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!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Shell did amazing. Two dogs accepted last min (after a meet n greet). She kept me updated & was able to get my anxious dog to eat. I would definitely request her for next time and highly recommend her services
This is our second time booking with Shell, and we’ve had such a great experience both times! Zoey gets very energetic and excited when she’s around other dogs, and Shell does an amazing job making sure she gets plenty of playtime and burns off that extra energy. Zoey always comes home happy and well rested! Shell is also great at communicating and was very understanding and accommodating when we had a scheduling mix up on our end. We really appreciate her flexibility and the care she gives Zoey. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
I will not be boarding Pumpkin with Shell again. Shell fussed that Pumpkin whined too much. Well, Pumpkin only whines that way if she isn't getting any attention or acknowledgement from the people around her, and she doesn't need much. Shell overfed Pumpkin and instead of asking for clarification, told me I needed to send more food. Shell, or whoever was at the house, when my coworker picked Pumpkin up early was grouchy with my coworker even though I had multiple conversations with Shell, including one that morning, about what time Pumpkin would be picked up. Shell's pickup hours are restrictive for boarding (6 PM cutoff time). If you need somewhere to drop your dog off during the day, I think Shell has a nice setup, but I don't think she's well suited to overnight stays. Given how high her ratings are and how many repeat customers she has, I was really disappointed. Pumpkin is an easy board, she's never had any issues anywhere else.
Very accommodating to drop off and pick up times! Available last minute. Very responsive. They had friends to play with and were very well taken care of. Would rebook! Highly recommended!
Shell was a great doggie babysitter for my friskey 14 lb recent rescue. Great communication and is there all day for the dogs. My furbaby had playmates and came home happy and tired.
Thank you so much for watching our fur babies! And working with us on a mistake on our part. We appreciate you!

I work from home, waking up early around 6 am and going to bed around 9pm. I do tend to get up during the night for the pups that need to be kenneled. I only kennel pups upon owners request.

A typical day
Dogs are very stimulated and get a lot of great exercise with all the pups. I have a pretty large backyard for them to run and chase each other. There are plenty of ropes to chew on and play tug-a-war.
