Safety, trust & environment

I currently cannot bring your pets into my home, but I am willing to travel to your home and take care of your fur babies where they are most comfortable! I make sure to not push any boundaries, as I know it can be stressful for pets to meet new people when their parents are gone. I always make sure I make any pet I meet as comfortable as possible while under my care!

Information Shelbie M. would like to know about your pet

If your pet needs any special treatment, such as supplements, or if they have any exercise constraints, please make sure we discuss them before booking.

A typical day

I love playing games of fetch, tug of war, and walks. Of course, plenty of cuddles and belly rubs are guaranteed! Mental and physical stimulation for your fur babies is my goal to distract them from the stress of missing you!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Shelbie and I have grown up taking care of all kinds of animals for most of my life. I currently have a dog of my own, whose name is Asher and he is a pit mix I rescued. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets at home, and I would love the opportunity to alleviate that stress by being a trustworthy, punctual pet sitter! I can do drop-in visits to walk your dogs, feed/water them, give them any supplements, and of course, give them lots of love and playtime. I am in school at ODU full time so my availability rests mostly on the weekends. I can also house-sit over weekends if your pet gets super anxious when you're gone! I have pet-sit for multiple friends before, and they had no complaints. I am no stranger to cleaning up any messes and will make sure your home is left cleaner than I found it. I will ensure that your fur baby is happy and well taken care of in your absence, as I always treat them how I would want my own to be treated when I'm gone.

Shelbie was so awesome. Very friendly, great with the animals, sent lots of pics and updates during her stay, and even left the house cleaner than she found it! Definitely will be relying on her in the future.

This was our first time using Rover or trusting anyone other than family with our pets. Shelbie immediately made us feel at ease with how attentive, professional and friendly she was with us and our pets. She was on top of everything and gave our pets quality care and love while we were gone! She provided thoughtful updates and helped our pets feel comfortable and come out of their shells. For the first time ever we were able to take a vacation and have peace of mind. I highly recommend her as a sitter!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
