Attentive care for your fur baby
Pet care experience
Hello! I am a long-time animal lover and have experience with all types of pets! I was a professional equestrian for many years and grew up on a farm caring for all types of animals (even ran a raccoon rescue for several years 😄!). I have also raised several toy breeds and know how vital it is to watch out for their safety and be extra gentle. These days my fiancé and I just have one mini schnauzer named Gatsby who is the center of our world (and he knows it!). We love taking hikes and going to the dog park and take our pup everywhere with us and would love to have your fur baby join us! Experience with puppies (big and small), senior dogs, and administering medication. I work from home full time and my flexible schedule means your pup would never be left home alone for long periods of time. We also have puppy cams in our house so that we can talk to the pups when we are away and keep an eye on them even for an hour. I like to break up my day with walks and trips to the dog park so your pup won’t get bored. We have a large fenced yard and live on a quiet dead end street so there isn’t too much over-stimulation for the more sensitive pups. I can crate dogs if need be and keep them in a separate room from our own pup if necessary.
Reviews
So wonderful to know our little guy is in such good hands! Shay is warm and kind, and Gatsby is a fantastic new friend. We are so happy to know that we’ve found such a great “summer camp” while we’re away.
Our puppy, Osi loves to stay with Shay and play with her dog, Gatsby. This was her second time staying with Shay and Osi clearly remembered it as soon as we pulled up. Her tail started wagging and she ran up to the door. Shay is wonderful!
Shay was so warm and kind with our little guy. Great communication and updates all along! Could not have been happier with Pip’s stay. Thanks a million, Shay!
Shay was absolutely amazing. This was our first time leaving our puppy (6 months old) and she was in the best hands with Shay. She got tons of exercise playing with her dog and lots of love and attention. Shay was a great communicator - we loved seeing the updates/photos/videos and also had some really fun pup toys for Sunny to play with during her stay. Would highly recommend!

When staying with us pups get to be with us all day, sleeping next to us while we work, snuggling on the couch with us, and eating meals with us. They are part of the family!
Home
Information Shay C. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog get along with other dogs or need to be separated? Is your dog shy and needs plenty of alone time or do they like to be social and active all the time? Also any medications or special feeding instructions I am happy to accommodate so long as I know ahead of time.
A typical day
Love going on walks around the neighborhood each morning and evening and to Indian Lake Park for longer hikes or to Prairie Moraine Dog Park so stretch those legs and get some social time. Pups also love sunbathing in the yard during the afternoon and playing fetch with us for hours.

We consider dogs to be like our children so wherever we are, they are right next to us. We are home most of the time so our schedule kind of revolves around the animals in our life. 😄
