Pet care experience

Loving every pet as my own! 💗🐶

😊 I’M BACK!! 😊 I’ve had many different pets from dogs, hamsters, birds, fishes even rabbits growing up! I’ve always been told I’m a complete animal lover, they always have a special spot in my heart. Treat them as one of my babies, never less. If I could have all the dogs in the world I would! ☺️ I love being able to experience all these breeds, it is amazing meeting all these different personalities.🥰 BONUS: I aswell have my husband who helps out with the pups so you’ll not only have me watching over them, my husband will be there to care for them too! 🥰 -THING TO KNOW: *If you are wanting me to just care for your dog and no other during a stay it will be an additional $15 a day added to my original price. Just let me know and we can talk about it. *I like to take pictures of any pet that stays with me, so you can expect at least 1 picture a day! ☺️ *Is your dog allowed to have peanut butter/any dog treat? *When I get booked I get BOOKED, so please try to book as soon as possible and confirm it. I hate having to say no and turn people away. 😕 *Tips are always greatly appreciated since I use them towards buying treats & doggy toys/dog accessories for their current/future stays. 🐶 Thank you! 🐶 I’m a stay at home mom. So I’m here all day everyday to take care of your pups. I can take them out for potty breaks as needed, walks and feed them on their feeding schedule as well. If I have to step away to run an errand I have indoor cameras to keep an eye on them while I am gone and that's also when they're put into their crates. I live in an apartment. There is also a dog park right next to my building to take them out to play at. I allow dogs on furniture even on the bed for cuddles. ❤️ I also have 3 kids ages 7,11 & and infant. I have 2 female Australian Cattle Dogs, ages 6 and 5 years. They’re not spaded! They’re crate trained as well. If you’d want me to keep them separate from yours I can do that no problem. I like to keep my eyes on them inside and outside while they play. A reason I ask for their crates is for them to have during feeding time to prevent any problems and for my dogs, other pets, my family and my safety. Also for when I have to step away so nothing happens between pets and to prevent them trying to eat non edible items. Any questions or requests I’m opened! Feel free to message me anytime.

Shelly and her husband were friendly and took great care of our Luna! I received updates and pictures during her stay. Would recommend her to take care of your fur babies!

Safety, trust & environment

I only watch pets that are crate trained for times I do have to step away, feeding and bed time. Not only is their happiness is my only priority but so is their safety and my families. I usually like to know of the schedules clients have their pets on or like to find out what they like to keep the pets as comfortable as possible! I love to give treat and have toys for them to play with. 🥰

Pets

A typical day

I love dumping out our bag of dog toys in the living room and just let them have a great time! It's so cute seeing them go crazy over choosing which toy to play with. I even have some puzzles to help stimulate your pets. We have a dog park right by our building which gives them some more space to run free with some obstacles! I even have toys for outdoor play especially a squeaky ball to play fetch in the dog park!
