Animal lover with flexible schedule
Pet care experience
With a love of animals that began before I could walk, I began pet sitting in high school. I grew up in a household with at least 3 dogs at all times so I'm extremely comfortable around dogs. In college I emergency fostered for rescue dogs at a local shelter and I continue pet sitting both dogs and cats to this day. Most of my experience is with medium and large dog breeds. I also have experience giving dogs oral medications and working with senior dogs. Because I'm currently in graduate school at GWU (working towards a master of public health in epidemiology), I have an extremely flexible schedule on both weekdays and weekends. I've lived with cats for the last 5 years but have missed having dogs around so I'm looking forward to getting to interact with all breeds and sizes of dogs!
Reviews
Shelby has pet sat for us a few times with our new puppy Lumi. She is always on time and is great with Lumi. I would definitely use her again. She books up in advance so contact her early for house sitting.
Shelby did such a nice job sitting with my dogs all day and keeping an eye on Bell, who had surgery and needed to be watched! Both dogs loved her and I know they are hoping to see her again in the future. Thank you!
Shelby watched our new puppy for three days (a few hours each), she even came by ahead of time for a meet and greet. She was on time, followed our instructions exactly and most importantly was great with our puppy Lumi.
Shelby was great, very responsive and caring towards my dog. I would not hesitate to book her again or refer her to others.

Information Shelby H. would like to know about your pet
I'm open to any and all dog breeds. Before sitting, I would like to know the normal behaviors and activity level of the dog, how they respond to strangers and other dogs, how they behave on a leash, as well as any health conditions I should be aware of.
A typical day
I'll walk dogs in neighborhoods near where the owner lives, and to any parks that are near. We could also go to dog parks, owner-permitting of course.
