Honest,dependable care for your pet

Pet care experience

I've been around dogs, cats and other small animals all my life. My family bred Siberian Huskies humanely which is where I received first hand experience in canine husbandry. Most of my experience is with dogs and cats, mostly self taught and through internships with trainers. I'm great with calming techniques and working with breeds that are high energy, as well as administering medication and grooming. I do not charge additional pet fees for dogs and cats!

Shelby did a stellar job housesitting with our dog! Everything was done flawlessly and she handled all our special care requests. Highly recommend.

Shelby has watched my dog and cat several times in the past. My pets are very comfortable around her. Shelby is flexible, super reliable and communicates promptly. I highly recommend Shelby for any petcare needs.

I would definitely recommend Shelby to dog-sit! She's amazing with my dog and he really likes her. She's friendly, reliable, and good with dogs. 10/10 highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I love all animals and you can rest easy knowing I will treat your pets as if they were my own, if not better. I will respect any boundaries you set, and keep you updated with photos/videos of your pet while you're away. Taking care of your pet includes making sure their space is clean so you can count on me to keep food and water bowls clean, litter boxes cleaned as needed, etc. In addition, they'll get all the pets and cuddles they desire while we go for walks or hang out at a park, or relaxing at home.

Information Shelby D. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has medical or mental health needs (ex. Allergies, anxiety) please let me know early, preferably before booking and meetings. Also, any habits (ex. chewing, digging) or areas where they cannot be (ex. not allowed on couch)

A typical day

For dogs, and depending on their age and needs, will recieve daily walks, time spent outside for additional exercise and play. If grooming is needed, we will exercise beforehand for a calmer experience. This also includes pet sitting/overnight stays which I normally do for dogs only. For cats, depending on age and their needs, regular play time with toys, care and maintenance of your pets surroundings (kennel, litter box, etc.)
