Pet care experience

I’ll care for your pets like my own

I have always had dogs and cats. I enjoy both but there’s nothing like a wiggle wagging pupper butt.Retired from dog grooming receptionist, also former dog walker. I have lake access if your pet enjoys swimming, hiking trails for off street walking, dog stroller for small or older pups who still want to enjoy going for walks. Good size fenced in yard for potty and play. Pets are welcome to relax on the furniture and sleep in the bedroom even on the bed if that is where they feel the most comfortable. I will treat your pet like my own spoiled animals. I will strive to make what can be a stressful scary experience of being at a strangers home comforting and fun and a place they will want to come back to. I am at home full-time and am able to care for your pets at anytime! I will treat your pet like my own spoiled animals! I have lake access if your pet enjoys swimming, hiking trails for off street walking, dog stroller for small or older pups who still want to enjoy going for walks.

Shelly was very easy to work with and accommodating with drop off and pick up times due to our kids sports schedules. Right away our dogs seemed comfortable with her and in her home. Yard is secure and dog friendly. This was the first time leaving our dogs with someone who is not family it went great! Shelly treats the dogs in her care as her own.

Could not be happier with our experience. Scout was treated like a princess. The care, communication & considerations are top notch! Will definitely be using Shelly again in the future
