We are so happy to have found Shalena. We used her services before but this time was a last minute request & she was able to accommodate our boy Deuce. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. Thank you!

What can I say? Shalena was amazing from the meet-and-greet all the way through Zulu’s stay. She made me feel completely comfortable and sent plenty of pictures and updates. My Schnoodle has separation anxiety, but he settled in like he was at home. He loved her backyard, and I think her active pups kept him so entertained that he came home and slept for three hours straight. It’s reassuring to have someone in the community who cares for my pup the way I do. I’ll definitely be using her again—repeat customer for sure!

I can't thank Shalena enough for taking such good care of my dog for three days! From the start, she was incredibly reliable, communicative, and attentive to his needs. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Peanut was happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed his time with her and the other dogs. I highly recommend Shalena to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!
