Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and have the ability to make zones within my home if it's necessary. I try to stick to the typical schedule the animals are used to, to the best of my ability and schedule.
Home
Information Shella S. would like to know about your pet
- Please let me know if your dog frequently has accidents, is anxious, fears, behaviour issues, has allergies, ANYTHING that might affect their safety or comfort level. I want to know everything so I can be fully prepared. - Where does your dog sleep? And are they allowed on furniture? - Does your dog get along with cats? - Does your dog need to be crated when we are out of the house? - Can we bring your dog on car rides, or on a hike (dogs always stay leashed)? - We ask that dogs be up-to-date on their rabies vaccination and flea prevention.
A typical day
We live near a park that has great walking trails, and love to have hiking buddies (with your permission, and always leashed). We also have a big fenced yard where your dog can play for hours - we have lots of balls and frisbees! We also just love to watch a movie and cuddle with pups on the couch. Please provide your dog's own food and medications. We have some treats but if they have personal preference, please bring those. We also have bedding but find that dogs are much more comfortable with their own beds and/or a shirt from their owners.

Will treat your pet like family
Pet care experience
I have volunteered with multiple animal shelters (including fostering), a big cat sanctuary, and has worked at a veterinary clinic and pet boarding facility. I will be your pet's main caregiver, and have also owned dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, ferrets, frogs, and turtles throughout my life. My partner Marlon loves to walk/run with dogs and has had dogs, and is a chicken lover as well! I am very prepared to handle many situations and pet personalities. I recently cared for our senior dog (18-years-old!) with medical needs, and fostered puppies, so I am very understanding of dog needs. I understand how to make dogs feel safe and part of our family, and will send daily pictures to you so you know they're in good hands. **Have pets that aren't dogs?** I also own a cat, chickens, two turtles, and frogs. I volunteer at a cat rescue and have volunteered at a big cat sanctuary, have had hamsters, ferrets, an iguana, axolotls, fish.... I can handle most animals, just ask! **Notes** - There will be an additional late fee of $5.00 for every hour past the agreed time for pick-up, unless you clearly communicate with us about your timeline. - Rates are per 24 hours.

Many thanks for taking care of my boys!!! Absolutely top notch!


Shella is the best. If you need someone to take care of your pets and want to rest well knowing at night that they have been walked and cared for then Shella is your go to! Many thanks for your help and taking care of my babies!




This is the second time we've used Shella. Can't say enough great things about her. She goes above and beyond to take care of our kitty cats and make sure they have everything they need. My husband and I highly recommend her!




Shella was the absolute BEST! She took the best care of our kitty cats. She fed them, cleaned their litter boxes and played with them. She was such an animal lover that our shy girl, Freya, even came out to say hello on the 2nd visit. Definitely plan to use her again. We highly recommend her.
