I will treat your pet like my own!
Pet care experience
I have 31 yrs of professional experience with dogs as it was my past career. (Supervisor at Humane Society). I have fostered small dogs (mainly senior, ill or neglected) for two decades. I believe that pets are family and deserve utmost attention. My large backyard is fully fenced with a large maple tree and a deck with immediate access to the indoors. I have no issues with incontinent dogs and have experience with diabetic pets. Your pet will be part of my home and treated like it is my own. Your pet will be welcome on my couch and bed. I have a fantastic cat who is loves everything I bring into our home. Oliver is sweet, easy going and super dog savvy. I also carry a certificate in Pet First-Aid/CPR. Your pet can receive extra care if requested such as bathing, brushing, small trims such as around the eyes and nail trim. At this stage of my life, I am home most of the time aside from having a few clients who I walk for mid-day. My yard is very safe and well-fenced and live in a quiet neighborhood. *I do take in multiple dogs at a time so your dog will most likely have friends to play with. I only accept small dogs (unfer 20 lbs) tbat arebe excellent with other dogs and cats. I have a large clientele so most dogs have been regulars for a few years and the dogs all know each other. I am just recently taking on new clients again as I have more space available.
Reviews
Very happy with the care that Shelley provided for our cat while we were away. She was very attentive and took extra care when he wasn't feeling well, we are grateful we chose her!
A great spot for little dogs to hang out! I’m very pleased with her service and response time, and will absolutely use her services again if needed!
Shelley was so caring with our pup! She gave him time and space to settle in to the new environment and other dogs, and kept us updated on his progress with messages and photos. We were able to relax knowing he was in very good care.
We always feel comfortable having Coco stay with Shelley. She loves running and playing in the big yard. Shelley is kind and accommodating - our go to for Coco!

Safety, trust & environment
My yard is fully fenced and secure. My patio door goes to the deck and yard. I only walk them in my neighborhood and never on the busy roads. If I have permission, I do take some regulars in the car or the park. When I need to leave the house, dogs can be separated into rooms or crated in their crates. I only occasionally ever have to do this and leave them with full range of the house. However, if needed they can be separated.

Information Shelley M. would like to know about your pet
For pet owners looking to board their pets in my home, I can only accept small dogs. I have awesome cats and a Guinea Pig in a large cage. If your pet may clash with a Guinea Pig, I can put her and her cage in a separate room during your pets stay. I have vast experience with elderly dogs and medical care. They are my passion. We will discuss your dogs breed traits, quirks, special diets and so on ahead of time or at the meet and greet.
A typical day
When your pet is with me, we will engage with fun silly play time, have full run of my large secure fenced in yard, play fetch, engage with your dog's favourite toys. Many dogs enjoy checking out my cat(s). We will have walks in a very friendly dog-loving neighbourhood with weather permitting, casual nights on the couch, cuddles and whatever you directly ask of me that your pet enjoys or requires. In the summer time, I have a kiddie pool for your pets enjoyment and to cool off.
