Pet care experience

Your dog’s new best friend

I’ve been a devoted dog person since day one. Growing up, I spent every waking moment surrounded by our family Labradors - Hoss, Chance, and Shadow. They were my constant companions, teaching me early on about dog body language, energetic play, and the unconditional loyalty that makes dogs so special. Today, my heart belongs to my rescue pup, Sadie. Caring for rescues has deepened my understanding of individual dog personalities, patience, and how to make every pup feel secure, loved, and completely pampered. My ultimate goal in life is simple: to share joyful, safe, and enriching moments with as many dogs as humanly possible. Why Your Pup Will Love Their Time With Me! I treat every dog like royalty, tailoring each visit to their unique energy levels and preferences. Whether your pup thrives on active play and scenic strolls, needs a gentle companion to snuggle with, or requires steady, attentive handling, I provide personalized, five-star care. When your dog is with me, you can count on: - Tailored Attention: From high-energy fun to calm, soothing companionship. - Safety & Security: Attentive, experienced handling learned over a lifetime of caring for dogs. - Complete Peace of Mind: Frequent, high-quality updates and photos so you never miss a moment of their day.

Shelbi is wonderful and so thorough with her care, our cat instantly liked her and her sunny disposition. Thank you, Shelbi, for taking such good care of our fur baby!

I would find it hard to believe that anyone would love and care for your furry companion as much as Shelbi will. To top if off, she is very professional, dependable, and trustworthy. If you need someone to take excellent care of your fur babies, like you would, I highly recommend using Shelbi!

Schedule

I love being active throughout the day. I’m able to spend time walking in the morning (8-9:30am), over the lunch hour (11am-1pm), and in the early afternoon (3-4:30pm). This will vary but for the most part is when I’m available.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m all about learning each dog’s preferences and quirks. Just like humans, dogs have things they like and don’t like. I’m a firm believer in building a relationship of trust with each dog and never pushing myself on them.

A typical day

I’m a walk-lover. I have multiple apps that help find the best paved trails from where I am at. If your pup has a favorite place I would love to share it with them!
