Safety, trust & environment

I can offer day through night house-sitting, drop-ins up to every two hours, walks, or a combination, depending on what works best for you and your pet(s). With working in the daycare and boarding field for so long, I take the safety of and trust between myself, you, and your pet(s) very seriously. I have experience monitoring multi-pet households, in which different safety concerns or special needs per pet must be monitored. I also have a special love for senior pets and am more than happy to cater to their needs, whether that means slower or more frequent walks, special diets, or extra medical needs. I am able to give oral and injectable medications and have general knowledge on things such as: commonly used medications and monitoring potential concerns, such as abnormal stool, to determine if at-home care options are possible or if symptoms could indicate something that may need Veterinary Care. In the case of multi-day care or if you have specific concerns, I can provide detailed daily notes, regarding eating, medication, bathroom habits, behavior, etc., and pictures of your pet. ** Please note that I am more than happy to stay at your home full-time (24/7), but this will incur variations in my nightly rate which can be discussed at the time of the meet and greet.

Shelbie was absolutely fantastic. Pacer is a lot of work and needs help walking around and Shelbie was very kind patient and gentle with him. He also takes lots of medications and she was great with that as well. This was our first time with Shelbie but it won’t be our last!

With it being the first time I have left my dog with anyone except family; I was extremely nervous to leave for four days. Shelbie kept me in the loop & gave me updates on how both my animals were doing! I could tell by the time Colby first met her, he would be in safe hands & by the pictures she sent throughout the weekend I knew he was having fun!

Pepper and Feather were happy and healthy when we got home! Feather is an older dog who can be challenging! Shelbie was responsible, responsive and respectful!

Schedule

I recently finished my B.S. in Forensic Science and, while I am waiting on job opportunities in the field, will have a very open schedule for the foreseeable future. I am very flexible and open to working in whatever way/time fits best with your schedule and your pets' particular lifestyle and needs!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Shelbie can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
I do require a meet and greet if this is my first time staying with your pet. Any quirks, special needs (lifestyle, diet, allergies, medications or other health concerns, etc.), or any other information that is unique to your pet, that can be given to me ahead of time will help me to provide your pet(s) with the best care possible!
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.
