Certified in Pet First Aid | Reliable, Honest Care Hi, I’m Shelby! I’ve loved caring for animals my entire life and gained professional experience at my sister’s boarding and grooming facility, working with pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m certified in Pet First Aid and Intro to Dog Agility, so safety and enrichment are always priorities. Pet care is a passion alongside my salaried, remote career, and I only accept bookings I can fully commit to. Because I’m on call 24/7 for work, I will always be upfront if a request could impact your pet’s care. My goal is simple: dependable, thoughtful care tailored to your pet.

Safety, trust & environment

My goal is always to make sure the pets in my care feel happy, safe, and genuinely well cared for. I believe regular exercise is essential for both physical and mental health, so walks are always engaging, unhurried, and tailored to each dog’s energy level and comfort. I also understand that every pet is different. Some need extra patience, some need gentle encouragement, and others need calm consistency. Whether caring for seniors, young pets, or those with special needs, I adjust my approach to match each pet’s personality and limitations, always prioritizing their comfort and safety.

Shelby has done a great job with Pax! After the time she's spent with him, he's calmer on the leash. Pax and I thank you!

If I could leave more than 5 stars I would!! Shelby Anne is an amazing care taker and dog walker. She was patient with my shy dog and didn’t give up on him when he didn’t want to go outside. She took the time for him to warm up to her and I think he loves having her come over by now! She was attentive to details and great at communicating with me. I am so sad I am moving and will not be able to continue using her. She is amazing:)

Shelby is wonderful! Personable, kind, thoughtful, and wonderful with our fur children and home! She also put up my anxious worries about all the details in leaving for a trip with a new pet-sitter. I came home to very happy dogs and a clean home. Would highly recommend!

Shelby was very accommodating and flexible, even after I sent her to the wrong address at first! Gave good information about my dog’s walk and went above and beyond! Will definitely book again!

Before confirming a booking, I like to learn as much as possible about your pet to ensure the best care. I’ll send a short form for you to complete with details such as your pet’s name, age, breed, health conditions, allergies, daily routine, activity needs, and any behaviors or triggers to be aware of. We’ll also review house rules, training preferences, access instructions, and emergency contacts, including your veterinarian. Having this information upfront allows me to provide safe, consistent, and personalized care while you’re away.
These prices are for 1 dog.
