My Golden (Buddy) loved his Vacay with Shelly and Kai. He came home a little homesick for Shelly's. Will definitely be contacting her for future Vacay's.

Shelly was a wonderful dog host! She was great at communicating with us while we were gone, and she sent pictures. She clearly understands dog behavior. I know my dog had a very comfortable stay and was in good hands. I would definitely book with Shelly again.

Shelly took excellent care of our dog Hank, and I know he was in good hands during his stay with her. She is also, a really great communicator, and sent us photos and messages while we were gone. I would definitely recommend her services.

I book via the app and at least 24 hours in advance. I do not work with dogs that are constantly punished, forced with sock, or fear based methods. I only work with dogs that are capable of going on walks and accepting strangers without severe distress.

A typical day

I want your pet to love me! They consistently receive detailed attention with lots of patience and love. I help dogs learn better by setting them up for success on walks and during structured play. We naturally will work on basic doggie manners when we spend time together. For dog walking, I will recommend the best humane walking equipment.
