Loving, Fun, Experienced Sitter

Pet care experience

I have privately boarded for over 20 years. I love animals and am very active in the animal community. I Also potty trained and leash trained puppies. Dogs are my life. A gift to humans. I have alot of experience with all types of dogs. I am a dog cuddler and really put a lot of love into this job. Dogs need lots of love and attention, especially when their parents are away. I don't work outside the home so my pet sitting is 100 percent attention, love and care. We do walks and play time and snuggle at night. I update pet parents daily with photos and how their little one is doing. I don't just board, I keep them busy, loved and cuddled. All dogs need individual attention. The senior dogs needs are different from younger ones. Being able to give them my individual attention is my strong point. I have a large condo. Perfect for small pets. I have enclosed porch so never a worry of them getting out. We have a park very close for walks and I sleep with them at night in bed. I have a structured schedule which keeps them happy and active when puppy parents are not there. I specialized in anxious ones. Warm blankets and a rocking chair go a long way. I'm all about your little ones comfort. I update my calendar daily so be assured that I will respond to all requests. My maximum lbs is 22.lbs. for boarding.but for house sitting no limit. My specialty is the little ones. My condo is great for that as it's very secure and cozy for them. I am also very convenitly located right off the freeway on the way to Denver Airport. Some animals are much more comfortable at home which is not a problem as I have plenty of experience with that also.

Shelly was great to take care of our animals even though she got sick. Unfortunately when I got back to my apartment it reeked of cigarettes. I discovered urine all over the floor and old pieces of poop. My puppy was not crated like instructed. I’m grateful my animals are all in one piece and happy Shelly stayed even though she was sick.

Shelly was a an amazing babysitter for my dog, Baxter! She put me immediately at ease when dropping him off at her house and welcomed him with open arms. I received daily updates and pictures and could tell he was well looked after and loved in my absence. The nightly massages and warm blankets were probably his favorite part, along with the trips to the duck pond. I would highly recommend Shelly to all and will definitely keep her at the top of my list for dog sitters in the future. Thank you again Shelly for keeping Baxter safe and loved while I was away!

Shelly was so enthusiastic about seeing Foxy and his Sister Sasha. She took care of our dogs during a working weekend. Thanks so much.

I only take small ones and max is 2 at a time. My little Lucas loves to play with the little ones. They have access to all in my home. I make it a puppy vacation for them too.

A typical day

We often have puppy parties where we all go to park together. The dogs love it. We do play time with toys daily and they are given tons of love and tummy rubs. They go home tired and happy.
