Availability
As a stay-at-home mom to a 2½-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son, I spend my days at home surrounded by my own pets, which means I always have time to give them the love and attention they deserve. Pet care is already part of my daily routine—whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just being present to make them feel secure—so I’d love to use my extra time to help other pet parents, too. I’m available any day of the week and can make multiple visits a day if needed, whether that’s to provide extra potty breaks, medication, or just a little more companionship while you’re away. I understand how much peace of mind it brings knowing your pets are cared for, and I’m committed to giving them the same care and attention I give my own.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have a brand-new fenced yard that gives plenty of room to run and play, along with my two friendly, playful labs who love having company. Fresh water is always available in large, clean bowls that I wash daily, and for water-loving pups, there’s even a creek right next to the house where supervised splash time is an option. I also have plenty of toys to keep tails wagging, and I can easily crate a dog if that’s part of their routine or helps them feel secure. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and trustworthy environment where every pet feels right at home.

A typical day
A typical day with me is all about fun, fresh air, and making sure your pet feels loved and cared for. We start with plenty of playtime—whether that’s a game of fetch in my spacious fenced yard, social time with my two friendly labs, Gunner and Aspen, or supervised splash sessions at the creek for water-loving pups. For those who prefer to stay dry, there are toys, snuggles, and ball games to keep tails wagging. Throughout the day, pets always have access to fresh, clean water, and I love rewarding good girls and boys with plenty of treats (with your approval). After play, every pup can enjoy some downtime for a cozy nap, making sure their day is balanced, happy, and stress-free

Your Pet’s Home Away From Home
Pet care experience
I’ve grown up caring for dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. Right now, I share my days with two lovable Labrador retrievers—Aspen, my energetic and sweet, chocolate girl, and Gunner, my laid back red fox boy. Over the years, I’ve gained experience not just with daily walks, play, and training, but also with more specialized care like giving medications, tending to special needs, and supporting dogs through health challenges. My heart dog, Tank, sadly passed in 2024 from a cancerous brain tumor, and that experience taught me how important compassion, patience, and gentle care are when a dog needs extra love. Whether your pup is a playful ball chaser or needs calm, attentive support, I’m dedicated to making sure every dog I watch feels safe, happy, and cared for like family.

Reviews
Shelbi is so communicative and easy to work with in taking care of our dog! We’re thankful that’s she’s been walking Arty for almost a year now and has been a huge help!
Shelbi is timely, communicates well and updates me whenever she’s walking Arty. She clarifies things if she has questions, I’d recommend her anytime!
Shelbi did a stellar job and provided a detailed report each day. Highly recommend!
Shelbi was a great sitter for my dog! She kept me updated throughout the day and went above and beyond in taking care of her. I would recommend her in the future!
