Home
Information Shelby J. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the temperament and any training needs, as well as medical issues or allergies. Is your pet potty trained, or do they need some help? Do they respond to verbal commands, or a clicker?
A typical day
Walks, playing in the yard, possible river walks, and town tours. I am a big fan of brain training puzzles and make them daily. I also have a dog friendly car, for hikes or such further away.

Pet care experience
I have worked with animals, both large and small, since I was a child. I have experience as a veterinary tech, and I have trained multiple dogs throughout the years. I have also worked at the Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society, both caring for and evaluating animals. I have special needs pet experience, including running IVs, and giving medications (aurally, orally, injections, etc.). I am not squeamish or shy with any animal, and I have the ability to separate animals from my personal pets and give them their own room! There is a cute town that is very dog friendly, trails, parks and water are aplenty!
Cat care experience
Shelby also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Shelby was absolutely fantastic with my Cooper and Coda. She made my time away from home less stressful. Thank you Shelby.
Shelby was very attentive and provided excellent care for our 3 year old Bassethound, Nicholas. I would definitely use her again when I am in the Saratoga area.
