Animal lover, Flexible schedule

Pet care experience

I’m 23 and currently located in North Ridgeville. I have a few family pets but one cat of my own. I am open to any breed or size of animal. I’m available on very short notice and I have experience taking care of many different sizes of dogs. I’m also able to perform other tasks if needed ie. bathing pets, vet trips, household chores, laundry and almost anything else you can think of (for an additional cost). I am a college student at LCCC where I do the university partnership and study marine biology and environmental studies. To say I love animals is an understatement. I want to provide your pet with as much love and care as possible and I would love to be your family’s trusted pet sitter!

Shelby did awesome with our dogs and cats. He made it so we could enjoy our vaca time without worrying about how our pets were doing. We received great pics of them throughout the trip and would absolutely leave our fur kids with Shelby again. He was awesome!

Shelby is an AMAZING pet sitter. We have 2 young dogs (a 5 month old and a 1.5 year old puppy) and 2 cats, and they all have a lot of energy. Shelby took fantastic care of them and made sure to play with them, take them on plenty of walks and adventures, cuddle them, and tend to their individual needs. He stayed in our house with all 4 of our pets while we were out of town for 4 days and made us feel so at peace about the care of our animals. He also sent us plenty of photo updates which was very welcome!! I would trust him 100% with all of my current and future furbabies.

I will only do what you are comfortable with me doing ie. talking your dog on walks, going to the dog park. Please don’t hesitate to tell me what you’re comfortable with. I want you to be able to be stress free while I care for your pets. I will do my best to make sure to follow whatever instructions you leave me with to care for your pet. I want to make sure that they are just as happy as you are. Please provide me with specific details on how to care for your pet. I promise that the more I know the better.

Information Shelby K. would like to know about your pet

Please be upfront about your animals needs and behaviors. Does your dog need medication? What circumstances may upset or scare your dog? Is your dog reactive to other dogs or people? Does your dog pull while walking and if so how do I control it? Does your dog have special meal times or a specific location they eat in? Are there sounds that are triggering or upsetting to your dog? How do you handle “bad” behavior and how do you reward good behaviors? If you are open and honest then I am able to provide the best possible care for your pets, I promise that you cannot give me too much detail on how to care for your pet. If you feel more comfortable writing out a detailed description of how to care for you pet please feel free to do so, it is very helpful to me as well and it helps me to not have to bother you with questions as much. Please make sure that if you have more than one pet that you would like me to care for you have each individual pet listed and how to care for them. Please have vets and pictures of animals updated on your profile so I’m able to plan appropriately.

A typical day

I love to simulate a typical day that you would spend with your pets. I will only do thing you are comfortable with so if that includes, dog parks, walks, trips to the beach, rides in the car please feel free to tell me. I’d love to make sure your pet is happy for as long as I am with them and I would like you to feel like they’re enjoying themselves as well.

Availability

All pets for house sitting must be okay with being alone for at least 8 hours at a time while I am at my full time job. The house sitting price reflects a 10-12 hour overnight cost (depending on current availability) and one 30 minute drop in directly after work (around 6:45pm). Please note that if your pet(s) require around the clock care Monday-Friday, I will be unable to accommodate that due to my full time work schedule. Drop ins and other requests are considered on a case by case basis as I may be able to drop in on a lunch break if your home is close enough to my job. The more notice (for weekend requests) the better as I tend to travel on weekends.
