Because I work from home full-time, pet care is seamlessly built into my daily life. I take regular breaks for walks, playtime, meals, and attention. I’m able to quickly respond to anything your pet needs throughout the day or night. I’m not rushing in between jobs—they’re truly my priority.

About Shelby G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, your dog will enjoy a calm, crate-free environment (unless requested by you) where they’re free to roam, relax, and be part of the family. They’ll have access to comfy resting spots, daily exercise, and enrichment, and companionship. I follow all care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding routines, meds, or preferred methods of releasing energy.

Information Shelby G. would like to know about your pet
Tell me what makes your pup them—their routines, quirks, fears, meds, play style, and if they vibe with other dogs. No detail’s too small if it helps them and you feel safe and happy.
A typical day
I match your pets energy—whether they’re a squirrel-chaser or a nap champ. The designated play area where I live allows for fresh water and room to fetch until my arm hurts and my big windows allow for the warmest sun spots. Either way, they’ll have fun and feel loved the whole time.

Pet care experience
I work remotely, which means your pet gets nearly all-day attention, not just check-ins. I truly treat every animal in my care like my own—attentive, loving, and respectful of their unique needs. I’m comfortable with crate training, potty routines, and simple training for puppies. I’m also experienced with senior dogs who need medication, mobility support, or a slower pace.
Reviews
Shelby is a great dog sitter and a great communicator. She took Moira out for multiple walks over the course of each day - we’d highly recommend and will definitely ask her to dog sitter again in the future!
Shelby was great! Very responsive, flexible with our changing schedule, and took great care of our two larger (& pretty excitable) dogs. I would happily hire her again. 10/10.
Shelby has watched my two fur babies and did an excellent job, they both really liked her and that was very important to me. I would recommend Shelby to other pet owners.
I’ve known Shelby for years, and if there’s one thing I can say with complete confidence, it’s that animals love her and the feeling is mutual. She is incredibly responsible, caring, and patient, always going above and beyond to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether it's going for long walks, giving the best belly rubs, or just being a calming presence, Shelby treats every pet like family. I would trust her with my own pets any day, and I know yours will be in amazing hands.
