Pet care experience

Your Dogs/Cats New Best Friend!

Hi! I’m Shelly 👋🏼 I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and truly can’t imagine it any other way. I grew up with four dogs at home, along with birds, fish, and even a few lizards. So caring for pets of all kinds just comes naturally to me. 🐾 I have experience with dogs from playful puppies to sweet seniors, and I make sure every pet gets the love and attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your fur baby like my own.

Doggy Day Care • May 29, 2026

Shelly watched our dog for a few hours on relatively short notice so that we could go to a Pirates game. She was flexible with drop off, and walked the dog a couple of times in a few hours, which was just what the dog needed after 8 hours in the car. She also took the dog to the local dog park without issue. $72 was a little pricey for 4 hours of daycare, and we didn't get pictures like we expected (I see some were taken, so maybe it was an app issue), but all in all it was basically just what we needed and we're grateful!

Shelly was amazing with Monte this weekend and was so flexible with the schedule. Very responsive, and kept me updated each day and how things were going.

We are so thankful for Shelly’s help this weekend! She was communicative and flexible with pick up and drop off times. She gave our dog all the exercise and love he needs while we were away! Poe was in great hands with Shelly and we look forward to using her as our dog sitter in the future. ☺️

Luna loves Shelly! She’s always on time to check in and takes time with Luna to make certain she’s eaten and had some good belly rubs and a happy visit. Thank you Shelly for your care for my girl and your professionalism.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and secure environment. I follow any specific routines or instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, crate training, medication, and exercise needs.

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about keeping your pet happy. Depending on their energy level and personality, we might go on neighborhood walks, play fetch, have a little training time, or just hang out and cuddle. I love keeping pets mentally and physically stimulated, whether that’s with toys, treats, or simply giving them lots of attention and affection. If your dog enjoys outdoor adventure, we’ll spend time exploring and getting fresh air. If they’re more of a couch snuggler, I’m happy to curl up and keep them company. I follow your routine closely so your pet feels comfortable and at ease while you’re away.
