Pet care experience

Trusted Care for Busy Pet Parents

I am detail oriented, professional, and reliable. I provide personalized, attentive pet care—never a one-size-fits-all approach. Every animal has their own personality and needs, so I tailor their routine to what makes them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. You can expect regular updates, photos, and check-ins (unless you prefer otherwise) so you always feel connected and reassured while you're away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I follow all owner instructions closely, whether it’s walk schedules, fenced-yard playtime, crate routines, furniture rules, or how your pet is to be left when I’m out. Your pet’s wellbeing and your peace of mind are my top priorities.

House Sitting • Dec 09, 2025

She was great with the kitty and the pup we have. Very patient with my scared pitty. Would have her return!

Shelby has pet sat for us numerous times over the years! She is absolutely amazing and trustworthy! She is an extremely respectful house guest and genuinely loves hanging out with our fur babies! My mind is always at ease when I know she is watching our pups. She takes care of them as if they were her own. If you want someone reliable, trustworthy, and someone you can count on; this is your person!

We wholeheartedly recommend Shelby as a truly exceptional pet caregiver. She isn't just reliable and prompt; she is incredibly attentive and follows every single one of our detailed care instructions perfectly, giving us total peace of mind while we're away. What really sets her apart is her willingness to go the extra mile, often spending quality time playing with our cats to ensure they are mentally stimulated and happy. She has a deep, genuine love for animals, both cats and dogs, and makes their comfort and safety her top priority. Her dedication is evident: we always receive prompt, detailed updates, and upon our return, our cats are clearly content, relaxed, and completely stress-free. Shelby's care is simply the best!

It’s important to know a pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, behavior quirks, comfort levels, preferred activities, and any triggers or fears. I also like to know how they do with other animals, strangers, and being alone, as well as house rules—like furniture preferences, crate routines, and treat limits—so I can keep them safe, happy, and consistent with their normal routine.
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.
