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!

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.

Doggy Day Care • May 17, 2026

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!

Shelly has taken such great care of my dog. She is very loving with her and I totally trust her to adminster my dog's medications, which is a huge comfort to me. She's truly awesome and I highly recommend her!

Incredibly communicative, the way she prioritizes the dog’s fun is so admirable and reassuring. Currently booking a second stay, looking forward to many more!

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.
