Pet Boarding Shady Side

“We had a wonderful experience with Mary. My dog struggles with separation anxiety, so leaving her can be stressful, but she was in incredibly capable and compassionate hands. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she boards and takes the time to understand their individual needs. She was patient, attentive, and proactive in making sure my dog felt comfortable and secure. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious my dog was being well cared for. When I picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly had been treated with kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Antavia was fantastic! She took amazing care of our dog, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”

Dan C.

“As always, Lynette & Vincent takes care of my fur baby with the highest regards and he enjoys it so much when he is there every time. They keep me informed the whole time while I was gone on Kuume's status which made me feel so relived to know that he is doing well and having a great time.”

Clarissa M.

“Shelby and her husband Brad are fantastic dog sitters! Ollie was very well cared for, and we received plenty of photos and updates throughout his stay. He had a great time playing with their sweet pup, and they even gave him a bath (no easy feat!), so he came home both happy, exhausted, and clean!”

Jaime P.

“Tiffany was very responsive when something was not right with one of our dogs during the boarding and went above and beyond trying to help. Her responsiveness allowed us to address the situation promptly.”

Noelle V.

“Lindsay took such great care of my pup, Marley, over the holidays! She went above and beyond getting Marley a toy (her new favorite) for Christmas, making adorable ornaments, replacing a sweater that got damaged, and sending daily picture and video updates. In every photo, Marley looked so happy and well entertained, and it gave me complete peace of mind knowing she was truly loved and treated like family. I’m so grateful for the care, thoughtfulness, and communication, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can fully trust!”

Lindsey E.

“We were pleased that Alicia was able to accommodate us in very short notice. Our dog Eli, although rambunctious, really made himself at home in her home. We enjoyed our updates through pictures and videos throughout his stay. Thanks for everything!”

Brandon F.

“Megan did an amazing job taking care of our dog for the week! She sent daily updates and gave him lots of love. We are so glad we found Megan and look forward to booking with her again!”

About: I’ve always had a house full of animals growing up, from dogs and cats to reptiles and even bunnies! 🐶🐱🐰🦎 Not having pets around after moving out was definitely something to get used to. I’m so excited to be on this app because caring for animals genuinely makes me happy, and I can’t wait to meet and spoil your furry family members like they’re my own! 💖 I currently work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend plenty of time caring for animals. I’m open to different schedules and stay lengths!! Animals have always been a big part of my life, so I care for every pet like they’re my own! 🐾 I make sure they receive lots of love, attention, playtime, and care while keeping up with their normal routines. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them at home, I want every pet to feel safe, happy, and loved.

About: I have had breeds of all shapes and sized my entire life. I care for my 2 year old border collie and I have experience handling cats as well. I want to make your pets feel at home even when you are away. I would want the best from my boy when I am away, so I want to provide that service to others! I am full-time employee so I can stop in before and after work on weekdays, and I am free weekends for endless playing ! (I can stay in the evening during the week until around 8-9) I am very respectful of other people’s spaces and would be happy to meet your animal where they are! I do NOT offer boarding currently.

About: I have many years of hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve worked in animal shelters and have been working at Beechnut Kennels for the past 3 years, caring for pets daily through feeding, exercise, playgroups, cleaning, and monitoring their health and behavior. I also foster cats and kittens and have experience with shy, fearful, reactive, and feral animals. I’m comfortable administering medications and using Fear Free handling techniques to keep pets as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I truly love animals and treat every pet in my care like they’re my own! I currently work part-time at Beechnut Kennels, which gives me flexibility to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I offer drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. I understand the importance of consistency and will always keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With years of experience working in shelters and at Beechnut Kennels, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. I have experience using Fear Free handling techniques, administering oral medications, and caring for shy, fearful, and senior pets. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and instructions closely to help them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates and pictures during every visit.

“I am always hesitant to leave my dog with anyone, but Marta made me feel so comfortable and I knew Hibana would be in great hands! I knew from the moment we did a meet & greet before we officially did the booking. Helped me get to know her and her own two dogs and it was great! Hibana has the best 5 days there :) and I got pictures every day which made me feel better about leaving my dog lol. Hibana is an apartment dog so she was in love with Marta’s back yard. And since this is Marta’s full time job her attention was on the dogs all the time. Would 100% recommend. If I could give her 10 stars I would lol.”

“Bianca was awesome with Harley. He stayed with her for a last minute trip. This was his first time boarding so she was gret with all of my ckncerbs and kept me post in how he was doing.”

Claudia H.

“Chris was wonderful with my Labradoodle, Rambo! He made him feel right at home and kept him happy and playful the whole time. I could tell he was well cared for and loved. I’ll definitely book with Chris again!”

Adanech T.

“Trey and Melissa treated Abby like their own dog! They had great communication throughout the process and sent pictures and videos while we were away. We definitely recommended them!”

Kate D.

“Sabrina was a lifesaver! We booked to board with someone else and they canceled at the last minute. Sabrina was able to help us out. My pups LOVED her (8 year old golden doodle, and 2 year old mini poodle). We’ve found our new favorite pet sitter and we’ll be booking with her from now on.”

Folami Y.

“As usual, this is like Summer's 2nd home. She is so comfortable and relaxed with Yukia. This makes it so much easier to have her as my dogsitter.”

Richard W.

“Hello this was my first time boarding my pup Tyson and when I say it was an excellent experience from beginning to finish. Crystal S. sent me pictures and updates on his stay and the pictures was amazing just and relaxing laid out on her mats. She has everything you puppy will need and that put you at ease. I will be booking again. I love the quality work and love she expressed to my pup pup! Till the next time. Continue the excellent service you provide.”

About: Hi there! My name is Stacia and I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I am a dog owner too! Remi is a 2 years old, playful, dark yellow lab. He is fixed. I’m familiar with ensuring the environment is right for your dog. I previously owned a dog with high anxiety and wasn’t friendly with strangers. I understand the importance of making sure your guidelines for your pet are followed. I can give oral medications, follow your training rules, walk large dogs, handle dogs that aren’t friendly with strangers, high anxiety, and have disabilities (ex. Deaf, blind). These dogs are our best friends so I promise to take great care of yours :) If you have any additional questions for me, please don’t hesitate to ask. I am happy to chat or meet prior to booking to ensure I am a good fit for your pup! I believe in open communication to ensure the safety of you, your pet, me and mine. I work fully remote and am able to support daycare and boarding. I usually walk my dog morning, mid day and evening for 30 min to an hour at a time. I’d like to be able to support other people who need assistance. During the week your dog won’t be left alone for more than an hour depending on drop off and pick up time. During the weekend your dog won’t be left longer than 3-4 hours depending. We can always communicate your dogs specific needs to accommodate! I have a fenced yard in our home and a friendly, playful 2 year old male lab (fixed). If your dog is in my home, they do need to be friendly with other dogs. This is to ensure the safety of my dog and if I am boarding or hosting daycare for another dog. During the week I do work full time so there are times where I am in meetings so it is preferred your dog is not destructive, okay without supervision, or is okay in a crate or enclosed room. I communicate my anticipated work schedule and plan for the day with the pet owner.

“Laura was awesome! Chacco had a blast during his weekend sleepover and loved hanging out with the other pups. She took great care of him, and I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. He came home happy and tired—always a good sign! Definitely booking with her again.”
