Hi! I'm an experienced animal care professional with over 5 years of hands on experience working in the veterinary field. Caring for animals has always been my passion, and I'm committed to providing every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Beginning July 7, 2026, I'll be leaving my position at my veterinary clinic to return to school full time in a primarily online program. This means I'll be home much more often, giving me the flexibility to provide attentive care, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship for your pets throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a reliable sitter, daily visits, or extra attention while you're away, you can feel confident knowing they're in the hands of someone with professional veterinary experience and a genuine love for animals. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

I share my home with two calm, friendly cat a neutered male and an easygoing spayed female who are used to other animals and help create a peaceful atmosphere. Whether I’m boarding, walking, or doing drop in visits, you can trust that your pet will be cared for like family in a safe, loving, and reliable environment.

Information Shelbi B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any medical conditions, medications, allergies, or special needs so I can provide the safest, most attentive and personalized care possible.

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about keeping your pet happy, active, and comfortable. Depending on your pet’s needs, we might start the day with a nice walk or some backyard playtime to get their energy out. For pups that love exercise, I enjoy games of fetch, tug-of-war, and long walks. For more relaxed pets, we can have cozy cuddle time, gentle strolls, or mental stimulation with puzzle toys and training games. Throughout the day, I make sure your pet has plenty of fresh water, bathroom breaks, and any meals or medications on schedule. I also like to add enrichment such as practicing basic commands, offering safe chew toys, or enjoying a bit of sunbathing outside. In the evenings, I keep things calm with snuggles, belly rubs, or quiet play before winding down for the night. Every pet is different, so I tailor activities to match their age, personality, and energy level to make sure they have a safe, fun, and loving day.

Pet care experience

As a veterinary technician, I bring professional training and hands on experience to ensure pets receive safe, reliable, and loving care. My lifelong passion for animals began as a child and has only grown stronger through years of both personal and professional experience. I’m comfortable administering medications and supporting dogs with special health needs, as well as providing care for energetic puppies and everything in between. I offer safe and cozy home boarding, fun and engaging walks, and dependable drop-in visits for meals, potty breaks, or companionship. Every dog I meet is treated like family with plenty of love, attention, and individualized care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

12/10! Probably the best sitter I have had on this app and I’ve been a user for over 6 years. Shelbi was able to take my booking last minute for two days only and I had a big family emergency my last day and she was able to extend my booking an extra two days no problem. Not only did my babies loveee her but she bathed them, clipped their nails and cleaned their ears. Definitely recommend and will be a repeat client! 🩵🩵

Shelbi was excellent! She was very attentive and took the time to know my dog. She walked him frequently and sent me photos throughout his stay so I knew he was ok. I will definitely be using her again!

Shelbi was absolutely amazing! From the moment we dropped Nala off, we felt she was in loving and capable hands. She took excellent care of our 6-month-old puppy, kept us updated throughout her stay, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Nala was happy, well cared for, and received lots of love and attention. We are incredibly grateful for Shelbi's kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter, and we will definitely be using her services again in the future. We highly recommend Shelbi to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. Thank you so much, Shelbi for taking care of our Nala 🐶💖!
