friendly pet care & training

Pet care experience

Hello, I am Shaley, and I own a little Sheltie named Cubbie, and grew up with a Huskador (Husky and Black lab mix), a Jack Russel Terrier, a MalteJack, and Marmalade tabby cat. While in college, I also had the oppurtunity to take care of a Black Lab service dog. With that said, I'm good with lots of dog types and I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. I'm especially interested in doggy obedience & training. Every dog is different, and I hope to take care of your dog and give it the care it needs. Currently we have a sweet 3-year-old grey/white tabby cat named Cleo, and live within 3 blocks of 2 large community parks. We also LOVE taking high quality photos of our furry guests- you might even calls us pet photographers! (Complimentary photos included with all bookings!)

My dog loved being with her. She was able to make my shy puppy open up to her
