Pet care experience

A family of pet lovers!!

A family of dog lovers and pets of all sorts. My paw pals are great company for me around the house and excellent walking buddies for my daily exercise walks. We are very energetic, friendly and easy going people who happen to enjoy caring for pets. This is something that comes natural growing up in a household with cats,dogs,birds...etc. Residing in the Washington DC (Manor Park ) area. A very peaceful neighborhood I must say and we love it. We have children in the household and currently our schedule allows us to offer 24/7 care 7 days a week. Drop off and pickup times are usually the same for boarding. So if you drop off at 1pm on Friday you would pickup by 1pm Monday if that is your pickup day. If you need more time perhaps later that evening or night there may be an extra charge added. We normally DONOT cage dogs so they are free to socialize in our home as we would our own Unless you the owner request otherwise. You are welcome to bring pet beds to make your pup comfy as can be if you like. Hopefully we can make new friends with your happy paws also. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. I will respond as soon as possible if you have questions, or concerns. Thanks and Be Blessed!! Currently working from home so my availability is super flexible and I can also accommodate last minute daycare or boarding needs. I can also offer walks depending on location. Pets are monitored 24/7 and never left alone. Good pups with food aggression,,, I am sure to feed away from the other pets just to avoid any accidents. Please be honest and inform me if this is an issue your pet has. I work from home with a super flexible schedule that allows me to have the freedom to have complete control of my work schedule. I am always willing to accommodate when I can. Your pets home away from home is my motto. I like to allow pups the freedom to roam around freely and get comfortable wherever they choose.

Shantell was great with Chadwick! She was able to accommodate us somewhat last minute over Labor Day weekend and was responsive throughout his stay, sending pictures and videos so I knew how he was doing. When I picked Chadwick up, he was happy, relaxed, and completely his normal self, which gave me a lot of confidence that he’d been comfortable and well cared for. I would absolutely leave him with Shantell again!

It’s extremely important to know if your dog has any aggression whatsoever. It can be food, playtime or just not very sociable with other dogs or people. This ensures the safety of others as well as your pet.
