“Grace and her family and care are wonderful. We have never had to leave our dog with anyone so we were quite nervous on how it would go. Sadie had a great time and came back tired but very happy. Grace communicated with us daily (including pictures) so we missed our pup but felt very secure that she was doing well. Highly recommend and we will be back when we need someone for our girl”

About: Lifelong animal experience – I’ve cared for animals my entire life, not just as a job but as a way of life. • Real dog-owner perspective – With 2 dogs of my own, I understand routines, energy levels, training reinforcement, and emotional needs. • Calm, patient care – Great for shy, anxious, senior, or high-energy dogs who need consistency and understanding. • Individualized attention – I don’t do “one-size-fits-all” care. Walks, play, feeding, and downtime are tailored to your dog. • Trust & reliability – I show up on time, follow instructions closely, and communicate clearly so you can relax while you’re away. • Home-style love – Your dog is treated like family, not a booking. Hi! I’m Shelbie, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all personalities. I live in a peaceful rural area with plenty of space for play, walks, and safe adventures. Your furry friend will get the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away! Dog Boarding (In My Home – Female Dogs Only) For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I only board female dogs. My Australian Shepherd has a strong personality, and keeping our home harmonious means I cannot accept male dogs. Female pups are always welcome, and they’ll receive lots of love, playtime, and cuddles in a safe, home environment. I work full-time from 8–5, but I’m happy to stop by during my lunch break for local drop-ins to take your sweet guy or girl out for a potty break, walk, or some love. I’m available after 5 PM, all day on Wednesdays, and all weekends. I’m reliable, flexible, and always happy to work with your pet’s routine whenever possible. I care for pets with patience, consistency, and lots of love—whether in my home or yours. While I don’t have a yard yet, I live close to a dog park and provide plenty of walks, playtime, and mental stimulation to keep dogs happy and exercised. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, play, and downtime. Safety and comfort always come first, and I make sure pets get individual attention, affection, and enrichment. In your home, I respect your space while ensuring your pet feels secure and relaxed in their familiar environment. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

“Kay's home was perfect for Mabel. After spending a weekend at a nice dog hotel, we discovered Mabel thrives more with the home vibe and more personal human interaction. Kay provided a beautiful setting on acreage that's a mix of safety with space. I liked that there weren't multiple dogs other than their friendly golden retriever Brandi that Mabel became friends with. Kay kept us updated daily with words and pictures which I really appreciate. I highly recommend Kay and will definitely go back!”

About: We have grown up in pet households and taken care of pups our whole lives. We currently have two mini-goldendoodles (2 yrs & 6 months) they are basically our children! We know how important it is to us to find someone we trust, to care for them when we are out of town or unable. We want to be those people for you. Pets are family in our house. They are allowed on furniture, get lots of snuggles, and have a big fenced in yard to run around in. We both have a lot of flexibility in our work day. I am off by 2pm most days and we are both off on weekends. We have a young pup who needs to be let out at least every 4 hours. I grew up in a house with 4 other dogs, and now currently have two goldendoodles. Dogs have always been a big part of my life and always look to give them the love and attention they need.

About: My husband and I have fostered over 30 dogs in the past 4 years. I’ve been around and caring for dogs for over 20 years, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, including multiple dogs at once. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, medications, cleaning up after pets, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’ve also fostered dogs, so I understand how important patience, consistency, and making pets feel safe can be. I treat every pet like they’re my own and will keep you updated while you’re away! I work Monday through Thursday during the day with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available for pet care during the day, evenings, Fridays, and weekends. I’m also available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays depending on my schedule. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and give them plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard and a safe, welcoming home where pets can relax and feel comfortable. I have friendly dogs of my own who are used to other animals, but I’m also happy to keep pets separated if that makes them more comfortable. I’m comfortable with crates, feeding routines, walks, medications, and special instructions. I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated while they’re in my care.

About: I’m a lifelong cat lover with experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities. From playful kittens to sweet seniors, I understand that every cat has unique needs—and I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. If your cat needs medication, extra patience, or senior-specific care, I’ve got you covered. Need brushing to keep those coats smooth? Interactive playtime to burn energy or relieve boredom? Or just a calm presence and cozy companionship? I’m your girl. I treat every cat with respect, gentleness, and lots of love—because cats deserve care that feels safe, familiar, and stress-free.

About: I've had cats pretty much my whole life. For the longest time, I preferred them over dogs! However, I'm to the point in my life where I love both dogs and cats equally. 🥰 When I worked at Ames Pet Resort in Ames, IA, they offered lodging for cats so I took care of many different kitties. From mean, to anxious, to super lovey dovey ones! I've also given them their medicines, though needles are a little tough for me with cats... but I'm very willing to learn! I currently have my own house cat and she's my little baby. 🥰 She loves to snuggle with me right away in the morning and right before bed. I got her from a farm down in Iowa and it took her a few days to get used to me and my dog, but once she was used to us, she was following us around the apartment everywhere! And now that I live in a house, she has a whole house to explore and a new kitty to play with! After I got Athena, I got her spayed and updated on her shots. She didn't like taking her medicine, but she let me do it anyway, which I was super thankful for at the time since I worked a lot at the time. I love to play with her whenever I get the chance, and my dog often joins us in play time. ❤️

About: Animals have always been apart of my life growing up my parents bred English mastiff and pugs. I showed dogs in 4-H for 4 years and it really helped me amass so much knowledge. I have extensive experience with senior dogs and they hold a very special place in my heart. With us your senior will be in the best of hands. I don’t have a regular 9-5 so most of my day is spent home with the pups. I have my dogs on a specific feeding/potty schedule but I am very flexible to make your pup feel as comfortable as possible. I like to think I treat them as one of my one while keeping in mind if the owner has and rules or requests of their own.

About: I adore all animals (especially dogs!) and take pride in prioritizing your pet’s safety and comfort. Over the years, I've had the privilege of caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, birds, and fish! I'm committed to providing the same level of love and care for others that I provide for my own pet, a wonderfully wiggly cocker spaniel. I have professional experience training my spaniel on wildlife detection work, and I understand the needs of high energy breeds. I received two degrees from the University of Nebraska; a Bachelor of Science in Fisheries and Wildlife, and a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish. Two of my favorite activities include spending time outside, and giving lots of love to animals. I am currently working to build on my existing client base and have lots of time to play, walk, or keep your pet company. Have any questions? Ask away! I can accommodate your preferences- whether that's providing company, playing, exercising, or doing some scent work exercises to work your pooch's brain! The safety of your pet is my number one priority. On walks, I practice situational awareness and always keep an eye out for off-leash dogs or other potential hazards.

While I don’t have a yard yet, I live close to a dog park and provide plenty of walks, playtime, and mental stimulation to keep dogs happy and exercised. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, play, and downtime. Safety and comfort always come first, and I make sure pets get individual attention, affection, and enrichment. In your home, I respect your space while ensuring your pet feels secure and relaxed in their familiar environment. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

“Nick was a great sitter for Wilson! There was extensive communication ahead of the boarding to confirm he understood Wilson’s care instructions, and regular updates throughout his stay. I would leave Wilson with Nick again without hesitation.”

“Kay's home was perfect for Mabel. After spending a weekend at a nice dog hotel, we discovered Mabel thrives more with the home vibe and more personal human interaction. Kay provided a beautiful setting on acreage that's a mix of safety with space. I liked that there weren't multiple dogs other than their friendly golden retriever Brandi that Mabel became friends with. Kay kept us updated daily with words and pictures which I really appreciate. I highly recommend Kay and will definitely go back!”

“Very very happy to find Chad. He has a convenient location. I think our Golden was the luckiest dog being with Chad. It’s obvious how much he loves dogs. I could rest assured our Ginger was happy.”

About: I've had dogs in the house since I was a little girl! My boys really love dogs and have just as much energy! I want your pet to leave happy and ready to come back again! I am available on weekends, I am available on week days in the evening also. I just need to know your pets routine and can adjust as needed. I have plenty of space to walk your pet outside and can take them out as many times as needed. Our Rex sleeps with the kiddos and a wonderful snuggler and we love all this kisses and anuggles.
