Shelby can care for
Availability
I currently am a PRN med lab scientist, so I only work 29 hours a week which is Monday, Wednesday-Friday from 2:45-10:15 so I am able to do weekend, morning, and midday walks and drop ins. House sitting I’m open due to my job being flexible and I don’t mind taking care of your pets before and after work!

About Shelby C.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
In my home we care for our pets just like any other family member because they are our family. I make sure to give my dog plenty of walks as well as potty breaks because he loves the outdoors. He also needs much attention because he was deprived of belly rubs for a long time before he became part of our family, so now we make sure to give him all the love and attention he needs! With my cat she really loves to be by herself and take naps but when she’s hungry… she’ll definitely let us know! So I always give her her favorite food and then usually she’s more than willing to let me cuddle her or she’ll sit of my lap purring as we watch TV or I’m reading a book. If you are interested in hiring me for house sitting we can discuss if you’d prefer me to stay the night or just come and check in, I don’t mind either!
Information Shelby C. would like to know about your pet
If feeding them, I would need to know how much food to give them and if there’s anything I need to do to help them eat. I know sometimes our sweet companions need some medication with their food or need us to stand with them while they eat, so please let me know anything like that or if they tend to not eat when you are gone. Also if they are allergic to anything or anything they can’t eat or be around. Also their temperament, I know just like humans pets can be either very extroverted or introverted so please let me know beforehand so I know how to be around your furry friend!
A typical day
First I go based off the owners wants and needs. I will take them walking if the owner would like me to. If there is an area to play with them outside like a backyard or dog park I’ll take them. If they’re more of an inside pet then I’ll spend time with them inside with pets and belly rubs and playing with inside toys if they have any! I will also of course feed them their favorite meals when needed and give them plenty of water for hydration! If they need any medication with their food please let me know so I can go ahead and do that for you!

Dog’s Best Friend
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Shelby! I’m 25, an Army wife, and a medical lab scientist with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve been around dogs since I was 6 years old and added a cat to the family when I was 14, so I’ve spent most of my life caring for pets of all personalities and sizes, especially having a chihuahua mix for most of my life and then adding a Great Pyrenees mix to our family recently. Being reliable and detail-oriented comes naturally with my background, and I bring that same care and dedication to every pet I meet. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I treat each furry friend as if they were my own. I can’t wait to meet your pets and give them the attention, exercise, and love they deserve! 🐾

Reviews
The cats warmed up to Shelby very quickly!
Shelby was abaialable or short notice when my grandmother passed away and was accommodating to all 3 of our dogs!
Shelby is awesome! She was willing to help with short notice to take care of Bella while I was away. She made the effort to engage and play with Bella, ensuring she had the social interactions I was looking for her and that she burned calories so she would eat. I can’t say thank you enough to Shelby and will definitely be asking for her help again in the future. Thank you, Shelby!
