Holistic Minded Dog Lover
I am an animal lover! I grew up with dogs and have had dogs most of my adult life, and I love them! I have had an Old English Sheep Dog, Poodle, Collie, Golden Retriever, Field Retriever and a few mutts. I am a new empty nester looking for daily companions to keep me company as I take walks, garden, cook, read and meditate. I have an 8 yr. old female Golden Field Retriever who is friendly and playful. I am looking for a few dogs for daycare and a few to walk each day. My husband Ed owned Huffman Painting and we have lived in Glendale for 25 years. I have a large fenced in yard and Larson Park is about a 15-minute walk from my home and is our favorite hangout. My son Emanuel travels a lot but will be home part time helping out.

Ratings and reviews
Shelly was amazing with Jax! We got lots of pictures and videos of a boy who was having a blast at her house. What a great backyard space for them to play. She was thorough at explaining everything and is so professional. Thank you Shelly for taking care of our boy ❤️
Shelly was fantastic for our Tootsie and excellent with keeping us updated!
Shelly is the absolute best. My dogs seem to love spending time with her and we love that we are leaving them with someone we trust.
Kona loves staying with Shelly!! She is communicative and always sends pictures and videos of Kona throughout her stay which is awesome. Kona loved spending time exploring the big yard and sniffing around! She came home happy and sleepy from her stay! :)
Shelly takes great care of our dog!
Shelly’s watched our Wilma for a year now and we have adopted a 2nd pup, Lemmy, and they both love it at Shelly’s! We see lots of photos and videos and know they are comfortable and having fun!

Schedule
I have been a stay at home, homeschool Mom and am a recent empty nester. I am looking for a few sweet dogs for daycare to keep me company as I garden, cook, read and meditate. I am home most of the time and have a flexible schedule.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced in yard backed by woods. My dog loves to have the ball thrown. We often go to Larson Park. Free range, allowed on furniture, daily exercise- walks or running in the yard with ball throwing. Holistic minded- no air fresheners, perfumes, scented candles, cleaners or bio toxicants that may cause harm to our precious animal friends. Hoping to find like-minded folks who also prefer unscented and/or natural products for their homes and pets. My home is also low EMFs! :) I can crate as needed but prefer free roaming.
A typical day
Throwing the ball, watching the birds and sunning in our wooded backyard is our favorite thing to do. A walk down to Larson Park while exploring the smells of the neighborhood is another favorite activity.
