Pet care experience
I have worked as a pet sitter since I was in middle school, close to 20 years ago. I previously have worked as a vet tech and have experience handling dogs and cats. I grew up with dogs (labs) and currently have 2 cats.
Reviews
Shelby is my sister and when we were growing up she often pet sat for a few of our neighbors who had a variety of animals: dogs, cats, even birds and a guinea pig. She was always very diligent about taking care of the animals and made sure they weren't lonely when no one else was home. She gives regular updates about how the pets are doing including sending pictures. She is very reliable and had many repeat customers throughout middle and high school. We grew up with labs and she always took care of them when our parents weren't home. Currently she has two cats who are very sweet and adorable. She takes excellent care of them and you can tell they love her a lot. I highly recommend Shelby as a pet sitter.
Shelby is a true dog whisperer! During my one-week absence, she cared for my Samoyed, Ramsey, as if he were her own, ensuring his daily routine of multiple daily walks was maintained. She regularly sent me photos throughout the day, which was incredibly reassuring, knowing how much I miss Ramsey when we're apart. Her flexibility was a lifesaver when my return flight got delayed, she was super understanding. It's clear from Ramsey's joyful demeanor and affection towards her that he received the best possible care. Shelby's professionalism and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. She is, without a doubt, the only person I trust with Ramsey's care in my absence. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of compassionate, attentive, and reliable pet care
Shelby took care of my cat while I was gone for several weeks, and she was the best! I was nervous about leaving my cat for so long, but Shelby was reliable and consistent and gave me regular updates about how things were going. It was such a relief to get regular reassurance, and to know that my cat was in good hands. When I returned, everything was neat and tidy and Shelby returned my key to me immediately. I would recommend her to anyone.
