Shelby and her family provided top notch care for my pooch. She provided great communication and pictures throughout the stay. She was flexible and friendly and I definitely will use her services again.

Benny had a great time with Shelby and her crew! We loved seeing the pics and videos she sent throughout his stay, we could see he was comfortable and happy the whole time. He was a happy and tired pug when we picked him up :) Thank you!!

Shelby and her whole family were so friendly and warm and great caretakers of my pup! The whole family gave him lots of attention, snuggles, and love. I appreciated the updates and pictures that Shelby sent during Ollie’s stay. I know he was in great hands!

Shelby and her family took perfect care of Diego! She was easy to coordinate with, has a cozy and welcoming space I knew Diego would feel right at home in and sent regular updates as promised. Would definitely use again. Thanks so much!

Safety, trust & environment

Cozy small fenced backyard for safe sniff-and-play sessions, plus nearby dog parks for big adventures and socialization! I have Three kids join the fun in our lively mil family—always supervised with my kids (ages 6,10,12; pups must love little humans!). I don not own crate but I can crate softly if needed, if you bring crate use pet-safe everything, and create quiet zones for rests or shy pups

A typical day

We go on multiple walks a day. If your dog is a run then they will go on mile long runs. We love being outside. We also have a dog park in our community and love to take there when there as well if your pet likes that.
