Information Shaelyn R. would like to know about your pet

Please be sure to let me know of need based care for any behaviors your pet may have. For example, I would like to know how they are on walks and what/if anything they are reactive to. Along with any severe allergies they may have/ injuries / sore points on the body. Any behaviors that need addressed are no problem at all, we can see if I am a good fit for your fur babe if they are sensitive to strangers. Again, I’m here for you and the critters so if there’s any ambiguity ~ just ask!

A typical day

We can review the tasks and daily activities you would like me to hit, or I can provide my personal plan prior to service. To include things such as place work, walks, puzzles, and more for mental and physical stimulation!

Calm, caring, companion!

Pet care experience

Aside from having many pets growing up, including farm animals, I have been a foster dog caretaker for seven years and counting, along with attending training from professionals with my own dog, Bo. It truly fills my heart to meet and help all critters that I cross paths with! Thank you for reading a little bit about me and if you have any questions about my services or care skills please don’t be afraid to ask. I completely empathize with the anxiety around others caring for our furry family members when we need help, and I am here to ease that worry as much as possible.

Shaelyn was incredibly kind and responsive from the start! Today was her first visit with our shy pup and she was very patient with him. We are excited to have Shaelyn moving forward

Shaelyn has been a life saver. She jumped in and took care of Annie like an absolute pro. She made sure she was walked, fed, and cuddled. Will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter or walker.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
