Your pup will be treated the same as mine. I ask that you provide me with their feeding schedule so that I can maintain the same schedule at our home. I have clients who bring dry kibble or their homemade dog food. I am fine with whatever you need me to do.

Information Shelby B. would like to know about your pet

Before allowing your pup to stay with our family we would like to know the following: 1. Who is your pets primary vet? 2. Is your pet leash trained? 3. Do you allow your dog to be taken on a walk? 3. Does your pet require medication? 4. Is your dog friendly to other dogs? 5. What is the pick up and drop off time of your pets visit? 6. What is your pups feeding schedule?

A typical day

I live in a beautiful subdivision in the country. I often take walks to our private lake in our neighborhood. We also have a stroller for those pups that would rather be pushed and enjoy the scenery. Toys toys and more toys are available to your pups!

Hi! I'm a crazy dog mom. <3

Pet care experience

I have been puppy sitting for a few years now. I adopted my two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels in 2014 and 2015. They love having friends over to play. I believe that dogs should be on the furniture. One reason I started caring for my friend's canines was the fact that they didn't want their dog to sleep alone. I wouldn't either! My two dogs are used to sleeping in bed with me every night and I know they would be so upset if they had to sleep in a kennel alone. If I were to watch your baby I would provide you with lots of pictures and videos to reassure you your babies miss you but are safe and having fun! I have a large fenced-in privacy fence that is secure. I do not leave our pups unattended in the yard and I wouldn't yours either! I am paranoid about leaving them alone outside. I would rather be safe than sorry! Boarding can be expensive! I couldn't even begin to imagine leaving my babies in a crate or a concrete cell all day. My boy pup has seizures and I am very familiar with how important it isn't for your dogs to receive their medication. Last-minute bookings are welcome! Message me to learn more!

I was so nervous to leave my puppy but after meeting Shelby, I knew he was in great hands. She sent us daily photos and our little guy was so well taken care of. I will absolutely use Shelby again! Highly recommend! 10/10! ⭐️

Shelby was wonderful and you knew she loved your dog.! Lincoln seemed very happy at her house. I will definitely ask her again to take care of Lincoln. Brenda

Shelby was excellent. She texted us the day before because we booked in advance. She sent us pictures and the dogs loved her.
