Parker loves staying with Shelby and her family. I can drop him off and know that they are caring for him as I would.

Our dog loved staying with Shelby! The other dogs were perfect and it looked like they did so many activities. We will definitely trust Shelby to watch our dog again.

Schedule

I’m a single mom of three wonderful kids. I homeschool my kiddos, so we are home most of the time, that way I can also care for my own animals, but also I am available for pet sitting!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a ranch style house, with a fenced yard and chickens in the backyard who free range, but can be enclosed if sitting a dog who is not chicken friendly. Overnight house sitting is tricky with kids, unless you are very close to Arvada, but I have a very flexible schedule and I’m always open to drop ins!

Pets

A typical day

We love cuddles! We can also go for walks/runs or throw a ball around the backyard! Or is there something special your pup likes to do? We often have a kiddie pool with fresh water for your pup to drink or splash around in if they want.

Takes only 1 client at a time
Shelby can host up to 3 pets per night
Are they potty and/crate trained? How do they do around kids? Have they ever been exposed to chickens (if not I can keep the chickens in)? And do they have experience with cats? If you're not sure about how your dogs does around chickens/birds or cats... I can definitely give you feedback. I have a dog savvy cat who is great for first time introductions and has the option of staying downstairs if the visiting dog unfriendly with him.
