I wish it was possible to leave 6-stars...Shelby was such a gracious host, excellent communicator, and took great care of Kal while we were on the road. Seeing him have such a great time on their ranch and playing with the other dogs! Highly recommend :)
We boarded our GSP who absolutely LOVED being on the farm with Shelby. She treated our pup just like one of her own and trained him during his stay. She sent videos, photos and the communication could not have been better and she is an animal whisperer! Are pup is definitely coming back to the farm. Thank you for your work Ms. Shelby! Love, Bogey
Shelby was beyond accommodating and kind. My dog Tate had so much fun with Shelby!! Shelby frequently updated with pictures and videos. I can’t wait to book with Shelby again!
My dogs had such a great experience at Shelby's, I wish I could have stayed there with them. If the Four Seasons Resorts had a dog care facility, this would be it. A friend of mine recommended Shelby and Rover when I needed someone to look after my dogs while I was having some work done at my house. Shelby's ranch is fantastic. The dogs were able to roam during the day. They got walked, they got to chase squirrels and wild turkeys, they got to hang out with Shelby and her husband inside the house to rest. They got to say hi to goats and a horse (across a fence). They got treats. They came home happy, exhausted and ready to go back. Not only is the environment fantastic for dogs, Shelby's understanding of canine behavior, health and nutrition is a huge plus. In the short time she was taking care of Zzyzy and Toot, she was able to give me insights into their behaviors. I learned from the dog's experiences as well. A great thing all 'round. It was such a positive experience for the dogs, they're definitely going back the next time I need dog care. I can't recommend Shelby enough. I can't wait for my dogs to go back!

My husband and I work from home! We live on 5 fully fenced acres. Dogs are walked 2-3 miles every morning, walked again at lunch and then in the evening as well. IN ORDER TO BOARD WITH US YOUR DOG MUST BE CRATE TRAINED. Dogs are crated when we leave the house for their safety. We also occasionally will board dogs that do not like other dogs. To keep everyone safe and feeling comfortable we have to be able to rotate dogs, so it is imperative your dog is comfortable in the crate during the day for 1-2 hour windows. **To try and mitigate disease risk, we do not allow home visits until drop off. At drop off, you are welcome to tour the house and property. If you feel strongly that you would like to see the property, i am happy to FaceTime you.**
