Energetic, adventurous animal lover
Pet care experience
Hello fellow animal lovers! I'm looking to love and care for your pups as if they were my own. I love dogs of all types and energy levels! I live in an area surrounded by spacious parks and a close drive to a few dog parks, and I would love some company on my hikes or a buddy to play Frisbee. I come from a family of eclectic animal tastes, becoming well versed in caring for all kinds of pets and animals. I'm patient and gentle, familiar with handling older dogs and young puppies. I'm comfortable with animals requiring daily medication or special routines. I'm a genuine, responsible care giver, excited to spend time with your furry family member and bring you peace of mind.
Reviews
Shelby is an angel. She has watched my pup on a couple different occasions and I adore her. She is so loving and caring - I would trust my animals with her any time! She’s the best!
I have a shy older dog, Jenna. I always worried about leaving town and who would watch her and care for her like I do, because she doesn't trust most people. That's when Shelby came in my life and I couldn't have been happier (neither could Jenna)! She has a way of calming Jenna and getting her to actually show some spunk! Shelby follows my guidelines for Jenna down to the letter and I am so thankful for her in our lives. She even goes the extra mile and takes her on trips to the park for socializing! I would be lost without Shelby and her compassionate nature.
About a year ago I was given a PTSD service dog for some issues I was having since getting out of the Marines. I, however, cannot bring my dog to work as I work in a factory and it is far to dangerous for my dog to be with me (forklifts, hazardous material, etc...). I had known Shelby for some time and asked her to watch my dog, Liberty. She was absolutely wonderful and Liberty is always ecstatic when he sees her. She is the only one I trust now to watch him when I have a long shift or something comes up. She knows his commands, knows how to keep him trained, and follows the rules I have for my dog to the t. Shelby has become family taking care of Liberty for me and I'm glad I have her to take care of him.
