I am a stay at home mom; my day to day is fully committed to Rover and to being a Mom. I will always send updates throughout the day, during walks, and at drop-ins to provide you with ease and comfort knowing your baby is in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment

*Not currently taking new clients for house sitting* We have outside time a minimum of once every hour. We live in a typical farm style home with a large backyard, that is halfway fenced. We do have leads for the ones that like to run and I do offer daily walks as well for our boarders. We have many toys to choose from; balls, bones, frisbees, etc! I like to keep our schedule as similar to our Rover dogs schedule when they are with us. It keeps the home at ease and without stress. - I require a trial daycare visit for any new clients wanting to book for boarding. It gives us the opportunity to spend more one on one time before committing to full boarding.

Information Shelby F. would like to know about your pet

I don't have breed preferences but I do like to know regular day to day routine, feeding schedule, etc. I will not accept any aggressive behaviors. I require any dogs under my care to be up to date on rabies and bordetella, this protects myself and my dogs to ensure a safe and clean environment for all of us!

A typical day

My dogs love to run and play tag with other dogs, so with the combination of them and me both, your pets will have lots of exercise and love. During down time we like to snuggle, have LOTS of treats, give kisses, and watch movies.

Shelby was amazing with our boys. I loved the photos and videos we received of them. They were so exhausted from playing that they just relaxed all night with us which was nice after a long couple nights!

Shelby took great care of our dog. This was the first time our dog stayed at Shelby’s house, and she really made sure our dog was comfortable and settled in. Our dog loved the backyard and having the freedom to run around.

My girls were well taken care of and I would totally recommend Shelby's service. She's great with the dogs and they love her.

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.
