State licensed and home based!

Pet care experience

**Please know, I do watch multiple dogs at a time, If your dog needs to be the only dog in a home, my home will not be a good fit!! Additionally, all dogs need their DHPP/DAPP, Rabies, and Bordetella shots. ** I have been dog sitting for about 5 years and have been around dogs for much longer than that! My home consists of 2 floors, the first floor is my state licensed dog sitting area! The dogs have 2000+ sq feet inside to play in and they also have their own "rooms" (20-30 sq ft) for private eating time and to "chill out" if they need their alone time. The backyard is about 2000 square feet and I have a 6' fence that goes around the yard. My living space is on the second floor, so I am on site and within ear shot of the pups! I accept all breeds, sizes, and ages. I am experienced in giving medication both orally and by injection. I work in a dog shelter with rescued dogs and I have experience with different behavioral issues (anxiety, food aggression, ect) and don't mind the pups who need a little extra. I will not accept dogs who are actively dog aggressive. Safety is #1 priority! I know how important a dog is to a family. Schedule a meet and greet to come by and check the place out and I can answer any questions that you may have about life at my place!! Thanks! I look forward to making sure your best friend is safe and happy while you're away.

Shelly was great!! Taco had an amazing time and she gave me a full rundown of his stay when we picked him up! She is quick to respond and you can tell she knows what she’s doing! Will board here again!

Shelly takes great care of our dogs and has a lot of space to do so. They always gets lots of playtime with her and she clearly loves having dogs around.

Shelly has completely won over my dog. He now thinks he has a new mom. Total confidence in leaving my "old man" dog with her. She is wonderful.

Information Shelly G. would like to know about your pet

I do need to know about any medical or health issues that your pooch has, as well as any behavioral issues. There may be things that are "normal" to you but that could worry me if I'm not aware of them (does your pooch whine a lot, or is that a signal that something is wrong? Are they scared of going up and down steps? Do storms scare them?) and it is super helpful to know about those things ahead of time!!

A typical day

The pups have a lot of play space. We have 1000 sq ft inside and 900 sq ft outside to get in a lot of exercise! I've got toys (no stuffies, they get destroyed too quickly!!) and we play ball, tug of war, and the dogs usually send some time chasing each other around the yard.
