The Doggy Casita - I Work From Home
Hi! I'm a dog boarder with 7 years of experience excited to play with your pup! I am an active person who's into hiking, walking, yoga, and swimming. We do a fair amount of dog walks per day but not when it's too hot :) I love to host dogs in my home, and my puppy, Pepper, loves other doggies of all sizes but sometimes can take some getting used to as she is a little miss sassy pants. She is also very little so I am careful to only take friendly, non-reactive dogs. Pepper loves to play ball and tug of war be chased around the house and play. I give great belly rubs + booty scratches; I know where all the spots to hit are :) I prefer doing meet and greets either before you book or before the visit so we can make sure the dogs get along and I can ask you all about your dog, so you can rest assured that the dog is being taken care of when you're away. I ask for updated vet info and an emergency contact. If your dog is sick, I will want to take him or her to your own vet. Also, please note my housing complex has quiet hours, so I can't accommodate early drop-offs or late pickups outside of the hours of 8 AM-9 PM. Please plan accordingly and book extra if needed. Additionally, if your dog has excessive accidents in the house, I assess a cleaning fee of $50 to the booking additional to cover laundry an time spend cleaning. Thank you for understanding!

Ratings and reviews
Shelly is wonderful, so happy to have found her!
Shelly was very attentive to Gus and his needs. Highly recommend.
As always, Shelly is attentive and thorough. Willow always comes home as calm and rested as if she never left which is exactly what you want for your senior doggo.
Shelly is detail oriented, reliable, and flexible. I am so appreciative that we found her to care for our senior Great Dane mix when we’re out of town. This is a loving and gentle option for her in her twilight time. Thank you Shelly.
Shelly is great! Our dog loves getting to stay with her, and we appreciate her patience and professionalism with nervous pets. Will definitely book with her again.
Shelly was so patient and kind with our dog Loretta! It was our dogs first time at daycare since we rescued her so she was a bit nervous, and Shelly kept us updated and made tweaks to her schedule to make sure Loretta felt comfortable which we really appreciate. We'll definitely book with Shelly again, thank you so much!

Schedule
I work from home and am usually around - if I go exercise or run errands, I'm usually gone only a couple hours max. We get up around 7:30, walk around 8, and then eat breakfast; then we do another walk around 12, 4-5, and a final potty at 10 - 10:30.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
The bungalow complex has a fenced-in yard, but the dogs are not allowed to run free; we generally do walks for exercise and potties but hang out in the yard to say hi to other dogs,

A typical day
I go hiking often, either in Griffith or Lake Hollywood or Griffith and now that it is hot, we like to do evening walks from my house to Larchmont and back. I WFH so we have a pretty regular schedule, most playtime in the morning and
