Pet care experience

Neighborhood Cat Lady

I've had many different types of animals as pets my whole life. One of my first jobs was working at a doggie day care and kennel. I worked with a broad range of dogs. I got to work with their trainer and groomer. I bathed the dogs often to prepare them for the groomer. I cared for the dogs in the kennel and worked the day shifts at the day care. Then I moved to South Korea and worked at a cat shelter there for about a year. I cared for the cats there as well as worked with potential adopters. We had many types of cats. I fostered some of the elderly and special needs cats. I gave the cats their medication and worked with the more aggressive cats to get them socialized. I also have experience with bottle baby kittens. I fostered two separate litters. I am comfortable with all types of cats, from kittens to elderly cats. I have a turtle and grew up with a pet newt and guinea pigs, so I don't discriminate when it comes to pet care. I love many different types of animals.

We felt very reassured going out of town knowing Shelby was keeping an eye on our cat. He is shy, but became comfortable with her quickly. She provided thorough care and daily updates. We will use her again.

Shelby was fantastic with my two cats. This was my first time leaving them with a sitter, and she made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable. She was thoughtful, responsive, reliable, and kept me updated throughout the visits. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave to both cats and their routines. I had a great experience and will definitely be working with Shelby again.
