Adventures & Cuddles with Selyn

✨ What Sets Me Apart ✨ I don’t just care for pets—I treat them like family. 💖 With me, your furry friend will enjoy the best of both worlds: adventures on the trail for exercise and stimulation, and plenty of cuddles & snuggles for comfort and love. 🐶 Special Skills & Experience: Puppy Love – I’m patient, consistent, and gentle when working with puppies, helping reinforce positive behaviors while giving them safe outlets for their energy. Senior Pet Care – I understand the extra TLC older pets need, from slow-paced walks to medication reminders and cozy snuggle time. Trail Walking Enthusiast – If your pup loves the outdoors, I specialize in safe, fun, and stimulating walks on local trails, keeping tails wagging and spirits high. Calm & Caring Approach – Whether your pet is shy, anxious, or high-energy, I adapt to their personality so they feel safe, loved, and happy in my care. 💡 My goal is simple: to give your pets the same love, adventure, and attention I give my own.

Wonderful! Highly recommend. Didn’t worry a second I was gone about my fur baby. She also kept me well informed each day with lots of wonderful pictures. She even got my Bailey some toys!

Selyn was great! We were traveling with our border collie who was nervous in a strange place. We hired Selyn to stay with him while we went to a wedding and let her know he may not do anything but stare at the door until we got back. Selyn was perfect, very calm and waited for him to come to her. She brought toys and a did a great painting activity with him. I highly recommend her!

To leave our 13-year-old dog home for 3 weeks was a huge decision we wrestled with for months. Finding a dog/house sitter on Rover made this daunting prospect easier. Our choice, Selyn, strongly answered our questions, having the qualities you need when undertaking both a dog and a house sitting position: honesty, reliability, dependability, conscientiousness, and a full commitment to our peace of mind. She communicated openly with daily updates and photos. She administered meds and picked up scripts. She soothed our highly anxious dog with an earnest and true-hearted approach, ultimately winning our dog’s heart. Selyn takes her job seriously, and a huge plus, she radiates a sincere cheerfulness in her devotion to duty. P.S. Upon return, our house was immaculate.

Selyn was so awesome! She was very communicative, send lots of photos and updates and took great care not only of our two pups but also of our home. It's nice knowing everything is in great hands while you're away and Selyn definitely gave us that peace of mind. She even brought our pups treats and little toys to spoil them. Definitely loved them like they were her own. Don't hesitate to book with Selyn, you won't regret it!

Ever since I met Selyn, she’s always the one who walks into a room and makes everyone laugh! She always smiles and makes everyone feel so welcomed. However, her smile is even bigger while playing and taking care of or even simply just talking about her 3 fur babies! She always loves letting us know about her dogs and the pictures she shows us; we know they get so much love, care, and undivided attention from her and her husband. I couldn’t recommend anyone better for this opportunity! Any doggo will be so lucky to have some time with her!

Schedule

Caring for pets is part of my everyday life—it’s second nature to me! 🐾 Whether it’s morning snuggles, midday check-ins, or evening feedings, I naturally weave pet care into my daily schedule. I’m used to balancing medications, mealtimes, litter box duty (yes, even the furballs 😹), and lots of love. Weekly, I make time for longer visits, extra play sessions, and plenty of cuddle breaks, because for me, pets aren’t just a responsibility—they’re family.

💡 “Tell me all about your furball’s quirks! Do they have a favorite toy, a goofy habit, a strict bedtime, or a treat they go bananas for? 🐾 The more I know about their routine, health needs, and what makes them happiest, the better I can spoil them just like you do!” 🐶🐱✨
