Animal lovers that want to help!
Pet care experience
My name is Shelby and my fiancees name is Savannah. This is my pet sitting profile and I am typically the lead when pet/house sitting but my fiancee will typically stay with me, as long as my clients are comfortable with it. We are both reliable, flexible animal lovers who really find joy in helping people feel comfortable when they have to leave their pets at home during an out of town trip. I (Shelby) have been worked as a veterinary assistant for nearly five years - hence why my nightly rate can be on the higher end due to my experience. I am comfortable medicating - both orally and injections, dealing with puppies, seniors or sick pets, and grooming. I have tons of animal experience and believe I would be a great fit for you and your furry babes. I am currently not working in the veterinary field because I am a full time student at ODU to pursue my dream to become a veterinarian. \ Savannah is a full time student as well working to be a part of the human medical field. She currently works at starbucks which allows her schedule to be very flexible. We are very prompt, flexible and open to work with any of your needs, and active - so we can all go on very long walks (if you pup likes it). I also will always keep you in the loop with lots of selfies and cute pictures with your babies! I (we) do only offer in-your-home sitting/care, as our cats can be a little iffy with other animals and a lot of the time, I find that your pets are more comfortable on their own turf. I am also comfortable caring for cats or other exotic pets in your home as well! We are both very flexible as far as our schedules because we operate on completely opposite schedules so we can almost always meet your needs, whether it be overnight care, daily afternoon walks/feedings, a 1 mile weekly walk/run, or whatever else we can come up with as a team!
Reviews
Shelby was awesome! My boys were well cared for and I think the house looked better than when I left it! It's always nerve-wracking leaving a stranger alone in your home, but Shelby made us feel comfortable and she did a great job. I'd hire her again in a heartbeat and would recommend her without reservation.
Shelby was wonderful! We trusted her in our home and with our fur babies. She took great care of them and sent several updates. We already have her rebooked for another trip this month! Thanks, Shelby!❤️
Shelby came and met with my partner and I in our home and met the pups. We immediately knew that she was the one we felt comfortable with to have her staying in our home and watching our pride and joys; Buddy, Dooley and Gunner. She was very prompt and on time and does everything she says she is going to do. We felt 100% comfortable. Although our first time was only one night, we could have been gone for a week and still feel at ease. We received pictures and updates of the boys and returned home to somewhat of a report card for them and printed pictures. We were pleasantly surprised with our experience, as this is the first time we have done this. Well, lucky for us, we found the perfect person on the first try. She’s our go-to and she could be yours too. She’s very dependable and very flexible. We have already scheduled more overnights!
Shelby was fantastic!! She was so friendly, warm , and responsible! Our hearts were at ease knowing we had someone so loving to be with our sweet guy. We could tell how happy he was when we got home! We'd call her again in a heartbeat.

Skills
Information Shelby K. would like to know about your pet
I love any and all kinds of dogs, so no breed or size preferences here! If your dog likes any special treats or activities, that'd be useful for me to know. If your dogs has any fears (thunderstorms, mailman, fireworks, etc). If your dog takes any regular medications or has any known health issues/allergies.
A typical day
We can take dogs to dog parks across the city or take them to any local parks. Or my favorite, we could go to first landing or a farmers market to get some exercise and socialization (and maybe a doggy treat from somewhere special!!). If that is not your dogs speed, I can put on their favorite movie and enjoy some sweet cuddles on the couch for hours on end.
