Dependable, mature, loving care!

Pet care experience

I am an experienced, loving pet parent myself and I absolutely love all animals. I currently own 2 Australian Shepherds, both male, both neutered, and both dog-friendly! I’ve had animals most of my life, and was actually raised on a farm, surrounded by dogs, cats, goats, ducks, cows, and horses. Animals, especially dogs, are my heart! Taking care of your pet with love and care is what I pride myself in. They will get so many cuddles and snuggles (unless they don’t like that). My dogs and I like to hike, swim, and explore and yours are welcome to join our adventures while boarding. My dogs also LOVE to chew bones and nap on lazy days. Whatever your babies need, I will provide! For boarding clients: I work from home much of the time. For the times I am not at home, my dogs have free roam of the house. Your pets will free roam as well unless you desire crating. I have two happy, healthy Australian Shepherds. They LOVE to play wrestle and wear each other out. If your pup comes over, be ready for lots and lots of play! I do not crate mine, but do have several crates if you prefer yours to crated. Whether in my home or yours, I will carry out care just exactly as you specify! I have a flexible work schedule, and am home much of the time. In addition to boarding, my work schedule allows me to schedule drop-ins and walks if that is what you need. We are very active every single day and we take our boarders with us if they like going! Your baby will have lots of exercise!

Shelly did a great job looking after our cat and dog for a long weekend! She made a special effort to come 3x a day so that our dog didn’t have to go too long between potty breaks. She communicated very well and sent us tons of great photos of our pets. I will definitely hire Shelly again. Highly recommend!

Shelly was the absolute best! She played endlessly with Finn, provided him a comfy spot to play and sleep, and was constantly intentional about giving him the best care. She sent such fun pictures throughout Finn's stay that showed his happiness and comfort. She had to problem solve because Finn was marking inside her house. She never complained or acted frustrated. She found a way to keep him from doing this and still expressed how much she loved him! This is so kind. She was always quick to respond and so easy to work with.

I have a large fenced yard. We also have a large fenced field that my dogs love to run around in. Whether I’m boarding, doing drop-in visits, or walks, safety is my top priority. Your dog must do fairly well on a leash if going on walks.

A typical day

If I care for your dog in my home, most of all they will enjoy playing with my two Aussies. We go on lots of walks, some are for exercise and some walks are slower where we take time to sniff!! I have lots of treats to keep their tummy happy. We have lots of balls to throw, ropes to play tug of war, and other toys galore! If your pup enjoys car rides, we sometimes go to get a Pup Cup and ride around with our tongues wagging out the window!
