Pet Boarding Shady Side

“Lucy and Daniel took great care of our anxious girl Remmie - including during an unusual March thunderstorm! She came home happy and relaxed.”

Tim W.

“Great care, flexibility, and plenty of photo updates. Megan took care of my 3 sweet baby angels (cats) for the better part of a week. She did provide some flexibility with my atypical schedule as I was between houses. I’ve since moved out of the area, but I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again.”

Jade F.

“My two dogs where well taken care of, I couldn't have asked for a better provider and care. She provided updates and pictures, and communicated with me everyday. I would definitely recommend and use her again.”

Rickey H.

“Alejandro and his husband were very communicative and Niko looked to be having the time or his life. I Would absolutely recommend their services.”

About: I am a dog handler for work and have been doing this job for 3 years now. I grew up with big dogs and cats my whole life, and have so much love and compassion for all animals. I am currently working full time with a monthly schedule change. 1st month I will work from 4am-5 pm. 2nd month I will work 8am-5pm. And my 3rd month I will work 4pm- 5am shift. I will sometimes have to leave the local area for work but will be notified in advance! My schedule can seem kinda crazy but I love to work! I currently live in an apartment and won’t be able to do any pet care in my home, but I have no problem with traveling to your home to let your fur babies out for walks, play time, feed and whatever else they need!

About: I have owned dogs my whole life, and know how to take care of them. I also have experience with cats, I have helped my grandfather with a stray cat that chose him! I'm openly available, as of today. I like to volunteer, but that usually only takes about 4 or 5 hours. I will give your pet the time it needs. You make sure that they have plenty of fresh water, eat on time, and walk them every day when the sun is not too hot, eg in the morning or evening.

About: I’ve been a dog owner and caring for dogs for years, and I genuinely enjoy having them as part of my everyday life. I currently have dogs of my own, so feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and making sure everyone is comfortable and cared for are already part of my normal routine. I offer dog boarding, doggy daycare, walks, and drop-in visits. Depending on your dog’s needs and energy level, their time with me can include walks, supervised outdoor play, exercise, bathroom breaks, enrichment, or simply relaxing and getting plenty of attention. I have a fully fenced yard that gives dogs room to safely get outside and play throughout the day. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I understand that every dog has its own routine, so I take the time to learn about feeding schedules, medications, crate preferences, sleeping arrangements, behaviors, triggers, and anything else that helps your dog feel comfortable. Since I have dogs of my own, introductions with visiting dogs are handled carefully and interactions are supervised. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive care throughout the week, including boarding and daycare. When a dog is staying with me, they aren’t just being left somewhere while their family is away. I make time for interaction, exercise, outdoor breaks, and rest throughout the day while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. I’ll treat your dog the way I’d want someone to treat mine—with patience, attention, affection, and respect for the instructions you provide. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you can see how your dog is doing and enjoy your time away without wondering whether they’re okay. Pet care already fits naturally into my daily routine because I have dogs of my own. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. I’m active and enjoy getting dogs outside for walks and playtime, while also making sure they have plenty of time to relax. I can follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routine as closely as possible so being away from home feels comfortable and familiar. Safety is my priority whenever someone trusts me with their dog. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside for supervised play, exercise, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. I also have dogs of my own, so introductions with visiting dogs are always handled carefully and supervised. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, triggers, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. I’ll follow your preferences for walks, crates, medications, sleeping arrangements, and interaction with other pets. You’ll also receive regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and being treated like part of the family.

“Danielle was an excellent sitter for my dog Memphis. She communicated with me daily about his stay and sent me pictures. I could tell that he was comfortable with her and I definitely felt at ease with him being in her care. I would definitely recommend her services and I will be booking with her in the future.”

Scott H.

“Michelle was fantastic with our pup! He had so much fun playing with her sweet dog and friends, and she sent us pictures throughout his stay so we could see how happy he was! She was great at arranging pickup and drop off, to make sure it worked with our schedule too. Will definitely be rebooking when we need.”

Stephanie L.

“This is the second time Nicholas has watched my old man and the updates are frequent and ny dog loves his time there. Was excited as soon as we pulled up to the house and he didn’t wanna leave when I went to pick him up. Again 10/10.”

“Janice and Stalio took amazing care of our dog Charlie! Couldn’t be happier with the experience and they were exceptionally understanding when our return flight was cancelled due to the winter storm and we were delayed coming home. Would highly recommend.”

Steve B.

“Marla was great! Bella seemed very happy when I picked her up, and I could tell Bella liked Marla and her chihuahua right away during drop off. Booking again!”
