Full time nurse & animal lover
Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Shelby!! I am an ICU nurse at UW and a huge dog/pet lover. I have 25+ years experience with all different sizes, ages, breeds, and temperaments of animals. Growing up around cats, dogs, birds, horses, and hamsters, I’ve had plenty of exposure and experience caring for all types of pets. I love petting, walking, and even running with animals to give them both the affection and exercise they need. Ive walked/sat animals all over the country while i was a travel nurse so Im very familiar with the process. I have a large fenced in yard and live near many big parks. In addition, I am willing to do pick-ups and drop-offs and administer any type of medication your pet may need (perks of being a nurse). I would love to be able to spend my free time caring for your pets while you’re away. I work three 12 hour shifts with 4 days off each week. Although my schedule may vary week to week, having 4 free days allows me a lot of flexibility with my free time. Just like I care for patients as if they were my family, I care for pets as if they were my own! I think like humans, every animal has unique experiences that molded them into the pet they are. With those experiences each pet has different needs and should be cared for with love and patience.
Reviews
Shelby did an amazing job keep our hyper energetic golden retriever happy and safe. Our dog came home exhausted and satisfied. I can only imagine the amazing day he must had with Shelby. Recommend Shelby to anyone looking for next level daycare experience for their dogs.
I recently hired a dog sitter for my furry friends and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Not only did they take excellent care of the dogs, but they also went above and beyond what was asked of them. They made sure the pups were comfortable and happy at all times and even left a detailed report of their visit. I would highly recommend this dog sitter to anyone looking for someone who truly cares for their pets, 5 star rating all the way!
Literally the best!! Our other sitter cancelled last minute and Shelby was absolutely amazing, our pup had a great time over the holiday!!
Shelby was great! We just used her for the first time and my border collie returned happy and ready for a nap! I loved the modeling photos she took of Mia around downtown as well! We will definitely use Shelby again!

Information shelby k. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know how much time you spend with or away from your dog! Their activity level, any prescriptions your god may take, and just their general day to day routine.
A typical day
A typical day dog sitting for me would be- a walk or play in the yard first thing in the morning, followed by some commands and a treat. Breakfast and some downtime while I get myself ready for the day. A visit to the nearest park (my favorite being tanner landing park) or if your pup is up for it- a hike up little si trail! At the end of the day is dinner and some downtime. Followed by yard play, treats, meds if applicable, and bed/crate depending on what your dog is used to. On days I work a long shift, I ask my mom (who i share a yard with and is my next door neighbor) to walk/check in on your pet and have my boyfriend walk and watch them in the evening.
