Experience and Qualifications: As an animal lover growing up in the Midwest, Shelly was surrounded by and cared for dogs, cats, ducks, goats, sheep, horses, turtles… just a real menagerie! Fast forward to 1990 in the “Five Cities” area of San Luis Obispo county. Once again, she began to care for a menagerie of pets, but this time for folks whose “kids” needed some attention during the day or perhaps keep them company overnight in the comfort of their own surroundings.
