I’m a floral designer and own my own floral business! So I make my own schedule and have a lot of flexibility. I’m usually available for last minute drop-ins and dog walks! For pet sitting I just ask for a few days notice, but can usually make last minute requests happen for you :)

I have a cat who I absolutely adore. She’s been all over the country with me, right by my side for 11 years! As always, play time is crucial. I’m always looking for ways to keep her stimulated and healthy. She’s totally comfortable around other dogs and does her own thing.

Information Shelby K. would like to know about your pet

I’m pretty good at getting familiar with a new dog, but obviously their owners know best! It’s important for me to know if they get aggressive and if so, what things trigger that aggression and what helps make them feel calm and safe. I also like to know if they chew on things so that I can put items up and out of their reach.

A typical day

It’s important when I’m with the dogs that I’m caring for that they get lots of attention and exercise. I like to engage in working on tricks, fetch, and other playful activities to let them know they can trust me and feel comfortable around me! I am a huge snuggler, I don’t mind dogs jumping on me, and I will always let them lick my face! Dogs are our best friends and bring us so much joy and happiness, it’s important that we make them feel as loved as they make us feel. Long walks are crucial to insure good exercise, fresh air, and of course number one AND and number two! That’s a walk well done. I always try to pick a shady route for the dogs if it’s a super hot day.

Pet care experience

I’ve been traveling the country for the last 10 years and have lived all over! My favorite job during all of that was being a dog walker and pet sitter. I’ve met so many special animals and I take caring for them very seriously! Excited to be back in Phoenix and hang out with your pets!

Shelby was very attentive to my cat babies. They are very shy and take awhile to warm up to people and she worked very hard to make them comfortable. She fave me great updates as well.
