Shelby Pet Sitter

I am a huge animal lover and love to tend to pets needs. I am currently a dog and cat owner but I have cared for many different kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to birds and horses. I love hiking and other outdoor activities. I have worked at a dog daycare for many 7 years and understand dogs behavior well. I am currently flexible with my work schedule and can be home/drop in almost whenever is needed for your pets. I do have my own transportation and will be able to take your pet wherever he/she needs.

Shelby took wonderful care of my dog and communicated every day. I would use her again.

Shelby is truly an absolute gem! We came home to a happy, well cared for dog, and she even went above and beyond to make Samson more comfortable while we were away. After having several pet sitters over Samson’s nine years, Shelby is by far the best we’ve had. She is attentive, thoughtful, reliable, and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. It was also a super last minute request due to an emergency with the sitter we had arranged prior. We are so happy she was available. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. We are so grateful for her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter.

My dogs love Shelby. They used to go visit her at her place, but as they have gotten older, I thought it would be easier for them to stay home. Shelby not only took good care of my dogs, but she took good care of my home, too. Thank you, Shelby!

Shelby is great. You know your pups are in good hands and she has great communication so you know how your visit went.

Shelby is so considerate when watching my two labs. She stayed longer than expected because of some house maintenance being done. She is a great communicator and I really appreciate her taking last minute time out to help my doggos!

Shelby did a great job walking Lexi while we were gone for the day. She was right on time and let us know Lexi was doing well. We will definately use Shelby again.
