Highlights
Pet care experience
Passionate about your pet
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.

Ratings and reviews
Shelby was great! She was willing to help out with a last-minute dog walk and ensured our pup was cared for. Highly recommend her for your pet-caring needs!

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!
