In an exclusive conversation with PEOPLE, the actress, 38, opens up about the many canines she calls her own and how she and fiancéTom Pelphreytreat each of them like royalty every day.

“Our dogs are so spoiled, it’s a total problem,” Cuoco — who has partnered withSubaruto celebrate National Make a Dog’s Day on Oct. 22 — jokes. “Whenever anyone comes over, they say they want to come back in their next life as one of my dogs. It’s basically their house, we just live here.”

“A couple of days a week, what I’ve been doing recently to make them feel special is I bring them out to myranch, it’s 40 acres enclosed, … and I let [them] completely run wild,” she continues.

“Also, it’s endless laughter, endless joy, and now being a parent of my daughter and seeing the dogs interact with her, that [brings it to] a whole new level,” continues Cuoco.

She adds, “I’ve been a dog parent and an animal parent my entire life, but now, being able to integrate that with my kid and show her how to treat animals and live with them and treat them right, it is such a cool thing.”

Next week, Cuoco is planning to celebrate National Make a Dog’s Day — as she does every day — through her partnership with Subaru.

Calling their team up a “no-brainer,“The Big Bang Theoryalum says, “It was just a perfect collaboration. It totally made sense, and anyone who knows me knows I am a big animal lover.”

“It’s obviously very authentic to me and makes total sense for me to partner with a company that shows support for rescue dogs and animals,” adds Cuoco.

“There are so few very large companies out there that acknowledge animal rescue, and it’s really cool that Subaru is doing this,” continues the mother of one, citing how the company also actively invests in theirSubaru Loves Petsprogram.

“I think animals, they get overlooked, and it takes a big company like this to step up,” Cuoco also says. “It sets them apart for me from other brands.”
