Information Shelby K. would like to know about your pet

We like to do meet and greets with pets and families to get to know what to expect from your pet. We like to know the feeding schedule, typical behaviors, how your dog likes to be pet, and more.

A typical day

If it’s the weekend or summer, your dog and I will enjoy playing at home, relaxing on the couch and taking walks throughout the neighborhood and nearby park. During a typical stay, we try to keep your pet’s routines as similar as possible to their home routines so they are as comfortable as possible.

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Shelby and I grew up in Crystal Lake. My husband and I run our dog boarding and house sitting business together. We are bilingual, Spanish and English. Shelby As a child my dream job response was veterinarian (although I now work as a teacher). I’m 100% a dog person and love all animals. Being with dogs renews my energy so that I am my best for my students. I’ve been dog sitting and dog walking for clients since 2017. Prior to that, I had taken care of family friends’ dogs- pugs, golden retrievers, labs, poodles and more. Jose My wife says all dogs love me and that I am a dog whisperer. I don’t know if that’s true, but I sure do love spending time with dogs. I’m always happy when I’ve got a dog by my side. I’m also available for odd jobs and anything IT related. I have my BS in computer science. We can do drop in visits, walks, overnights and boarding. We are also offering doggie daycare out of our home, see below for more info. We look forward to meeting you and your dog!
