Lifetime Animal Lover

I have loved animals as long as I can remember- as a kid, I remember carrying around baskets of barn kittens I would find, rescuing bunnies, playing with my neighbor's farm animals, and my childhood dog being my best friend. Dogs and cats have always been in my life! As an adult, I am currently a proud cat mom of 2 kitties, one a rescue. I raised a Labradoodle (70 pounds at her adult weight) from 7 weeks old - 5 years. Unfortunately she is no longer with me, and I miss having a dog around terribly, which is why I would like to hang out with yours. 😉 I am comfortable with both dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I am not afraid of a big dog! Growing up, we had labs, boxers, large muts, and I am comfortable with walking and playing with a family member's Newfoundland (165 pounds of pure hair and slobber). I am open to drop in visits, playtime, general care, and walks. I have some personal experience with puppies and their unique needs from raising my own. I have watched special needs dogs & cats and have experience with giving oral medication. I am available in the mornings and evenings (anything after 4pm) Monday-Friday, and open all day on the weekends. I recently opened up bathing/grooming services for dogs on my profile; I don't know how to cut dog hair, but I can bathe, brush, and trim nails at your home for $25

Safety, trust & environment

I am respectful of their space and boundaries- I understand we have to build some rapport with one another. I will shower them with love and affection. I'm down for a game of fetch and love giving belly rubs!

Shelby was an excellent sitter and was able to provide photos of our cat Patsy that showed her exited for her visit. She took care of our cat while we were gone and couldn't be more thankful!

Shelby was an amazing Rover for our cat Stryker! She is very caring and communicative. We loved all of his daily updates and would book her again in a heartbeat!

Shelby is the best! She is super sweet and communicated the entire time which I really appreciate. She understood my kitties and their personalities.

Let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs or behaviors I should look out for. I am happy to arrange a time to meet in a public setting first to make sure your pet and I are acquainted before coming to your home.
