Pet care experience

Paw Pals Bed & Breakfast

Hi everyone - I have been with Dogvacay which is now Rover for more than 11 years now. I work from home and my hours for meet and greets, drop off and pickup is 7 AM to 6 PM, seven day a week and I can be flexible at times depending upon my schedule and other obligations. When you leave your babies with me, they become my babies. They get lots of hugs and cuddles, I only feed them what is brought for them and no table scraps. I also feed all dogs separately. I have 2 doggie doors with 24 hour access inside/outside. They must get along with other dogs and absolutely no aggression. I have a big back yard with high walls. Set up a meet and greet here at Paw Pals Bed & Breakfast! You won't be disappointed. I currently work from home 90% of the time which leaves me plenty of time to cuddle and play with your fur baby. I only take non aggressive dogs. I have a fenced yard with 24 hour access to a doggie door. I am very passionate about what I do and I get very attached to all my regulars. This is a second home to a lot of my pups. I look forward to meeting you all!

Shell was great! We were able to set up a meet and greet within a few days, Shell was quick with her responses and our dog loved her.

Doggy Day Care • Juni 28, 2026

Shell was very flexible and responsive to our needs. Ace is 6 years old and we rescued him as a stray, and so he does have separation anxiety. He’s been watched before but never in someone else’s house and it was probably too much for him to acclimate with 6 other dogs on site.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! 0 stars if I could. You better have a young dog that doesn't need a lot of care, because this bitch doesn't do anything. My little old man had sores on his neck, sores on his feet, his rt eye is messed up and he couldn't stand up when my wife got him home. Lousy care by a lousy person. DO NOT USE THIS BITCH!!! I will be lodging a complaint with Rover. Disgusting.

Shell, her niece, and nephew were very accommodating to our specific needs. Our dogs immediately felt calm and at ease in their presence. When I would text to ask how the dogs were doing, pictures and an update were sent right away. Our 4 dogs are used to being the only dogs at the pet sitter's house, and we had not realized there would be many more dogs staying at the same time. However, Shell's niece and nephew went above and beyond with our dogs to reach our comfort level, and for that, we were truly grateful. We feel our dogs were very well taken care of.

Great job watching our dog! We felt very comfortable leaving him in your care, and the updates and feedback on how he was doing were fantastic. We really appreciated the communication and would happily recommend you to others.
