Dogs=AMAZING--People..eh just ok :)

Pet care experience

I have been dog sitting for roughly 15 years or so. I was a mom to a dog for 12 years of the 15, who recently passed away at the age of 14. Since my little mans passing I decided to offer my love to others pups until I am ready to adopt again. I treat dogs like people. I am stern and do not allow pets to rule me but I am also very fun to hang out with. I offer LOTS of attention and LOVE. I've probably only found about 2 dogs in my lifetime to be a challenge to get their acceptance right away. I adapt well with all breeds, ages, special needs, and also rescue dogs. I have trained quite a few pets with great success.

Shelena is a great gal who took good care of Rhody (Rosie) for 2 and a half weeks while we were on vacation.

She did a great job with my pups! They love her. I will definitely be using her again. So thankful to have found such a great dog lover nearby.

Shelena is amazing! We texted a lot the week prior and chatted the night before. She is a total dog-mom and her love for her fur babies is obvious. I felt totally at ease with leaving my Rosie with her. She texted me during the stay and kept me informed. Can I give more than 5 stars? I hope she’ll be available the next time I’m in Monterey.

Information Shelena B. would like to know about your pet

I have no preferences on breed. I would appreciate knowing of any special needs, diets, fears, nervous habits they may have (mainly so I know theyre not having a seizure but maybe just like chasing shadows or something :) ) I also; unless its part of a strict diet, maybe chicken and rice; am a full believer in NOT feeding them human food.

A typical day

I have very large both fenced front and back yard for your pets to play in. But with owners permission I wouldn't be opposed to taking your pet to the beach, nearby parks, or just around this beautiful neighborhood I reside in. I am open for suggestion as well.
