Shelby was wonderful during a multi-week stay at my home taking care of my little cat. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. ?? I'd be very happy to have Shelby watch Mayo again when/if the need arises.

Shelby was just what we needed. She came and met the pets prior to us leaving a couple times so the pets were comfortable with her. She sent multiple updates during the day and lots and lots of pictures. She communicated very well and I felt very at ease leaving my fur babies in her very capable hands! She was very respect to my home and neighbors. I will for sure use her services in the future.

I am so happy we hired Shelby to stay with our pets while we were out of town. Shelby came over a couple of times before we left on our trip to familiarize herself with the pets and so we could get to know her. I have one dog who doesn’t know a stranger, and another who is very shy. Shelby was so patient and caring that w/i the day my shy boy was warmed up and cuddling with her. She always kept me updated on the plans of the day and sent lots of pictures. Not only was she amazing with the pets, but also did a light cleaning before she left her house. I will definitely be using Shelby in the future.

We had a planned trip with family and contacted Shelby to care for our cat, dog and our house. She came by for a meet and greet that convinced us that we had made a great choice. While we were away she sent us updates and pictures showing how well things were going. When we arrived home the house was immaculate and our babies were happy. She even left a nice gift. When we leave again Shelby will be at the top of our list to house sit for us again.

Before any visit, I love getting to know the details that make your pet them. The more I know, the better I can keep them safe, happy, and in their groove! It’s super helpful to know about: • Allergies or health concerns – anything from food sensitivities to medications or environmental triggers. • Typical behaviors – how they usually act at home, on walks, or around new people, animals, or situations. • Play and toy preferences – do they love a game of tug, chase a favorite ball, or prefer a puzzle toy to work their brain? • Energy level and routines – are they early risers or late snoozers? Do they love long walks or just a quick sniff around the block? All of this helps me make every visit feel familiar, fun, and tailored to your pet’s needs—just the way they like it!
