Hi there! My name is Shelly. My husband and I live on a 5 acre farmette down a quiet, private road just moments from US 58 in Suffolk, VA. We moved out to the country to experience the joys of our pets having more freedom. Our dogs live inside with us, but we keep them separated during our guests’ stay. We have a separate bedroom with private access to a fenced in grassy area just for our guests. During the day, your pups will get lots of time to wander the farm and stretch their legs in our hay field while under my supervision. For the past 25 years, my career has been caring for children as a professional nanny, including the four-legged kids! In 2016, I founded Suffolk 4-H’s Dog Club to teach safety and responsibilities of dog ownership to children. I volunteer and have fostered for several local rescue groups, assisted in handling friend’s dogs during shows, and have earned several rally titles with my youngest. Needless to say that dogs are huge part of my life! My friends and family have always remarked on how much their dogs enjoyed their time with us that we have decided to open our home to more guests. My main focus is safety and comfort for your pups while in my care. It’s important to me that your dog is cared for like it would be as if you were caring for it yourself. I am detail oriented and happy to work with any instructions that would make you more comfortable.
