🐶 5+ years - Dog Sitting, Walking & Boarding (ex-wag; new to Rover). 🦮 2+ years - Puppy fostering (1-5 months) 📸 FREE Pet Photoshoot for Sittings or upon request Hi Pet Parents 🐾 My name is Shelby and I’ve been walking, sitting, and boarding dogs for over 5 years, and I’ve spent 2 years fostering puppies (my latest being an adorable pitbull mix named Dulce!). I grew up with the best Golden Retriever, but now currently have a cat named Ori. I’m no stranger to pets with special needs, like administering diabetic meds or managing dietary restrictions. Plus, I like to keep things fun and personal—if the timing works, I’ll throw in a mini photoshoot with your pet, absolutely free! I’m super responsive, and I love building trust with both pets and their owners, making sure everyone feels comfortable. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a senior dog, I’m all about safety, fun, and giving your pet the best care! ❤️

Shelby is a great caregiver! She constantly updated me on my pets (with pics), who require medicine and special care. She took them out on walks 2x a day, and made sure they were comfortable always as they were senior dogs.

Shelby is an amazing pet sitter. She took very good care of my ferret for over a week, making sure he was well-fed, entertained, and comfortable the entire time. It’s not easy to find someone who understands small/exotic pets, but she was great. She has also walked and cared for my dog many times. He is a large/high energy German Shepard, and Shelby was able to manage him easily. Shelby is reliable, communicative, and truly cares for animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter/walker. 10/10!

Shelby has been my go-to pet sitter for actual years. You can tell she really loves animals because of the way she interacts with them. She really goes above and beyond to make sure that your pet feels like there is a real and true connection between her and your animal. She has taken care of my two larger dogs, my small dog, and even my cat, and all of them have absolutely loved being with her. PS Shelby is super responsive and sends the best pics !!

Safety, trust & environment

As someone who's been fostering with a rescue for 2 years, believe me I am well-trained in keeping your pet safe! I have worked with puppies, dogs who love to run away, and anxious ones too.

A typical day

I love playing games with your pup! We can talk about which toys are their fave. Many walks will be provided, I need them just as much as your pup does. I prefer making my pets food, so if you do too I am happy to prep and cook.
