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!

I had several schedule changes leading up to the stay. Shell was very patient and understanding. Shell worked with Dino and Nico's socializing and using a doggie door which is very much appreciated.

Shell was great! Chili had the best time ever. Shell made sure to send us updates and photos of Chili while we were gone. We felt very comfortable with her. Chili loved Shell. We would 100% recommend and use her again!

Shel and her family have taken care of our Zephyr twice and he’s well taken care of by people who love the dogs in their care.

Mae had a great time with Shell. I received pictures and updates telling me how Mae was getting along. I know Mae will feel comfortable staying with Shell in the future.
