Safety, trust & environment

When I am invited into your home to care for your pets you can rest assured that they will be loved and taken care of. I make sure my schedule fits around when they need to go for walks, to go potty, to eat, etc. And you can expect upon return that your home will be cared for too. I will always clean, collect the mail, water your plants if you desire, put the rubbish bins on the street, wash the bedding and towels I use, etc!

Shelby was amazing and took great care of our pups! She followed all instructions, sent pictures and had great communication. She started the laundry, took the trash out, and left our house in fabulous condition. Our dogs definitely enjoyed her staying with them and Hank went looking for her the next morning. Highly recommend and will definitely book her again in the future!

Shelby was awesome she took care of my 3 little dogs. I have to say she passed the test with the little chihuahua that is scared of everything and he ended up cuddling with her. Shelby took care of the trash,mail and the laundry for the dogs before she left. She also sent me pictures and responded to all my texts. Hopefully she is available for next time.

Shelby was so amazing!! She was so attentive, answered our texts right away, and did everything we we asked of her. She left the house very clean and tidy when she left. Gator absolutely loved her, we swear he was sad when we got home because it wasn’t Shelby. Thank you Shelby and we’ll be booking her again soon!

Shelby has a natural love for all animals. She has a gentleness about her that dogs respond instantly to. She always gave our dog so much love and attention. Shelby is very responsible and conscientious. You will be delighted in how she loves on your fur baby.

I highly recommend Shelby as a pet caregiver! She is a loving and responsible person who has a huge heart for all animals, especially pets. Shelby has a warm, friendly and safe demeanor, which is why she connects instantly with pets and pet owners alike. Growing up with multiple pets herself, Shelby understands how beloved pets are and provides compassionate care, giving pet owners peace of mind and assurance their fur babies are in the best hands. Shelby's integrity and kindness shines through in everything she does, which makes her an excellent pet caregiver as well as an being an amazing human. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy and devoted pet caregiver.

Schedule

I have been caring for Dogs, Cats, and Rodents since I was really young. That combined with my experience at The Florida Wildlife Hospital, I know I am capable of the care your furry friends need! From dogs as small as Teacup Yorkies to as giant as Great Danes, we have owned them and I know their needs! I have helped raise and train puppies, worked with foster dogs, and cared intentionally for senior dogs. I also have experience with many animals in the house at once, we frequented about 6 at a time! Over my travels the last few years, I have been able to help countless families care for their pets while they were away, and it is my passion to give them each the care they need to the best of my abilities. I will sacrifice time, energy, and anything your pet needs to stay healthy and THRIVING! p.s. I also have experience caring for and working with horses if that applies!
