Pet care experience

I have been taking care of pets through Rover since October 2023. Before that I took care of many dogs, cats, and other animals too as I grew up. I specialize in giving medications, playing with energetic pets and being a calm presence for anxious ones.

Shelby is great! We have had her check in on our pets and now house sit and stay with them. Both times she has been amazing with them and very flexible with their quirks and behaviors when their parents aren’t home. Would recommend her and will use her again in the future!

Shelby was absolutely incredible as our dog sitter. She went above and beyond for us and for our pups in every possible way. Not only was she attentive, communicative, and genuinely caring, but she also stuck with us through what seemed like the worst luck imaginable all week long. Despite facing some fears and dealing with a string of unexpected challenges, Shelby never once gave up or made us feel like our dogs were anything less than her priority. Her patience, resilience, and kindness truly stood out. Knowing our dogs were safe, loved, and cared for so thoughtfully gave us so much peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone so dependable and compassionate. Shelby handled everything with grace, heart, and professionalism, and we are beyond grateful she stayed and saw everything through. We would trust her again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her highly enough. 🩷

Shelby was very communicative and sent me many pictures of my fur babies. She was also very gentle, kind and patient with my puppy.

Shelby is amazing! Very punctual and great at communicating. She did a great job taking care of our cat. She was very open to learning on how to take care of our cat (schedules, meals etc) and was patient with the process.
