Shelby was AMAZING! She sent daily updates with photos and my pup Frankie had the best time with her and her pups. I highly recommend Shelby.

I booked this sitter more than a month in advance because I had an international business trip and needed to drop off Kai before my flight. On the day of drop-off, I sent a reminder that we would be there and also texted her when we were on the way, but received no response. We still went to the address as scheduled. We knocked on the door and could hear many dogs barking inside, but no one answered. All I see is the security camera outside blinking red and dogs barking endlessly. We waited for about 20 minutes, tried calling, and the call went straight to voicemail. A Rover agent also tried contacting her, but there was still no response. With our flight only three hours away, we had to scramble to find another sitter at the last minute, drive there, and we almost missed our flight. Because it was such a last-minute booking, I did not have time to properly research the new sitter, and I spent my entire trip worried about whether Kai was in good hands. I have never had this type of experience on Rover before. This was extremely stressful, irresponsible, and disappointing.

Shelby was amazing!! She took amazing care of our golden retriever and we never stressed or worried about her the entire time she was there. She actually brought Rory to our wedding for pictures which meant so much to us. She truly went above and beyond!

Schedule

I work full time so I am not home 9-5 during the week. I do have some flexibility to work from home or come home mid day but it’s not guaranteed! I have experience with large, small, hyper and low energy dogs. I grew up with a German Shepard, a shepherd and St. Bernard mix, and a lab. I have taken care of dogs from 1 year old shitzhus, 100 lbs boxers, and blind dachshunds. I'm flexible and very excited to hang out with your pets. Let me know how I can help take care of your babies while you're away!

Safety, trust & environment

I have two very friendly dogs who love to make new friends to play with in our fenced yard. Weasley and Roux are crate trained so I can easily crate your pup while I’m at work or I can let them lounge out if they’re trained and used to being able to roam!

Pets

A typical day

We’re homebodies so we spend a lot of our weekends playing in the backyard and doing doggie puzzles to keep the mental stimulation going. I also love taking walks down in Railroad park so I’d be happy to take your pup on a stroll while they’re with me!

16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Shelby can host up to 1 pet per night
Let me know if your dog has a bed of their own that they love or if I can expect them to cuddle up with me at night. It’ll be helpful to know id they’re used to being in the crate during the day or if they’re a free roamer.
