I have baby gated the staircase so the cats have a safe space away from the dogs as well as across the front entryway to prevent escapees, I also have 2 optional crates available upon request only, one being 42" the other 48", as well as a playpen should it be needed not to mention enrichment puzzles/toys to keep your pet stimulated! I have leashes ranging from 4ft slip leads to 6ft leashes to 30ft training lines available if needed! You can trust you'll have a happy and tired pup upon pick up!

Private Canine Club

Pet care experience

Stay tuned for end of Aug updates! Exciting things happening! It's the pets world 🌎 we're just living in it 😊 We believe daycare should feel enriching and empowering — never overwhelming. Our club model focuses on small, curated play groups of 3-5 dogs, personalized attention, balanced enrichment, and proper rest to create a calm, low-stress environment where dogs can socialize, explore, and decompress comfortably. From agility and sensory play to orthopedic rest lounges and homemade frozen treats, every detail is intentionally designed to support canine wellbeing through comfort, confidence, and play. I have education in animal care! Special diet? Medication? No problem! I have also walked dogs for the humane society as well as co-oped in vet and grooming settings! I've been living and breathing animal welfare for majority of my life. I have experience caring for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, reptiles, Bunnies, Guinea pigs, horses and much more!

This is the second time we have asked Shelby to look after our dogs and it has been great. Her house and environment is very similar to our house. She has provided me with h several daily updates and it makes a difference when you are a week away. It has been a great experience and I certainly will consider again for a future boarding need and she is highly recommended

Shelby provided an extraordinary care for my two huskies during their stay with her. From the flexibility to do a Meet and Greet to providing me daily updates of my dogs; she made me feel at ease. Her place was good environment (closer to what we have at home); a family place, not a kennel. She also brushed them and provided some 1-1 time to each one of them as they love their pets. For sure, I will consider her again for another boarding when the family is travelling. Thank you for making my time off more relaxing as well.
