Pet care experience

Your dog’s weekend getaway!

I’ve had animals growing up all of my life including goats, horses and dogs from small to large. I have experience in both their care and for understanding their needs through hand on situations and passion. I especially love dogs because of their loyalty, love and tail wags! I’ve had my current dog from a puppy for the last year and a half and have loved seeing her grow! Your dog will always be the only dog I am watching along with mine and you can rest assure that your pup is well taken care of!

Our Bailey had a wonderful time with Shelby! She was an awesome communicator and very flexible with different timings! Definitely would recommend anyone looking for a sitter in the Annapolis area

Harper had a great time playing with Ellie! Shelby and Kyle are anmazing and provided lots of updates and photos. Their yard is the perfect place for the dogs to run around. They took her on walks and even let her sleep with them. I’m sure Harper felt right at home and she is already missing her buddy. We will definitely be back!

This is our second time working with Shelby, both times we needed last-minute assistance and she stepped in happily. She took great care of our dogs, gave them their medicine, let them frolic in the yard, and even brought in our packages and kindly turned off our oil diffuser that we had left on in a rush so we didn’t have to come back. We cannot recommend her enough, especially if you are looking for a sitter who is patient with skittish/anxious dogs.

Shelby is such a gem. This is our second stay with her. She will love your pup as her own. Fantastic updates throughout the day, lots of fun with her Ellie to play with too. Cannot recommend her enough! Thanks again Shelby!

Schedule

I only am only available weekends with occasional changes upon request and that’s simply so that I can devote myself to being with your pet for as much of their stay as I can provide. My husband also is in the house will assist in any care needs, as he is passionate about dogs as well :) I typically take my dog on walks 4-5x a day or fetch sessions in the yard and can adjust scheduling as needed.

Safety, trust & environment

My dog is friendly (very) with dogs of all shapes and sizes, is up to date on all shots and vaccinations, and has no history of violence. We are a pet friendly household that can accommodate crate training or more spoiled pups who enjoy being on the furniture as much as my Ellie does. I heavily respect rules and any needs/boundaries that you may have with caring for your pet all within good reason.
