Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Dog’s New Favorite Human
Lifelong animal experience – I’ve cared for animals my entire life, not just as a job but as a way of life. • Real dog-owner perspective – With 2 dogs of my own, I understand routines, energy levels, training reinforcement, and emotional needs. • Calm, patient care – Great for shy, anxious, senior, or high-energy dogs who need consistency and understanding. • Individualized attention – I don’t do “one-size-fits-all” care. Walks, play, feeding, and downtime are tailored to your dog. • Trust & reliability – I show up on time, follow instructions closely, and communicate clearly so you can relax while you’re away. • Home-style love – Your dog is treated like family, not a booking. Hi! I’m Shelbie, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all personalities. I live in a peaceful rural area with plenty of space for play, walks, and safe adventures. Your furry friend will get the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away! Dog Boarding (In My Home – Female Dogs Only) For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I only board female dogs. My Australian Shepherd has a strong personality, and keeping our home harmonious means I cannot accept male dogs. Female pups are always welcome, and they’ll receive lots of love, playtime, and cuddles in a safe, home environment.

Ratings and reviews
I was going out of town overnight and I had Shelbie watch my puppy. I had given her care instructions that I do for him and she followed them to a T. She sent me pictures and videos on how he was doing which I appreciate so much. She would even text me throughout the morning on my way back home with updates on how he was. Even though it was an overnight dogsit, I would definitely trust Shelbie again to watch my dog again. She has an amazing nature and she's FANTASTIC with animals. Thank you Shelbie for taking good care of my boy ❤️

Shelbie house sat for me and watched my Two Yorkies, she was very loving and caring. Everything was clean and orderly when I got home. Both Mira and Miracle were very happy. I would definitely use her again.
Shelbie is an incredibly responsible and attentive caregiver who treats every pet as if they were her own. She is reliable, observant, and has a natural way of making animals feel safe and loved. I trust her completely with my pets and cannot recommend her highly enough!

Schedule
I work full-time from 8–5, but I’m happy to stop by during my lunch break for local drop-ins to take your sweet guy or girl out for a potty break, walk, or some love. I’m available after 5 PM, all day on Wednesdays, and all weekends. I’m reliable, flexible, and always happy to work with your pet’s routine whenever possible.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets with patience, consistency, and lots of love—whether in my home or yours. While I don’t have a yard yet, I live close to a dog park and provide plenty of walks, playtime, and mental stimulation to keep dogs happy and exercised. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, play, and downtime. Safety and comfort always come first, and I make sure pets get individual attention, affection, and enrichment. In your home, I respect your space while ensuring your pet feels secure and relaxed in their familiar environment. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet as if they were my own.
Pets
A typical day
I love keeping pets happy, active, and feeling at home! When I’m watching your pet, we’ll enjoy relaxed or energetic adventures (depending on their pace), playtime with their favorite toys and games, extra belly rubs and cuddles! Mental stimulation like basic commands, lick mats, or treat games. Calm time- I always tailor activities to your pets personality and energy level as well as routine.
