Pet care experience

One Dog at a Time, All the Love :)

Hello, our family is so excited to welcome your fur baby into our home! Our two girls love animals (6 and 8) and will shower your pup with plenty of affection, just as my husband and I will. Our yard is fenced in with puppy bars for a secure area to run around and play. I work from home and have the flexibility to care for your dog as if they were my own. We do have a female German Shepherd that we rescued at four months old. She is four years old and on the submissive side, very friendly, and gets along great with other dogs. I have experience with a wide variety of dogs, big and small. I’ve catered to elderly dogs and am comfortable with preparing a variety of food options. We only accept one dog at a time, unless there are two in the family, so your pup gets plenty of one-on-one attention. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or just relaxing in a cozy spot, we’ll treat your dog as part of our family. We can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.

Boarding our pup River with Shalyn and Joe is like going to her second home. Always the most fun, lots of playtime, cuddles and attention. River love love loves the family and that especially includes her bestie Sadie. She always has the best time during her stay. Shalyn and Joe sends daily updates too. They treat River like their own, they are amazing. 😍

We have had wonderful visits with our dog care with Shalyn’s services. She keeps us informed daily with how our dog, Abby, is doing. The care she gives Abby really shows because Abby is stress free and extremely happy when we pick her up. We would highly recommend Shayln’s services to anyone who wants VERY GOOD care of their pet. Regards, Chuck

I love when Goose can stay with Shalyn and her family! I get lots of amazing pictures of Goose being loved-on and having a blast.

Our dog River had another great time with her stay with Shalyn and Joe. ! This is River’s 3rd playcation and she always has a blast. She already misses them and their dog Sadie. But she will be back with them very soon. 😁

This is our second time trusting Shalyn & Joe with our girl and once again they exceeded every expectation. She came home happy and clearly well loved. They send great updates throughout the stay, so we never worried. The level of care they provide is outstanding! We’re so thankful to have found them and will keep booking with them every time.

They will have free access to our home when they stay with us. Feeding schedules will be followed, and ample play time will be daily. We understand that activity levels vary per pup and will tailor to their needs. Please note that we do not accept Pit Bull mixes at this time, as both my husband and I have had bad experiences with the breed.

Pets

A typical day

While with us, your dog will have plenty of exercise. We have a large fenced-in yard for a safe environment to run and play. The neighborhood also offers numerous sidewalks with a park nearby, allowing your fur baby to explore different scents and scenery. Our 4 year old German Shepard likes to share her toys and play. She gets along great with other dogs and will usually give them kisses. If your dog is a runner, she'll run and chase them all over the yard to help burn off all their extra energy.
