Safety, trust & environment

My home is quiet, immaculately clean, and ideal for dogs who do best with low stimulation, individualized care, and a calm routine. I provide a serene, boutique-style boarding experience, not a chaotic or crowded environment. I accept a very limited number of pets at a time to ensure that each guest receives exclusive attention and care. For health and safety, I require all pets to be fully up-to-date on core vaccinations (including Bordetella) and actively maintained on flea, tick, and parasite prevention. I ask that your dog is accustomed to relaxing independently in a crate or quiet sleeping area, so they can rest peacefully and safely during their stay. You’ll receive timely, thoughtful updates and photos throughout your pet’s visit, and I always mirror your pet’s home routine as closely as possible, from feeding to supplements to emotional comfort.

Information Shahla C. would like to know about your pet

To ensure your pet’s visit is seamless, I ask for the following ahead of time: • Vaccination status (including Bordetella and parasite prevention — required) • Feeding routine, including supplements or medications • Current sleep setup (crate required) • Social preferences — whether your dog prefers solo time or is dog-friendly • Any training cues or behaviors you’d like me to reinforce **please note: a crate is required, as I have a toddler and when watching more than 1 dog for feeding separation, as well as for when I leave the house for the gym or errands- for their own safety and anxiety I do not leave them unattended: even the most well trained dogs will exhibit anxiety in new environments and poo/pee throughout the home.

A typical day

Your dog’s day will be structured, enriching, and relaxing. Mornings begin with a calm walk or movement-based play, followed by a nourishing breakfast and time to unwind. The rest of the day includes gentle engagement (such as enrichment games, soft music, brushing, or cuddles), quiet rest time, and a final evening walk before bed. My approach is tailored to each dog. Whether your pet thrives with active engagement or prefers a slower, more nurturing pace, I adjust my care accordingly. Clean linens, filtered water, and a peaceful atmosphere come standard.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Shahla, a lifelong animal lover, former track athlete, and now a full-time remote worker with a calm, peaceful home perfect for pets who need gentle, attentive care. I only book a small number of dogs at a time to make sure each one gets 1-on-1 attention, love, and stress-free playtime. Whether it’s tossing a ball in the yard, cozy snuggles on the couch, or slow walks for senior pups, I adjust my care to fit your dog’s exact needs. My home is: • Quiet, clean, and smoke-free • Has plenty of soft spaces to nap and relax • Great for anxious dogs or pets who need calm consistency I work from home full-time, so your pup will never be left alone for long. I send regular photo/video updates and treat every animal like family. I can also give medications if needed. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new. My goal is to give you total peace of mind, with kind, responsive communication and a home your dog will want to come back to. Let me know your pet’s routine, and I’ll do my best to match it exactly 🐶💛

Shahla was very easy to communicate with and took great care of Annie. She also sent me pictures of Annie, who looked like she had a great time. I would definitely recommend Shahla, and plan to use her services again.

We were concerned about how our dogs may have been treated after picking them up. Both of them appeared to be extremely dehydrated and the two year old acted traumatized and had chewed her dog bed, which she has never done before. Next to no response on how the dogs were. Her only response was that they were “fine”. Definitely would not recommend
