang out on the main level with the cats. My cats are very well socialized. Not only do they have the main level, they also have high ground in the main level. So, don't worry if you think your dog might react to the cats. They know how to stay out of the dogs' ways. For very large rough puppers, I have a 10 x 10 kennel set up in my garage with living room furniture. They can lounge around in there, or play like crazy little heathens on rainy days when no one wants to go outside. Come by for a meet and greet to check the place out. All furry guests' needs will be assessed and met to the best of my abilities. Drop in visits: I will do whatever you ask of me for your pet (medications, specific play, specific potty routines, etc.) I can help with training as well if needed. I love all animals but dogs are my favorite. I lost my beloved fur-baby in 2018. I had her for ten years, and was able to train (potty and commands) her even though she was deaf. UPDATE 2019: I have been doing this for a little close to a 5 years now. I love this job! I love my clients even more. We finally got a new addition to the family: Ducky! So now your furry one will also have a playmate (...well, if they want to play)
Reviews
We hate having to leave our cat behind when we travel, but Ligia always takes great care of him and sends us pictures and videos everyday! We feel so much better knowing that he'll be getting visits from her each day!
Ligia is awesome! Highly recommend her to care for your fur babies! :)
You were so sweet - thank you!
Lygia was very responsive and easy to work with. Our cat was happy when we returned. We would use Lygia again.

I have a fenced in yard and a 2.5 yo mixed breed psycho puppy to keep your fur baby company. He likes to play and helps the new shy guests feel secure. He's got a gift! I do not leave anyone outside alone. We either hang out all together inside or outside but either way, we're all together. The humans here have separation anxiety too...

Information Ligia D. would like to know about your pet
I would just like to make sure that your pet is ok with little kids. My 9 year old knows how to treat dogs and be around them. Some days my house is full with up to 4+ people. Some days it's just me and my 9 year old, 2 cats, and Ducky. Either way, your pet will be very loved and taken care of by me, personally. I'll keep you updated because I know what it's like to be on vacation and miss your 4-legged psycho.
A typical day
I will be with them pretty much 24/7 until you come back! I can help train them (potty and obedience commands). They will definitely have TONS of play time and socialization at my house. On the flip side, the elderly cranky pups will have TONS of chill time in comfort away from the psycho puppies.
