Pet care experience
Marrero Small Doggy Boarding
Dogs have been a part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I work remotely full‑time, so I’m home throughout the day to supervise, monitor, and care for your pup. My two small dogs—Khloe (Shih Tzu) and Whitney (Morkie)—are friendly, calm, and used to having guest pups around. Any dog who stays with me is treated like family. I focus on creating a safe, structured, and comfortable environment where each dog can relax, play, and feel at home. My home is listed for sale while I am trying to purchase another in my area, so there may occasionally be showings. When this happens, all dogs will either be crated and left in the office room or crated and brought along with my mother and myself. NOTE: I do not have means of transportation except for Lyft/Uber or, rarely, riding along with a relative/friend.

Ratings and reviews
Higgins is always happy and relaxed when he is with Shelby!
Thank you! Ziggy was well cared for. I appreciate all the videos and pictures.
Here’s a polished review you could leave: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars I cannot say enough great things about the care Mochi received! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in good hands. He was well cared for and I received regular videos and updates that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. When I picked him up, everything was clean, organized, and Mochi looked happy, healthy, and well-loved. One thing that stood out to me was that he never seemed stressed or unhappy during his stay. It was clear that he was treated with patience, kindness, and genuine care. The communication was excellent, the environment was welcoming, and the level of professionalism exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely trust her with Mochi again and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my baby! 🐾❤️
Very nice and professional! Your fur baby will be in good hands🫶🏽
Shelby was very nice and accommodating. She provided daily video updates as well.
Shelby is ALWAYS great with Higgy!! He always seems at peace when I pick him up. I love that.

Schedule
I work remotely full‑time, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and care throughout the day. Dogs stay in the home with me while I work, and I provide frequent potty breaks in my fenced yard, along with playtime, attention, and a calm indoor environment. In the evenings, my mother is also home and helps with pet care. My home is listed for sale while I am trying to purchase another in my area, so there may occasionally be showings. When this happens, all dogs will either be crated and left in the office room or crated and brought along with my mother and myself. I want to be out of the way so buyers can view it privately. Dogs remain safe / supervised the entire time. Drop‑Off & Pick‑Up Availability (Updated) To balance remote work, dog care, and the home‑selling process, all drop‑offs and pick‑ups must stay within these windows: Weekdays: • 7:00 AM – 4:30 PM • 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM Weekends: • 7:00 AM – 10:30 AM • 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM These windows help me manage work meetings, showings, and daily routines. I add all scheduled times to my phone calendar, and I appreciate a quick message if you’re running early or late. My home is monitored with security cameras at the front door and in the backyard 24/7 for added safety. NOTE: I do not have means of transportation except for Lyft/Uber or, rarely, riding along with a relative/friend.

A typical day
A typical day here is calm, structured, and full of attention. I work remotely, so dogs spend the day inside with me while I’m at my desk, with plenty of breaks for potty time, play, and affection. I keep a relaxed environment indoors, and the dogs enjoy toys, snuggles, and floor time throughout the day. All outdoor time takes place in my fully fenced yard, where dogs can safely explore, stretch their legs, and play. Because there are many off‑leash dogs in the neighborhood, I do not offer walks outside the property — the yard provides a secure space for exercise without risk. Fun activities include supervised play with toys, gentle enrichment, sniffing time in the yard, and lots of one‑on‑one attention. I love sitting on the floor with the dogs so they feel comfortable and included. My home is listed for sale while I am trying to purchase another in my area, so there may occasionally be showings. When this happens, all dogs will either be crated and left in the office room or crated and brought along with my mother and myself. I want to be out of the way so buyers can view it privately. Dogs remain safe / supervised the entire time. Every dog gets a balance of play, rest, and companionship to help them feel at home.
