About Shelbi L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all client instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and playtime preferences. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, love, and enrichment, while also keeping their space tidy and comfortable. With my background as a veterinary technician, I’m confident handling pets with special needs or administering medications safely. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pets are happy and cared for.
Information Shelbi L. would like to know about your pet
Anything regarding their routine is important to me! If they like eating out of a certain bowl, playing with a certain toy, or on a strict feeding schedule. Any input on temperament is appreciated as well, I always want to make the pet as comfortable as possible.
A typical day
It’s important to keep pets engaged! Either with parks, trails, long walks, training games, or playing in the yard. You can always teach an old dog new tricks!

I’m comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and have a strong background with pets who have mobility concerns. I will ensure your pets will be safe, happy, and well taken care of! From potty breaks, to walks, to multiple daily visits, to overnight stays! In addition, I’m comfortable with pets who require medication or injections. Feel free to call or text me for your pets needs!
Reviews
Shelbi did an amazing job house sitting and caring for our dog. Our dog can be pretty anxious when we’re away, but we felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Shelbi was communicative, reliable, and respectful of our home. We came back to a happy dog and a well-cared-for house. We’d absolutely book with her again!
Shelbi was great with our dogs. She was on time to every visit and spent time with the dogs letting them run and play and eat and rest. She was also a good communicator letting us know how they were doing and sharing some photos.
Shelbi did great with our dog! Would book again
Shelbi L. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
