Information Shelly A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time the needs of your animals so that I can accommodate them to ensure high quality care for them.

A typical day

I love to take dogs for a walk and to the park in my neighborhood. I enjoy playing with dogs in my back yard with a ball and chasing them around. I like to play with cats by hanging string and toys for them to paw at as well as rolling ping pong balls around the floor for the cars to chase.

Shelly really understands dog behavior and psychology. She is able to handle several different types of dog personalities at the same time and make sure that they all get along and have fun and are well loved. She’s a very patient and kind person.

Shelly was so sweet to Alfie and sent us pictures. We're so grateful for her. She went above and beyond and helped us so much! We had trouble with our truck on trip up and she was very understanding.
