Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
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!

Great communication. Pharaoh always comes back happy and tired!

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!

Communication was great, including pictures. Pharaoh came back tired and good spirits. lol He had a great time with his paw friends. Will book again!

Another great stay for my little guy!

I have a very flexible schedule allowing me to work from home most days and to be available on short notice. Someone is always home so guests would never have to be alone extended periods of time.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet will be cared for like one of my own in a safe, clean, and friendly home environment. With a large, private fenced-in backyard, there’s plenty of room for supervised outdoor play and exercise. Crates are available in both large and small sizes for pets who prefer their own space. I welcome all personalities and energy levels, from laid-back loungers to playful, high-energy pups, and provide personalized care based on each pet’s needs.

A typical day
🐾 A Typical Day at The Doggy Den Mornings start with potty time, breakfast, and some fun in the fenced yard. Throughout the day, pups enjoy playtime, socializing with other friendly dogs, cuddles, attention, and plenty of time to relax in our home. 📸 I’ll also send pictures so you can see your pup enjoying their stay and have peace of mind knowing they’re safe and well cared for. As the day winds down, it’s dinner, one more chance to get outside, and a cozy evening at home. ❤️ A safe, loving home away from home — where every pup is treated like family.
