Pet care experience

Experienced Pet Pro 🐶😺

I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life and truly can't imagine a world without them. As an aspiring dog trainer and former Boarding Director at a busy dog daycare and boarding facility, I have years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I'm certified in dog CPR and comfortable administering both oral and topical medications. I also spent several years at a humane society, where I cared for cats and gained valuable experience with animals who needed extra patience and love. Providing high-quality, compassionate care is something I'm deeply passionate about. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities!

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in the pets home, my top priorities are always safety, comfort, and maintaining their usual routine. I take time to learn each pet's specific needs, from feeding schedules and medications to playtime and cuddles.

Shelby was great. Responsive and responsible. Our dog took to her right away. She sent lots of pictures and updated us during her stay. Highly recommend her.

This was our 2nd time using Shelby and she is amazing. Our dog and house were well cared for. She is excellent at communicating. She found a tick on our dog, removed it and even picked up meds from our vet and administered. She sends lots of sweet photos of our dog Stella. She is very patient with our aging dog and cares for her so well. Our house was spotless when we returned from our vacation. It is so nice to have a dog sitter we can trust. We can’t recommend her more strongly.

I hate to say that Selby exceeded my expectations and that I can only give her 5 stars. She took great care of Odis while I was away. The reason that i hate to say this is because as she develops more contacts and bookings it will be harder for me to book her in the future and possibly her rates will go up. Which if I need her again, I will gladly pay it.

Schedule

I typically work around 1pm to 10pm in Dundas, but I occasionally work overnights 10pm to 6am. If you're not comfortable with me working overnights while caring for your pet, let me know one month in advance so I can let my job know, as they schedule out 3 weeks in advance.

It’s really important for me to understand your pet’s specific needs and routine ahead of time. Please let me know if your dog has any medical conditions, dietary restrictions, behavioral quirks, or special care instructions. I also like to follow their regular schedule as closely as possible: mealtimes, walk times, bedtime routines, and anything else that helps them feel at home while you're away.
