Wags with a Vet Tech

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.

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 🐶💖!

Shelbi is so great with animals of all types. She genuinely loves them all. I've seen her care for dozens of pets over the last decade, and she has cared for each as if they're her own. She was born to work with animals. She is knowledgeable and experienced in pet care. I actually seek her help and advice frequently for my own pets. I'd trust her with my spoiled babies any day! You and your best fur-iend won't regret booking with her.

Shelbi has watched my dog a few times while traveling. Ollie does well and we've never had an issue. She has kept him for days at a time and send updates through the day letting us know how he is. She has always been very kind and I appreciate her and how she is w my dog.

Schedule

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. As a veterinary technician, I have the professional experience to recognize health concerns, safely administer medications, and handle special needs with care and confidence. When pets board with me, they’ll stay in a safe and cozy home environment with plenty of love and attention. 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.

Pets

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.
