Information Pilar M. would like to know about your pet

I find if you let me know important info ahead of time the better cuz the pack has to b a good fit. It requires a lot of time to consider which dogs need what & how to deal with since they r staying at my home. You want all pups ,myself to enjoy & have a fun but also a great boarding stay so Nextime they recall that & have no hesitation to return HAPPILY!!!!!! It’s a Win Win for all of us involved especially our pups who can’t voice it but Show IT…

A typical day

In the grounds I have plenty of toys they can play & destroy which they DO. The toys with noise makers r also available. It also helps get their attention or some training if needed works with these squeakers (in toy). Do luv to hike again if your dog is great off lead then they deserve to go with 2or 3 pups provided weather is good too. They luv running free.

Pets

Especializing in BIG breeds,

Pet care experience

I've grown up with all sorts of animals thru out my life...Quite comfortable with all working breeds the bigger the BETTER. Will consider a lil one who has the big breed attitude in his/her mentality....I've raised Akitas & owned them thru out my children's lives. My last doggie was a Bassett hound who has since passed. (Foto). If given the privilege of taking care of your big or small creature it will be treated as if they are my own. My experience speaks for itself & very capable , happy to take the responsibility of given ur pups/other a second home w/TLC. Thank you kindly in advance for your consideration in choosing moi as your trusted sitter ( now & longterm). Best y’all🐾

I was very nervous leaving Rox with a “stranger” met w Pilar and she put me at ease. She provided plenty of pictures and updates while we were away and that put me at ease. If the chance to go away again occurs and she is available I would definitely reach out to her. She treated Rox like the princess she is, I am very thankful for her kindness and understanding.
