Information Shelby C. would like to know about your pet

When preparing instructions for a dog walker from Rover, it's essential to be clear and thorough to ensure your dog's safety and happiness. Here are key points - Contact Information: Provide your phone number and any emergency contacts, including your veterinarian's information. - Feeding Instructions: Detail the type of food, portion sizes, and feeding schedule, including any treats - Walking Routine: Specify how often and how long to walk your dog, preferred routes, and any leash or harness preferences. - Behavior and Temperament: Describe your dog’s personality, any fears or triggers, and how they interact with other dogs and people. - Health and Safety: Include any medical conditions, allergies, medications, and emergency procedures in case of an accident. - Supplies Location: Indicate where food, water bowls, leashes, toys, and any comfort items are located in your home. Providing these instructions will ensure your dog receives attentive and appropriate care while you’re away!

A typical day

Morning Routine: • Early Start: I rise early, ready to greet the day with enthusiasm! After a quick breakfast and coffee, I prepare for the day ahead. • Pack Essentials: I gather all the necessities—leashes, waste bags, treats, and water bottles—ensuring I’m fully equipped for safe and enjoyable walks. Mid-Morning Walks: • First Clients: My day usually kicks off with a series of morning walks. I meet each dog at their home, taking a moment to bond and assess their energy level. • Exploring the Neighborhood: We set off for our walk, enjoying the fresh air and exploring local parks or familiar routes. I focus on providing a fun and stimulating environment, encouraging sniffing, playing, and socialization. Afternoon Adventures: • More Walks: Throughout the day, I continue to meet various furry friends. Each walk is tailored to the dog’s needs, whether that means a leisurely stroll for seniors or a vigorous run for the more energetic pups. • Hydration & Breaks: I ensure that every dog has access to water and take breaks as needed, especially on warm days. Midday Drop-Ins: • Pet Sitting: In addition to walks, I often have midday drop-in visits. During these visits, I check in on pets, provide food, and engage in playtime. • Quality Time: I dedicate time for cuddles and companionship, ensuring pets feel loved and secure while their owners are away. Evening Wrap-Up: • Final Walks: As the day winds down, I finish with evening walks, helping dogs release any pent-up energy before bedtime. • Updates for Owners: After each walk or visit, I send updates and photos to pet owners, sharing highlights of our time together. This keeps them connected and reassured that their pets are happy. End of Day: • Reflecting on the Day: I take a moment to reflect on the day’s adventures, celebrating each dog’s unique personality and the special moments we shared.

Pet care experience

I have trained and cared for everything from Dobermans to my tabby cat! I am offering a rare an affordable introductory deal in order to build my client base, so get quality care for less while you can! As a dedicated dog walker, I have developed a deep understanding of canine behavior and a passion for ensuring their well-being. My journey began with volunteering at local animal shelters, where I learned to handle dogs of various breeds, temperaments, and sizes. This hands-on experience taught me the importance of patience and effective communication, allowing me to establish trust with dogs immediately. I pride myself on my ability to adapt my approach to suit each dog’s unique personality, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure during our time together. Throughout my career, I have successfully managed walks for dogs requiring different levels of exercise and socialization. Whether it’s a high-energy Labrador needing an hour of vigorous play or a senior Beagle requiring gentle strolls, I tailor each outing to meet the specific needs of the dog. I am well-versed in various training commands and reinforcement techniques, allowing me to maintain control and encourage good behavior during our walks. Additionally, I prioritize safety by using appropriate leashes and harnesses and remaining vigilant in high-traffic areas, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for both the dog and myself. My commitment to providing exceptional care extends beyond walks. I offer services that include feeding, medication administration, and even light grooming when needed. I understand the importance of a consistent routine, and I am diligent about following the specific instructions provided by pet owners. By maintaining open communication with clients and providing updates on their dogs’ activities and behavior, I foster a sense of trust and reassurance. My extensive experience and genuine love for dogs make me an ideal choice for pet owners seeking reliable care for their furry companions.

Shelby was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our dogs while we were away and gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy, safe, and well loved. The photos she sent throughout the week were so reassuring, our dogs looked happy, relaxed, and clearly loved spending time with her. She also went above and beyond by keeping an eye on our house and was even able to help us with an extra day at the last minute, which we truly appreciated. Shelby was reliable, communicative, and genuinely cared about our pets. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her!

Shelby took care of our medium sized dog Luna and did an excellent job. She shows up on time and communicates in advance if she is unable to make it. She even taught luna some on leash manners using balanced training methods. Thanks again!
