DOGS LOVE ME !
Pet care experience
I have owned dogs for 40 years. I just recently lost my little Maltese. He was 16 years old and my best friend. Your dog will be treated like a grandchild when they are with me. One of my friends said that when she dies she wants to come back as one of my pets! I have the time and the experience to take care of your dog. I will try to accommodate your scheduling needs. If your dog requires a special diet that is not a problem. Once a week I roasted a chicken for my little guy. I just love their company. I look forward to the opportunity of spending time with them, playing, going for walks, and always having cuddle time. The house is just not the same without a dog around. I am retired so I have the flexibility to accommodate your booking and scheduling needs. No need to panic if you are delayed picking up your best friend. I adjust the day according to your dog's schedule. Your pet takes top priority. Since I only board one dog at a time (or 2 within the same family) your dog has my undivided attention all day. If your dog likes to cuddle on the couch or sleeps in your bed that is what he/she can do at my house. Before I accept a booking I require a Meet and Greet to determine if we are a good fit. I prefer small hypoallergenic breeds that do not shed. Your dog must be house broken, bathed prior to boarding, current on all vaccines, and must have had a flea and tic treatment. I also request that anything you bring into my house is clean and laundered, like blankets and beds, etc. Your pet will never be outside unattended or off leash. Your dog becomes a member of my family during their stay and will be cared for like my own. That's a promise!

I am SO grateful to have found Shelley!! Her thorough questions regarding our dog at the meet-n-greet showed me how intentional she is to tailor her care to each individual dog's needs. Murphy was calm and happy when we picked him up and even left me at one point to go back to stand near Shelley. That said it all to me! Thank you so much, Shelley!
Shelley was wonderful.. kind and caring. She treated my dog as if it was her own. I was given updates frequently about my dog. That really put me at ease. I highly recommend her and look forward to using her services again. ☺️
Shelley is extremely kind and understanding of all dog issues. Our little pup who was a rescue, is very nervous and barky but Shelley knew how to handle her fearful nature. Also, she went out of her way to prepare homemade food when Nickie ran out. I felt so comfortable leaving Nickie in Shelley’s care! She goes over and beyond
Shelley is such an amazing lady and my dog loves her. She gave me the update about dog every single day. She is calm, kind and big dog lover. My dog really enjoyed the stay with her.

Information Shelley K. would like to know about your pet
At the Meet and Greet I will chat with you about your dog and ask you questions about your dog's daily routine and needs and at the same time observe your pet . This is an opportunity for you to ask me any questions you may have about me as well. I look forward to meeting you and your little guy!
A typical day
Your dog is going to have one continuous play date with me. I can adapt to their schedule so the transition to my home will be an easy one. Plan on walks several times a day and lots of play time. I spend a lot of time interacting with them during the day so they are very well engaged. If your dog is elderly and just likes to nap well we can do a lot of sofa cuddling.
