About Shelby K.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have plenty of space in my room that is more tailored for smaller pets but offers safety, comfort, and plenty of parks nearby! I prioritize attention and patience while taking care of any animal in order to understand their behavior and anticipate their needs. I make sure the pets I care for have access to clean and fresh drinking water at all times and make sure they are mentally stimulated with lots of fun play time, as needed!
Information Shelby K. would like to know about your pet
Any info you can give me about your pet is helpful! Whether it is about any special needs that your dog needs, what they may respond positively or negatively to, or just some information about their personality and temperament. Additionally, please let me know if they have any allergies/foods they cannot eat. Any and all information will help me know your furry friend better in order to provide the best possible care!
A typical day
I love to keep things simple with enjoying the famously classic walk around the park. Fun stuff like exploring lots of new smells, puzzle games, and staying active with exercise are some of the core activities I like to with the dogs I watch!

Reviews

Shelby was great with our pup Amaro! Highly recommend, and we’ll be requesting her services again in the future.

Shelby took such great care of our dog and our apartment! She really went above and beyond taking care of our place and was so loving with our dog. 10/10 would book again!!

Shelby is great! She took care of my dog while we were away for a week. She shared updates and was quick to communicate throughout the week. My dog needed some medication and Shelby was able to keep a close eye on her throughout the week. Also our flight was cancelled and Shelby was able to stay an extra night which was a huge help!! Shelby was great with Dolly and I’d definitely hire her next time we’re away!

Shelby was fantastic! She was super communicative, took fabulous care of cricket from both a safety and love perspective, and left my home immaculate. we'll definitely be seeing her again!
