Professional dog trainer

Pet care experience

I am an Air Force veteran and own a dog training business called Sit Happens, I employ one daycare attendant who loved animals as much as I do. I’m a mom to a 5 year old daughter. I have loved animals all my life; I have a special fondness for dogs, especially working breed dogs due to my time spent stationed in Korea working with the military K-9s. I have an excellent understanding of dog-body language, but can get along with and care for any animal, big or small. I love taking pictures, so you’ll get a lot of photo updates during your pet’s stay. I have a fenced in yard and my daughter knows how to safely and gently interact with animals. I know that trusting your pet with someone is stressful, and finding the right fit is very important, so I’m always available for a meet and greet before their stay. You and your furry friend will be very happy with me!

Our two pups had a GREAT time w Shelbee and Dillan. They even got bathed and smelled sooo clean! Will definitely be calling on them again when we need a sitter! Great w sending photos to ease our minds that our dogs were having as much fun as we were! Thanks soooo much!

Shelbee was great. It was our first time using this service and we will definitely use again. Our booking was last minute & she was very flexible which was a big help. Our dog was well cared for and she was great about sending updates/pictures. I would definitely recommend her!!!

Shelbee is a responsible and loving caregiver. I purchased my two German Shepherds from one of her litters and have become friends with this caring lady. She is so compassionate about giving the best care to our pets and offering her good advice for the best interests of our beloved furry children. Shelbee is the only one I would trust leaving my pets with, and I highly recommend her for anyone who wants the best care for their pets.

Information Shelbee B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog is crate trained, is a barker, house trained, has any medications or food allergies. It’s also nice to know if they are good with other dogs, cats, and kids.

A typical day

I offer doggy daycare so there is a lot of fun activity here! We also visit local dog parks or dog friendly stores and rotate which dogs get to go certain days.

My entire basement is set up for boarding with 4x4 kennels, as well as various sizes and types of normal crates as well depending on what works best for the dog.
