Here to pamper your pet

Pet care experience

I have had pets my entire life. I raised 3 dogs since high school. I even know a bit of dog training. I was able to teach my mom, my best friend, and sister’s dogs commands through positive reinforcement training. I even have experience in caring for senior dogs, having raised one dog until the age of 14.

Shelby is awesome. 5 out of 5 stars. She definitely deserves it, she literally came in a clutch moment when an emergency came up with another sitter. She responded in a timely manner, no questions asked and took the task by the horns.

Safety, trust & environment

I have an open lot behind my house where dogs can use the bathroom. Not far from my home is a dog park. My home is pet proof, so dogs and puppies will not able to get into too much trouble. I have all hard, wood floor, so I do have a dog bed dogs can use in the meantime while staying over. I have a Goldendoodle to keep your dog company.

Information Shelby J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what kinds of special accommodations need to be made (if applicable). I have a dog of my own (a 42 pound Goldendoodle) so please advise me if a dog is not friendly towards other dogs.

A typical day

I like to take them to the Ghent dog park to run off some of the energy they have. Ghent is a very walkable area and there are plenty of dog friendly places I enjoy bringing the pups everywhere with me when I go out. I also have an automatic ball dispenser that I let the dogs play with indoors when it’s too cold / hot to play outside.

I currently work part time Thursday through Sunday. I’m free all day Monday through Wednesday. I have my own dog I care for in my free time, so pet sitting only seemed like a side job I would naturally like.
