Information Shelby J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if your pet has any specials needs, medications, or behavioral issues. This is extremely important for my safety and the safety of your pet.

A typical day

Typically for dogs I take them on a 30 minute walk and refresh their water (and food/meds as per the owners instructions). I will also play with the dog if there are toys available. For cats, I will refresh the food, water, and litter box and play with them. I especially enjoy watching them swat around toys on strings or chasing balls.

Pet care experience

I've had and cared for a wide variety of animals, and I absolutely adore all of them! I grew up with a whole host of pets (dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, etc.). I also have experience caring for chickens, reptiles, special needs pets, elderly animals, and puppies. I love exotic animals (snakes, lizards, birds, etc.) as long as I am given detailed instructions on what to do (just list them as a cat on Rover).

My kitties love their visits with Shelby! I love knowing she will be visiting my babies while we’re away because I know they will be in good hands. Shelby takes great pictures and always fills me in on how the visit goes. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect companion for your pet while you’re away.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
