The Paw-fect Sitter Awaits!

Pet care experience

Welcome! If you're new to Rover, use code SHE1BY to get $20 off your first booking. I'm thrilled you're considering me to care for your beloved pet. Animals are my full-time passion and profession. I've developed comprehensive experience caring for a wide range of animals over the years, not just dogs. I pour my heart into what I do, and it's a joy to welcome new furry members into our family. Rest assured, your dog will receive endless love, attention, and care from my family and me, just as if they were our very own.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety comes first. My priority is to create a secure and controlled environment for all dogs in my care. I know that introducing dogs can sometimes be a concern, which is why I carefully manage interactions and continuously monitor all guests. I'm skilled at understanding different dog temperaments and energy levels to ensure a peaceful atmosphere for everyone. Crates can be a valuable tool for a dog's comfort and safety. I use them responsibly and only when needed, never as punishment. Your dog's positive experience and well-being are always my focus.

Information Shelby B. would like to know about your pet

Please share any behavioral concerns, medical conditions, or special needs your pet has beforehand so I can tailor their care accordingly. What to bring: • Your pet's collar and leash • Their food and food bowl • Crate, if your pet is crate-trained (I may have one available) * Optional: Treats/bones, a favorite bed, or a toy We always encourage safe playtime! Remember, bringing fewer items generally makes for an easier and more organized stay.

A typical day

Your dog's day will be structured for their comfort and enjoyment. We start with early morning potty breaks, scheduled meals, and any required medications. Throughout the day, there are opportunities for outdoor breaks and walks. Evenings mirror our morning routine with consistent feeding times, always ensuring individual feeding unless appropriate for group settings. Our goal is to provide a calm and restful environment as we wind down for the night. While I prefer pick-up and drop-off times no later than 7 PM, I understand that circumstances can vary and I'm always flexible. I am also readily available to extend your pet's stay should you need it.
