Mochi wishing a happy mother's day to all our dog moms out there! Mochi is spending the day with us while his momma gets to go visit her "actual" son in menlo park , Don't worry mochi you're probably way cuter than your sibling anyways. Today we are experimenting with exposing mochi to the way we handle dogs in our care - all dogs react differently when they're first brought to us for doggy day care but luckily I was able to reserve this day for him to make sure it helps mochi with returning for his next possible stay with us. Shiba Inu's can be very particular with their company and can be quite characteristic but we are not breedist here and are willing to work with all breeds‼️

good boys are good boys no matter shape or color 💕

What plans do you have for mother's day? Remember a dog is a great gift for a mom who asks for nothing... because secretly you know she wants that third dog. 🐕🐩🐶

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL MOTHERS , fur or skin it's all a win.🥰 🤱🏻🤱🏼🤱🏽🐾

Do svidaniya , sushka 🥹
At the beginning of this month I got to spend some time with this cute potato b***y in Moraga, we got to keep sushka safe at home were she can zoom around her house , lounge on her favorite bags of beans 😄 and close to her favorite little off leash park where her regular dog friends and her got to play while I was interrogated by the owners of the neighborhood asking why I had their beloved celebrity sushka. Definitely a great ice breaker 😅 and a great way to meet some new pawrents of the area

Thank you again to Sushka's mom Melinda for entrusting her beloved baby in our care while her and her husband got to go see their son graduate college. I miss her so much already and can't wait to see her again for our next adventure!

These past few days I've been staying with Betty and Maizey in Martinez soaking up some sun and rubbing tum-tums. These two lovable little girls were able to stay safe at home during their pawrents trip to Mexico! Which is great because they are definitely homebodies with a side of couch potato.
Betty and Maizey are both easy as easy comes , sometimes we have to make sure Maizey isn't hogging all the attention and say "It's Betty's turn!" But I guess it's a good thing us humans have two hands 💕

I'm looking forward to our next sleepover girls! 🥺 I'm sure going to miss you until then!

Thankyou to Betty and Maizeys mom (Donna) & Family for entrusting their care in our hands!

SPRING BREAK was insane , some of us spent our time working , some sunbathing but Higgins, Harley and Harper's family did it all! Exploring Arizona in the search for a perfect College , caught some sunshine and hopefully had a great time all around! While they were away I visited this trio 3x daily to ensure all their needs were fulfilled! Higgins and Harley got to play in their yard together with all their toys and also got to enjoy cuddle time while Harper got to watch her TV , yes this girl watches TV and it's so cute. It was super fun to keep these furkids entertained, Harley even taught me a few new dance moves 🪩💃.
Scroll to see some wet dogs when we got caught outside on a walk in the rain and hail 😂 - poor lil Harper
Thankyou for entrusting your babies in my care! I hope I can see these crazies again when you need me next time!

Goodbye Goblin Girl 🥹😍 Yesterday after watching the partial Solar Eclipse, Albie went home after spending 8 days with us in our care at our home for a boarding stay while her Mom's went off and got Married! 💒 Although I'm sure this sweet girl would of made the best maid of honor , it was my honor to help these two get away and keep their little girl safe and happy until their return!
Albie enjoys a good place to nap , preferably under the covers with someone, she's spunky , loves to run and made so many friends during her stay here! I hope I get to see Albie again one day! Thankyou for entrusting your baby in our care! And I hope you're enjoying bliss in paradise! Cheers to the brides!💕 🥂 wishing you many years of happiness!

Hooray Hooray the 🌞 is here and spring is near! 🌷❇️ Despite my March having a midway slump due to my Emergency Room Visit, it was still filled with plenty of madness! (In a good way) Thank you to those who let me have the time I needed to recuperate so I could get back to work ASAP. You all have no idea how much I missed walking my pups and getting out in our shared open spaces and adventure 💕 I'm looking forward to a new fun filled month with my furry friends!

Please enjoy some of my favorite photos from this month ✨🐾
Which is your favorite?

Thankful for cancelations? Luckily for Hurley (Black Lab male ) and Penny (Chocolate Lab Female) their mom contacted us awhile ago inquiring about days in January , after learning that the dates she had in mind had already been reserved by someone else , she decided to put her name down for first dibs on them in-case the current holder would possibly cancel. Well as it turns out , the dates were meant to be theirs! As soon as I confirmed the client was cancelling I reached out to Emily and offered her in-home PetCare services for the Inquired dates and she happily accepted and I couldn't be more thrilled!

Penny is a crazy labby lady. She loves her snacks , her ball and my snacks as well. She is always waiting for an opportunity to snag a nibble.

Hurley is a Cuddly gentleman who loves to sniff and snuggle 🥰.

Thankyou for reaching out , waiting and confirming! We hope you had a great vaycay with your husband and son! They sure missed you while you were gone! ❤️ I am blessed to have met these sweet peas and would love to see them again if you ever need petcare!

New year , same goals!
To maintain your pets health and happiness in your absence!Thank you all for an amazing 2023! It was by far the most amazing year of my life. I can finally see how far I have come and would like to thank all of those who have helped support me in some way shape or form to help me achieve what I have in this past year! Without you all, I wouldn't be nearly as happy as I am today. -Shelby 🐾

Please read below or skim through the posted photos for information about 2024 scheduling and FAQs.

Payment options; cash or check

• A cancelation policy will now be enforced this year due to the rising number of last minute cancellations. Please understand, while I may miss my furry friend if you cancel but a family could miss out on a experience, a loved one could miss out on saying goodbye and all because you put canceling off until the last minute. It costs me time/money and inconveniences others...

➡️ 14 - 30 days before 25%
➡️ 10 days or less 50%

To help discourage cancellations we have made the decision to not allow immediately new clients to reserve dates up to 1 year in advance and IF we make an exception a 50% deposit is required.

Last note on cancellations ; if you cancel and don't pay the fee within 1 - 3 days , you will be immediately black listed & if you cancel 3 times consecutively (even with paying the cancellation fee) ✨ politely ✨ you will probably not have much luck with making a reservation with us again. 🙂

🗓️ 🖊️ VIP clients will have first come first serve for Holiday dates. Please watch out on my story for any news or information on holiday availability.

BOARDING? Overnight dog boarding in my home is always available UNLESS I am at another clients home, if you are wondering about availability, DM us 📬.

Last but not least ‼️
PLEASE KEEP THESE DATES IN MIND THIS YEAR,
Forever the pet sitter , never the traveler? NO MORE!

November is gone and December is here! It's getting close to the end of the year 🦃 🎄 🎆 My friend Honey has gone home after her ten day stay and I already miss her sweet, goofy face 💕
Honey is a 6 m.o. boxer puppy I met at the newhall dog park, lucky for her , her mom was just so happening trying to plan a thanksgiving vacation to visit her son and family in Hawaii! I'm happy I was able to provide some relief over the holiday for her so she can comfortably enjoy her family getaway. I look forward to seeing you next time you crazy lil Pooh bear!

Recently I had the pleasure of watching this duo , Tucker (y.lab) and Beau (b.lab) over our past holiday. It was my first time caring for Beau - but Tucker and I had already met before so I knew he was a laid back sweet boy. His brother is just as sweet but kissed by the joy of youth with his hyper demeanor and spunky personality. We all love to run and play ball and see a happy tired puppy, but this past week I have been partial to the sweeter side of age, the golden years.

Beau and Tuckers mom invited me to help wrangle these pups while they had family photos taken and I was so happy to be involved in such an intimate experience. I have been invited to family portraits before and each one I treat with the ultimate respect and try my best to help out in any way...

Sometimes I get to see pets throughout their whole life, luckily most of them are still here, but so many I love are approaching or have been in their older years before I started caring for them and I just wanted to make sure all you senior pup owners know how much you are appreciated.

I see you.
I see and feel the care in your heart for your beloved fur family and they see it as well , But I also see and feel your pain, because although I may just be the petsitter I love each and everyone of "my" pups as if they were mine.

Thank you to those of you who involve me in your pets lives more than just petsitting for them. Our meet ups at the dog park 🩷 💛, the surprise walks by my house and letting me say hi 🤍 🖤 🧡 , the invites to family functions or pawtys and photoshoots - definitely make my day.

Pet owners always judge themselves; Am I doing enough? Does my pet have a good life? What more can I do for them?

The fact that you've read this far on your pet sitters Instagram proves... you're a fricken awesome pet pawrent ! 🐾 ❤️

Imagine this, you get to go on that family vacation to Hawaii 🌴and have a blast while your pups get a staycation poolside at their own home! 🤯 With in home pet care your pets get to stay home, on their routine where they are most comfortable. These are my newest friends LouLou 👒 and GiGi 🕶️ , their family wanted them to stay home where we could possibly manage their stress which is super important because LouLou is Diabetic and requires insulin twice daily! Although any time a family leaves their pets it can be very upsetting and this can be displayed in many ways, for LouLou and GiGi it seemed to have shown through their appetite but we stopped at no means to make sure breakfast and dinner were yummy and entertaining! Ground beef, turkey lunch meat, a mega turkey breast and about two bags of Stella and Chewys trainer treats and cheese are what made their meals more appetizing! 🤤 And definitely helped manage the carb intake for our lil diabetic girl 💕 Looking forward to seeing you two again!
Favorite moments; When Gigi's ears would stand up and when LouLou would carry around her favorite 🐑.

A special Thankyou to and family for trusting me with your loved ones! 🐶 🐶 🦎 🦎
