Dog Boarding in Shirley, IN

“My two senior dogs got excellent care with Monika. I am not sure they wanted to come home! I am using her again next week. Her yard is fenced and she sends pictures and reports which I greatly appreciate. She is the best!!”

“I have never had to leave my puppies with a complete stranger but I could not have been more comfortable with leaving my two dogs with Britny. She is very accommodating and made me and my dogs feel very comfortable and welcome. She sent regular picture updates and always responds very quickly to any messages I had sent. My family travels often and will be using Britny as a puppy Home-away-from-Home.”

“Lisa is wonderful! So caring and loves to have fun with her dog Stella and our dog Betty. She has helped us out in a pinch and is very flexible with her schedule. We appreciate her so much!”

“Gerald was great with Thor. He had a spectacular time playing with the other dogs during his stay, and he crashed for 36 hours after we brought him home. We also appreciated Gerald’s flexibility with somewhat short notice. We will definitely use him again when we’re out of town. Thank you!!”

“We could not have been happier with the care & love given to our Doodles by Joanne. She sent us daily pictures & updates, promptly answered any questions or concerns we had. I only mention concerns because this was the first time boarding with Joanne & we were both getting to know each other. The Doodles not only ran to us when we arrived back after a week, but they also kept turning back to Joanne. Listen to your pets & they will tell all :) There is no question that we will use Joanne again when we need boarding or daycare. Oh & her secure play area is huge & park like...no doubt your fur baby will love & get a bit spoiled by it.”

“I cant recommend a more professional dog sitter than Samantha. She was willing to watch my dog short notice and took amazing care of her. Even with freezing temps she kept my dog engaged with indoor activities. Her home is extremely clean and has a great backyard for dogs to get exercise. Consistently kept me informed of how my dog was doing. She truly is top notch!”

“Lynana is the best! Our pups run right into her house and immediately our to the big backyard. She takes especially good care of them even if they have dietary needs. Every time we pick them up from an overnight, they are exhausted from having so much fun!”

“Kayla loves animals! Her attention to detail is second to none. She boards my two whippets - Gemma and Snoopy. They love the farm life and taking in all the new scents and views. They quickly make themselves at home. Snoopy requires special medication at times and that is not a problem for Kayla. I have no worries when she is watching my babies.”

“Julie was amazing. Super kind. Gave frequent updates throughout the stay. Ari loved every minute of her stay. Would definitely recommend booking for a personalized experience tailored to your pet.”

“Shary is wonderful! She really knows how to work with and communicate with dogs. She trully loves them. Jeb was a happy dog when I picked him up and in no hurry to leave. We will be using her service again. I'm so happy to have found her because now I feel comfortable with leaving Jeb. Thank you, Shary!”

About: Pets have been part of my life since I was a child. I began working in a dog boarding facility during my high school years and followed the animal track into my college education and became a licensed veterinary technician. I have pet sitting and veterinary working experience with dogs, cats, cattle, chickens, and horses. I worked in a mixed animal veterinary practice as a licensed veterinary technician for 4 years, then moved to an equine only veterinary practice for close to 5 years and currently at an equine veterinary practice employed as a registered veterinary technician. I have a 2 year old spayed golden retriever who travels everywhere with me as well as a 10 year old shorthair female spayed cat who enjoys her days sunbathing in the sunshine. I work full time as a registered veterinary technician; I typically work 4 days a week with one day off and approximately every 4th weekend at the clinic. I have availability in the evenings, days off, and most weekends. My golden girl loves to play and have company and the cat will offer her cuddles as well during in home stays. I constantly observe the pets I care for and make sure they are happy and healthy. I tailor my care for each individual; whether they enjoy multiple walks, adventures, or just want extra cuddles their happiness is my top priority.

“Xander was incredible and my Ollie was treated so well! The communication was great and he treated Ollie like his own. I will be using him again in the future 100%”

“Anuja was great with Biscuit and he appears to be very happy with her company. She continued to keep us updated on his progress and even fed him home cooked food(5 ? for just that gesture). Looking forward to having Biscuit over there in the near future.”

“Tammy was a great caretaker for our Babu! She is very attentive and compassionate. She even washed her blankets for Babu when she needed it. I recommend her to anyone with small dogs. She will love them while you are away, as if they are her own.”

“Leah was a great care taker for our dog. She kept us informed every day and sent pictures of our dog adventures. I would totally leave our dog with Leah again!”

“Steven took great care of Ronni! I got updates regularly, and Ronni seemed very happy to be there!”

“Taylor and Kevin are amazing! We always know we can send our Kona to them and he’ll be more than well taken care of! He always has such a great time. They’re also great about sending us photos and keeping us up to date on his day. Highly recommend!”

“We’re so grateful for Julie! It can be really difficult to find willing and compassionate care for longer trips. Julie was very responsive and flexible with changes we had to make. She went above and beyond for George and took such good care of him. We had no concerns or worries while we were away and it was such a gift to our family. I highly recommend Julie to anyone and we’re excited to have her care for George in the future!”

“Gage is a very caring and considerate! She will love you pets as your own and update you with photos and videos. I will continue to take my 2 labs to her for boarding!”

“tresa is a very responsible and reliable person when it comes to watching pets and taking care of them. she is loving and treats my pets as her own. she treats me with kindness and treats my pets with love.”
