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. We will be unavailable for requests mid May-June 2024. 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!
Reviews
Shelby provided daily updates, via pictures, of Harley (which were appreciated) and took great care of him. I would use Shelby again and would highly recommend her to others.
Shelby and her husband were great watching our Sadie while we were away. She always kept me updated. Will definitely use again! 💕
Great experience as always. Thank you Shelby and Jose for caring for Layla; she loves you two!
Shelby and Jose do a wonderful job caring for Layla while we are away. Layla is always so excited to see them both whenever we arrive to drop her off; it’s clear she enjoys her time with them. They send lots of pictures and updates throughout her stays and are very communicative and easy to plan with. I highly recommend them!

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. There is even a dog park we can go to if it is nice and you don’t mind us taking your pooch for a car ride. During the work week, I come home at lunch to provide a potty break and playtime, but also my husband works from home so he can provide potty breaks as needed.

When we board, we are able to offer potty breaks about every four hours during the work week. During holidays, weekends and summers we are home more frequently. Jose can also work from home sometimes.
