Fenced in yard - lover of all dogs!
Pet care experience
Hi - I'm Shelby! I've lived and worked with dogs for many years, including as a supervisor in a doggie daycare facility. I've become the go-to dog sitter for my friends and family over time, and I absolutely love working with and being around dogs of all shapes and sizes. I'm experienced with seniors, anxious rescues, pups with plenty of energy, and those with medical necessities. My dogs are spoiled rotten and yours would be, too (unless you tell me otherwise, of course). My favorite times of the day are relaxing outside with the pups and their doggie pool, or getting some excellent dog cuddles on the couch. While taking care of your dogs, their safety and well-being are my top priority. I'd love to show that I will go above and beyond your expectations. I'm available full-time while I'm finishing my dissertation from home in Opelika, and would be happy to update you with photos, video, or anything else that would bring you peace of mind.
Reviews
Shelby has been just awesome with Huggs! She’s got such a kind and energetic personality and Huggs felt it immediately. She brings him home happy and tired and that’s all I want:) I will continue to hire her.
Shelby was fantastic with our two dogs! I loved that she sent daily updates and photos. Our dogs loved her and we will definitely be asking for her help in the future!!!
Did great with Elvis! Very accommodating. Came and let him out to play and potty while we were away at the football game. She came and met both of our dogs before hand and they loved her! Will definitely use Shelby again!
Shelby is awesome and Angus loved hanging out with her for several hours over the course of two days while we were in town getting a house ready for an 85th birthday party. Just figured it would be easier to have Angus away while so much was going on. Shelby took great care of our big boy and he came back in an awesome mood! She even sent us pictures and updates on how he was doing and how he impressed her with his Frisbee catching abilities! Shelby instantly became part of our family and even came in to wish Momma Joan a happy birthday! Thanks Shelby for being a big sis to Angus for two days!

Information Shelby H. would like to know about your pet
I'd love to know what little things you do with your dog to make them happy that I can do with them, too! Do you do anything special to get them excited for a walk or for snuggles? Do they love tug-of-war, or do they prefer fetch? I want your pup to be as comfortable as possible while mom/dad are gone. :) If a dog is going to be staying with me regularly or for an extended period of time, it's critical for me to know how they get along with my dogs. I will try to make any meet and greet go as smoothly as possible, but one of my dogs can be picky. This means that knowing in advance how my client's dogs behave when meeting new friends is very important.
A typical day
Our house is settled in a wonderful, quiet neighborhood. There are plenty of areas to walk, a large fenced in backyard for running, playing, fetch, and a tiny puppy pool.
