Information Shelly S. would like to know about your pet

I prefer medium to smaller breeds. I would like to know their temperament and their likes and dislikes before the stay so that everyone is more comfortable.

A typical day

Lots of walks around property and playtime in the backyard. I have a toy basket that many of the dogs enjoy. Some just to prefer sitting on the porch with me relaxing.

Dog mom will care for fur babies

Pet care experience

I am retired and have plenty of time to help care for your fur babies. My husband Roger and I have a large fenced in backyard and lots of space inside for pets to run and play. l cared for a pet for two years that needed daily insulin shots. I have a Shih Tzu named Oreo. He is 9 years old and loves to play with other dogs. I can provide current vaccinations and flea meds paperwork, and would expect the same from you. I am comfortable with pets on furniture or in one of the many dog beds throughout the house. I love dogs and have spent many hours walking dogs at my local animal shelter. I would be happy to send video and pictures of your babies while you are away. I am retired and usually home most of the day. I have plenty of time for walks or just cuddling up on the couch with my dog friends. I have a very large private yard. The backyard is fenced in so I can sit and watch the dogs play and explore. I often still do walks around the property.

Shelley (and her husband) were excellent with my little Molly. Molly is with us most of the time when we travel so she was missing us a little.. which is to be expected. She was extremely well taken care of and would not hesitate to have Shelley dog sit Molly again. I definitely recommend her!!!

Shelly was great with Leo. Her home is definitely set up for dog visitors. Leo plays well with Oreo also. I would not hesitate to leave Leo with Shelly again.
