I am a small business owner which means my schedule is very flexible and I work from home! My roommate and I used to do Rover together before she moved, so you may see her name (Brianna) in some of our reviews. Feel free to send me a message regarding scheduling to see if I’m able to fit your pet into my day!

Safety, trust & environment

For dog walking, I am able to walk around your neighborhood but I also have my own car so could take your dog to a different area if you prefer!

Information Shelby G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of any special needs/accommodations your pet might require and I’ll do my best to ensure everything is taken care of. If there is a specific schedule your pet is used to, let me know and I can make sure this stays them same so that their stay is less of an adjustment from their every day life!

A typical day

I love helping out with reinforcing any “tricks” you may have taught your dog so if you’d like me to practice these while on the walk with your pet then definitely let me know. Enrichment is a very important part of a dog’s life alongside the physical aspect such as walks!

Pet care experience

As an animal lover with experience working in veterinary clinics, humane societies and a wildlife rehabilitation center, I’m an experienced sitter for any pet! I recently graduated from the Masters of Wildlife Biology at the University of Guelph and am now back living in Nova Scotia full time. Throughout my degree, I worked at the Guelph Humane Society as an animal care attendant, and worked at a wildlife rehabilitation center for the last 5 summers, as a wildlife care technician. I personally have a love for small critters - especially rabbits, rats and reptiles, and am more than happy to discuss drop-in for any “exotic” pet! I’m now running my own small business for the summer months, which means my hours are very flexible and I work from home! Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have :)

Shelby was an awesome dog sitter! She met up with us in advance to take the time to meet our young dog, hear about his routine and learn a few commands we've been working on. Shelby was a great amd reliable communicator while we were away and needed to touch base to tie up a few loose ends! We were at ease with Shelby watching our dog and are happy to have a preferred dog sitter going forward!

Brianna and her roommate were so friendly and welcoming. She took such good care of our girls for a week, sent us some photos and kept in touch with us to show how happy the dogs were. We would absolutely recommend and use Brianna again when we travel. Zoey and Chloe were treated so well and we can’t thank Brianna enough.

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.
