WHO doesn’t love alpacas? They’re friendly and fluffy, and they make the perfect companions! You’ve likely encountered the cuddly animals at a petting zoo, but how about door-to-door visits? A U.S. woman made it into a business and its genius cannot be understated!

My Pet Alpaca was conceived by Virginia resident Andrea Diaz, as a way to cheer up children cooped up inside during quarantine. She brings her two pals, Pisco and Chewpacca, on home visits, where people can snuggle and take photos with the cuddly animals.

“You don’t need to leave the house; you don’t need to go to the zoo; you don’t need to plan a whole day. It can just be a casual visit,” Diaz said.

Diaz, who’s native to Peru, has always owned pet alpacas. Initially, she wanted to bring them along to community events like parades, so she even upgraded to a larger car to transport them!

But kids aren’t the only ones feeling the joy — it turns out the feeling is mutual. Diaz says the alpacas “cannot wait to jump in” the car for their anticipated visits. It turns out they need a little socializing, too!

Visits with Pisco and Chewpacca cost US$40 for 30 minutes and US$60 for an hour.
