Shelley was amazing with our dog at her place when we were away for a couple of days. Shelley has an absolute love for dogs and pampered ours when she stayed over. I will absolutely use Shelly again in the future if we need boarding services again!

Shelley took great care of Sadie, my 12 year old beagle/dachshund. I was a bit nervous leaving her with someone new after our previous sitter of 7 years moved away. I was gone for 10 days with little cell service. But Shelley kept me up to date and sent photos, showing me that Sadie was having a great time with lots of cuddles and play time! I will definitely be using her next time I need a sitter.

Shelley is a wonderful sitter. We knew our dog was in good hands from the moment we met her, and I think Lucas would agree from the way he was asking to be pet by her in the update videos haha! Thanks Shelly!
