Introduction
Hi, I'm Helen Castillo. I'm in my 30's and I have been professionally pet sitting since the year 2002. I have experience with all types of dogs and have dedicated my life to volunteering in animals rescues to help dogs in need. I only believe in training dogs using positive reinforcement. In my home we love to have doggy guests!! We provide reasonable rates, and in most cases less than the cost of boarding at a nice facility. When staying with us I can assure you they will have so much fun here, and lots more one-on-one cuddle and playtime. We are also insured and bonded with the state of Georgia. OUR FAMILY: We are a family of 7. I have a fun-loving daughter who loves dogs just as much as I do! She is very sweet and gentle with our house guest. We have three adorable dogs under 18lbs (Daisy, Lucy and Stella), and two adorable cats (Luna and Nena) who are very sweet and loving. We have a completely enclosed backyard where they can run and play under my supervision. We have a beautiful deck where they can bask in the sun. I can't wait to meet you and your pup!! Interested in booking with me? Please Read This Very Important Information Below: *** We are not able to keep dogs with signs of aggression in our home. Your pup must be spayed/neutered and up-to-date on all vet-recommended vaccines, and be free of fleas and ticks, and cannot have any contagious illnesses including kennel cough and intestinal parasites. This is very important, and thank you for understanding. ***Please be aware that I cannot hold dates if your baby has not stayed with me previously. Meet & greets are required prior to booking. CONTACT ME TO SET UP A MEET 'N GREET: I look forward to meeting you! ONCE YOU BOOK: When you drop off your pup, please bring a note with any detailed feeding/medicine instructions, and other details you want me to know. Also I'd like to have a local emergency contact (relative/friend who loves your pet), and vet information. Please bring food and any special treats. There are plenty of toys, and food/water bowls here, so no need to bring these items. If they have a special bed that they love, feel free to pack it. If your pup has separation anxiety, it may be helpful to pack a piece of clothing or sheet that has your scent and the scent of your home. Thank you for taking the time to read all about Your Dog's Favorite Vacation Spot!

My precious Yorkies enjoyed an amazing stay at Your Dog’s Favorite Vacation Spot! They were fed their special diet and we were provided with daily updates and pictures. Don’t mind their forlorn look in the photo! We could tell they were well-loved while we were away for a few days and are grateful that we found such an amazing solution when we need to travel!! Thank you Helen!!!

Helen is the absolute best! She went above and beyond our expectations when we boarded our baby Levi with her. We scheduled a meet and greet first and our dogs got along. Levi is younger and bigger than her 3 sweet babies, but they quickly let her know the Do’s and Don’ts of the house. Helen is very knowledgeable with dogs and kept us informed daily with pics and videos along with a small blurbs of what our dog was up to. She has an enclosed backyard which was great so our dog can go out for runs and play time with the other dogs. I would highly recommend and plan to board with Helen in the future as she cared for my baby like her own.

Easily the best boarding scenario for our dog. He got to be a part of the family and hang out on the couch. Everyone loved getting the daily photos and updates. Will definitely use again.
