Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My pets are cared for like family members and yours would be as well. I am a firm believer in socialization and training for my personal pets. I am dedicated to providing enjoyable, safe, and loving environments to all pets. I am happy to walk your dog or play with your cat to meet their needs, whether it be a sauntering sniff walk or a fast paced set of zoomies to release pent up energy!

Our cats love Shelby! Even though we have a senior cat who requires a special diet and medication, Shelby manages to give equal time to all of three of them. Thank you Shelby

Shelby was incredibly kind and thorough while we were out of town. Our cat was perfectly content when we returned which made us very relived. Will definitely book her again in a future trip. Thanks again Shelby!!

Shelby is a fantastic sitter! On our last booking, she accepted a same day booking as we had to leave town for a family emergency. It gave me such peace of mind to know our cat Olive was in good hands and am so grateful to Shelby for helping us out in a pinch!

Please let me know if you have a reactive or nervous dog. I am happy to walk dogs that require more special attention, however these dogs have specific needs that need to be met for their safety and the safety of others. I am also happy to walk younger puppies or non-leash trained dogs. However, in this case I would require pet owners to provide kibble or treats for their pet to help keep them engaged during our walk and let me know if they have any known allergies.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
