Pet care experience
I grew up with an American Eskimo “Hallie” and I really miss having her around! I'm a resident physician at Vanderbilt and I love dogs but don’t quite have the time/money yet to have my own 24/7. I was previously a rover sitter in DC over 4 years and am loving it in Nashville too! I’m very active and enjoy taking the dogs on walks outside multiple times a day. I usually only host one dog at a time unless they are from the same household. I'm extremely trustworthy and responsible and would take loving care of your pup! I will also send pictures and updates throughout the stay. :) My fiancé Patrick lives with me and works from home which is perfect for dogs that require more frequent attention or potty breaks. He grew up with multiple Labrador retrievers and loves dog sitting with me! Thanks so much for considering us. Feel free to send any questions or concerns. My schedule varies so I will check on your dates and let you know. Most often I work 8-5 and can provide 3-4 potty breaks a day. When my fiancé is not traveling for work, he works from home and can provide lots of attention! For dog boarding: I typically let the dogs roam around the house unless they are crated by their owner. Allowed on furniture and bed, but will also abide by what the owner prefers if the dogs are trained not to get on furniture.
Reviews
Wonderful experience boarding our two doodles with Shelby and Patrick! Looking forward to using them again!
Shelby and Patrick were so great with George for the 5 days he stayed at their home! They sent photos daily and made me feel comfortable that George was doing well. I will definitely be using them as a sitter again in the future!
Shelby and Patrick are great! Sent lots of cute little updates and my doggy came home super happy! Would highly recommend!
Our boys had a great time with Shelby! She kept us updated daily with pictures and how they were doing, and the pups looked so happy playing in the snow and cuddling!

We always joke that dogs stay at a 5 star resort when they stay with us. They always snuggle up on the couch and in our extremely comfortable cloud-like bed with great window, people-watching views. They get lots of attention and we always make sure to follow the owners instructions for food, treats, medications, etc. We promise your doggo will want to come back and see us and we are so happy to see how excited the dogs get when they return :) I also try to send many picture updates, especially during the first stay!

Information Shelby F. would like to know about your pet
If there is anything notable about your dog that you feel I should know, I am here to listen! I want your dog to have a splendid time with us and I want you to feel at ease that he/she is in good hands! :)
A typical day
Lots of walks and snuggles! If you bring toys we will play with them! I also have a toy or two that dogs always seem to find and love! I like going to McCabe park for longer walks if the dog does well in busier park areas as it feels very outdoorsy and is super close to my house!

Availability
One of the caretakers (Patrick) works from home so schedule is extremely flexible with frequent potty breaks and lots of attention throughout the day. My weekday schedule is variable but is often 8-10 hour days so I am involved with morning and evening parts of the dog’s routine.
