Availability
Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. My husband joins me on sits and works remotely, and with young children we spend a large amount of time at home. This means pets receive plenty of dedicated time, companionship, and attention throughout the day. Our routine works especially well for pets that benefit from human presence, consistency, playtime, and affection. We prioritize: • Morning and evening routines • Walks and exercise schedules • Feeding consistency • Playtime and enrichment • Companionship throughout the day • Maintaining established household routines

Pet care experience
We are an experienced house and pet sitting family with multiple successful sits including in Hawaii caring for cats, dogs, fish, and homes with gardens and outdoor responsibilities. We have completed house sits on Oahu and the Big Island and have earned 5-star reviews reflecting our reliability, communication, and care. I bring a background volunteering with an animal rescue organization where I fostered animals, giving me experience with different personalities, routines, and care needs. We take the responsibility and exchange of house sitting seriously and are meticulous about following instructions, maintaining routines, and caring for homes respectfully. What sets us apart is the amount of time we naturally spend at home. In this season of life with young children and a remote-working spouse, pets receive a great deal of companionship, affection, and consistency while their people are away. You can also expect: • Excellent communication and regular photo updates • Strong attention to detail and routine-following • Respectful care of homes, artwork, gardens, plants, and outdoor spaces • Experience with tropical homes and environments from both Hawaii house sits and 5 years living in Florida • Clean, tidy, and conscientious home care I am a lifelong dog owner and have experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments through personal ownership, rescue fostering, house sitting, and pet sitting. Experience includes breeds and mixes such as: • German Shepherds • Labrador Retrievers • Australian Shepherds • Bernese Mountain Dogs • Small companion breeds • Mixed breeds and rescue dogs I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, supervised outdoor time, reinforcing owner routines, and adapting to different activity levels and personalities. I understand that every dog has its own temperament and routine, and I prioritize keeping their schedule familiar and low stress.

Reviews
Shelby has personally cared for our dogs and cat, including our 120-pound German Shepherd, and immediately built a genuine connection with each of them. It was obvious from the start how much she loves animals and they felt very comfortable around her. While we were away, she kept us updated with messages and great photos from their adventures, which helped us feel at ease. She went above and beyond to make sure our pets were cared for by giving them plenty of attention and quality time. She is trustworthy, honest, communicative, and a proactive problem solver. I would absolutely trust her with our pets and home again and highly recommend her.
