Dog Boarding Shady Cove

About: I have had dogs my whole life and each one has had a huge piece of my heart. I will treat your dog like they are a part of my family while they are in my care. I am home most of the time. I typically feed around 7:00 am and 5:30 pm, and this can be adjusted to meet your dogs needs. I do have crates if needed. I also have a large size doggie door that leads into a fenced back yard. I close up the house by 9:00pm after we have had the last potty break for the night. I have a cat, so your dog must be cat friendly. I also have a large male dog that is sweet and gets along with other dogs. Dogs are allowed on my furniture. They can either sleep in a crate, or sleep on their own bed, in my bedroom with me and my dog. I offer a daily walk in my neighborhood, weather permitting. Your dog will be the only dog I host. I only host one family at a time so that I can give your dog and my dog the best experience. Your furry family member will feel happy, safe and secure in my home. I encourage meet and greats, so please contact me to schedule.😊

About: If there's one thing you should know about us, it's that we absolutely LOVE dogs! My husband and I have had dogs in our lives for as long as we can remember, and our home has always been filled with wagging tails, puppy kisses, and lots of love! Now that our kids are grown and out of the house, we're enjoying a little more freedom to travel and have decided to take a little break from having dogs of our own. But we sure do miss having them around! That's what made us think Rover would be such a perfect fit! We get to enjoy having dogs in our home again while giving your pups a fun, loving place to stay while you're away. And trust us, there's no shortage of love and attention around here! ❤️ As longtime dog parents, we know firsthand how hard it can be to leave your furry family member with someone else. We want you to be able to relax and enjoy your time away knowing your pup is safe, happy, and being loved and cared for just like one of our own. Here's what your pup can look forward to at our house! 🐶 🏡 A cozy, clean, dog-friendly home where they'll be treated like family. 🌳 A fully fenced, secure backyard with plenty of room to explore, play, or just enjoy some sunshine. 🛋️ Couch cuddles are always welcome! Dogs are part of the family around here, and they're more than welcome to curl up on the furniture with us. ❤️ Lots of love and attention! Belly rubs, snuggles, playtime, and plenty of affection. 💊 Experienced and attentive care. We're comfortable giving medications and caring for pups who may need a little extra TLC. 📸 Pictures and updates! We know how much you'll miss your pup, so we're happy to keep you updated on all the fun they're having. Every dog has their own personality, and that's part of what makes them so special! Whether your pup loves to run and play, follow us around the house, or spend the afternoon curled up on the couch, we want them to feel completely comfortable and right at home. Our goal is simple: We want your dog to love staying with us just as much as we'll love having them! We may not be ready for another dog of our own just yet, but we have so much love to give in the meantime. We'd be thrilled to welcome your furry family member into our home, give them lots of attention, and make sure they feel loved while you're away. We can't wait to meet your pup, spoil them a little (okay, probably a lot!), and become their favorite home away from home! 🐾❤️ When your pup is staying with us, they’ll rarely be alone! We love having them around and they’ll typically be right alongside us throughout the day. If your pup enjoys going “bye-bye,” and with your permission, we’re happy to bring them along when we can. My office is also dog-friendly, so they can come to work with me and keep me company if the owner allows. For walks and drop-in visits, my schedule is very flexible, which makes it easy for me to work around your pet’s routine and what works best for you. We know how much your pup means to you and how hard it can be to leave them in someone else’s care. We want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re not only being cared for, but genuinely loved while you’re away. Our hope is that they’re excited to come stay with us — and you can leave knowing they’re in a home where they’ll be treated like part of the family. ❤️🐾 We want your pup to feel safe, comfortable and completely at home while they’re with us. ❤️ We have a fully fenced, secure backyard with plenty of room to explore, play and enjoy some fresh air. We’re very active people, so with your approval, we’re always happy to take your pup along for walks, trips to the park, or other little adventures. Of course, we’ll always follow your normal routine and any instructions you provide because we know every dog is different! Most importantly, we know how much trust it takes to leave your pup in someone else’s care. We love sending photos and videos throughout their stay so you can see what they’re up to, how they’re settling in, and most importantly, that they’re happy and having fun. 🐾 Whether we’re caring for your pup in our home or yours, we’ll treat them, your home, and their routine with the same care and respect we would want for our own. Our goal is for you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pup is safe, loved, and getting plenty of attention and snuggles!

“Julianne and Ragen were great! They sent pictures and kept us updated while our dog stayed with them. Super grateful they took such great care of our girl!”

Cassandra T.

“Super sweet people and dogs. They have a nice fenced in space and a doggy door! I got several updates with pictures, even with a family emergency, of my boy playing and having a good time. I felt great about leaving my dog with them! I would absolutely recommend and use them again in the future!”

Brandy H.

“Herschel had a great stay with Susan! She was easy to make plans with and asked lots of questions about his care before his stay. I could tell she really wanted to make sure he was well taken care of. Her home has a safe outdoor area that he can run around in. He can be a handful but she did a great job with him!”

Lisa H.

“Shari is a great pet sitter. My Tio is older and sensitive and is sometimes stressed after being with a pet sitter. Tio was in excellent shape, not stressed at all. Will definitely be using Shari again in the future and recommend her to anyone. She is experienced and calm.”

“Rosie had a great time at Gordan's place and hung out with the other dogs and her new "humans" during her seven-day stay. Gordan provided a few well appreciated photos of her as well.”

Robert E.

“Thanks for caring for Ruffles while we were away. I know she enjoyed your beautiful yard, and having Daphne for company. Getting a photo every day was very reassuring, especially seeing her sleeping at your feet! We look forward to staying with you in the future!”

“Suzanne and Brian were absolutely wonderful with my two dogs! They went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. They bathed them, trimmed their nails, played with them, cuddled with them, and even let them sleep on their bed. They also sent me regular pictures and updates throughout their stay, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel like I knew how my babies were doing while I was away. It was so clear that they treated my dogs with so much genuine care, love, and affection. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I would be so happy to have them care for my dogs again. I highly recommend them! ❤️”

About: My background in animal care extends well beyond traditional pet sitting. I completed extensive veterinary technology education while working full-time in a large, multi-department veterinary hospital, gaining years of hands-on experience with animals ranging from healthy puppies and routine-care patients to senior, hospitalized, post-op, and medically complex dogs. My subsequent transition into “human” healthcare has further strengthened the attention to detail and standard of care that I bring to every animal entrusted to me. My veterinary experience provided a comprehensive foundation in safe animal handling, canine behavior/temperament recognition, medication administration, medical-condition awareness, post-op care, and the identification of subtle changes that may indicate pain, anxiety, or physical distress. I am comfortable recognizing changes in behavior and overall presentation that may warrant closer observation or communication with a pet-parent. I am comfortable caring for dogs across all ages, sizes, and levels of need, including puppies, senior dogs, animals requiring additional behavioral consideration, and pets with established medical or mobility needs. My experience includes oral and injectable medication administration, incision and wound care, mobility assistance, post-operative monitoring, and incontinence-related care. Whether providing a walk, drop-in visit, extended sitting, or boarding, I approach pet care with the same principles that have guided my professional healthcare experience: attentive observation, appropriate precautions, consistency, clear communication, and respect for individualized care requirements. My goal is not simply to supervise a pet while an owner is away, but to provide knowledgeable, responsible care while maintaining the routine, safety, and level of attention each individual animal requires. I recently completed my Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Care and am currently preparing for my board examinations, which allows me a highly flexible schedule and the ability to be home much of the time. At present, I have considerable availability for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and other pet-care needs, and I am able to adjust my study schedule around confirmed bookings. Once I begin working in the hospital, my anticipated schedule will consist of three scheduled shifts per week, leaving the remaining four days largely open and predictable for pet care. I do not have children or other routinely changing obligations that would interfere with confirmed bookings. Any known limitations to my availability will always be communicated in advance, and with clear communication regarding your pet’s schedule and needs, I am currently able to accommodate a wide range of scheduling requests. Safety and attentive supervision are priorities in our home. Between my husband and me, our dogs are never left home without one of us present, and I maintain that same standard of supervision for pets entrusted to my care. I would not leave a pet unattended while I am responsible for their care. We have a fully fenced backyard and maintain a clean, organized, and uncluttered home and outdoor environment. With a five-month-old puppy of our own, our home is consistently kept pet-safe, with unsafe or inappropriate items secured and inaccessible. I am also careful and deliberate when managing interactions between animals and never assume unfamiliar dogs can simply be left together unsupervised. Introductions, outdoor access, feeding, and shared spaces are appropriately supervised, with the safety and comfort of each individual pet remaining the priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain the same standard of supervision, respect for their environment, and attention to safety.

About: Have always had dogs of my own until recently, and before adding a new member to the family we’d love to help out with yours! Available on the weekends beginning Friday and if your animal can be crated- weekdays are possible as well. Also open to holidays with enough notice I have a fenced backyard and live in a calm neighborhood with minimal traffic but plenty of walking trails to keep your pet active, have 2 children in the home who love animals too!

“Allyse is amazing. I haven't left my dog's before except one time. One of my dog's has anxiety pretty bad. She sent pictures of my pups resting with her on the couch, she didn't have to give his anxiety meds. Either. Just knowing they were in good hands allowed me to have a good time. She is awesome!”

“Took Ludo on walks and seems like he had a great time! Sent photos and updates and had great communication. A+ sitter!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner from a young age. I currently have a cat. I have experience with senior dogs and outside dogs, big dogs and little dogs. Love them all! I’m free every weekday evening and can make time on the weekends. I also work from home so if I stay over with your furry friend, I am available to them at all times! I am always very mindful of my surroundings to make sure pets are always safe. I have lots of experience with pet sitting and taking care of pets in general. I also have experience with senior and special needs pups so I can help with any situation!

“Daniel made the whole experience so easy and pleasant even though our dog is more anxious than we realized. Great and quick communication. Would highly recommend Daniel!”
