Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. Between caring for my own two cats and dog, I’m used to planning my days around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel loved and secure. Adding your pet to my routine is something I truly enjoy and prioritize. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to work around your pet’s specific needs to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. Please check my calendar for the specific days you need care.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I stick closely to their usual feeding schedules, walk times, play routines, and any special instructions you provide. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. Whether that means long walks, extra playtime, quiet companionship, or administering medication, I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality.

Information Shelby K. would like to know about your pet

Knowing your pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, and any medical needs ahead of time helps me provide the best care possible. I also like to know about their favorite activities, any fears or triggers, and how they do around new people or other animals so I can keep them comfortable, safe, and happy.

A typical day

Depending on their personality and energy level, we’ll enjoy long walks, playtime like fetch and plenty of one-on-one attention. I also like to include enrichment activities like interactive toys or basic training practice to keep pets mentally stimulated. After working at an animal shelter and growing up with pets, I’m very comfortable with animals of different personalities and energy levels, and my goal is always to make them feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

Pet care experience

I’ve worked at an animal shelter for a year and a half, where I gained hands on experience caring for animals of all temperaments and ages. My responsibilities included walking dogs, feeding, cleaning, and safely administering medications when needed. Working in a shelter environment has taught me patience, attention to detail, and how to make animals feel safe and comfortable, even in stressful situations. I also have two cats and a dog of my own, so I understand the level of love, responsibility, and care our pets deserve. I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a true passion of mine. Being around them isn’t just a job to me, it’s something I genuinely love.
