Pet care experience

Lifelong Animal Lover & Care Giver

What sets me apart from other sitters is that I’ve volunteered at animal shelters since I was eight, where I gained hands on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments. I also fostered dogs, helping with training, socialization, and basic care. In college, I helped care for my roommate’s dog, and since then, I’ve continued dog sitting for friends and coworkers. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals, and well cared for while their owners are away.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and loved in their usual routine. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, and care instructions exactly as provided. I spend quality time playing with them, giving attention, and making sure they get plenty of exercise and affection. I always keep the home tidy and ensure the pet feels calm and cared for while their owner is away.

Shelby is my go to dog sitter whenever I am out of town. She always does an incredible job taking care of my very sweet, but very anxious hound mix. She updates me with photos and takes great care of my house! I could not recommend her enough!

Let me know if your dog has any special behaviors, medicines, or routines to account for. The more I know the better care I can provide.
