I love animals more than anything!
Pet care experience
I have had animals longer than I can remember. My grandmother rescued and fostered all types of animals. My dad, at one point, had 5 birds that I helped care for as well as 3 dogs and 5 cats. My current roommate and best friend got her first puppy when she was 16 and while she attended nursing school during the summer I went to her house every day to let her puppy out and play with her for hours. When we turned 18 we got an apartment and then I adopted my own dog in 2020. I rescued her from a very unfortunate situation when she was 1 year old. She was quite the handful as she is a very high energy breed. But I put the work in and now she’s an angel! And trust me, it is not easy to train a fully grown 50 pound dog. My roommate then went on to get 2 German shepherd puppies 18 months apart. While she went to work during the day I was at home with her puppies potty training, crate training and obedience training. Although they are not technically my dogs, I love them as my own. We now live in a house with “our” 4 dogs and their training continues every day. I am well versed in handling and walking reactive strong dogs as well as dog aggression, resource guarding and puppy training. Additionally, I am very adaptable and take directions well. If there are any special instructions to caring for your fur baby, just let me know!
About Shelby J.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Our 2 German Shepherds are crated when no one is home, and Lucy (my dog) and Bella (my roommates oldest dog) are left out. We have 4 people living here with overlapping schedules so they are never left alone for very long, if at all. We have a fenced yard. All of our dogs are up to date on their shots and receive monthly flea, tick and heartworm medication as well as all being spayed. I will not be able to board other animals at my home as not all of my dogs are animal friendly.
Information Shelby J. would like to know about your pet
I am very adaptable, so just let me know if there are any specific or special needs your fur babies have. I just need an instruction list one time and I’ll remember. I don’t have any breed preferences, I love them all! I will however ask to be warned ahead of time if your dog has any fleas or anything else so I can be prepared and not carry anything home to my dogs :)
A typical day
I love to play fetch and tug! All of our dogs play with us, so basically whatever activity your dogs enjoy I am all for it! If there are any particular preferences just let me know!
