Safety, trust & environment

Your pet is my #1 priority when they are in my care! I am comfortable administering medication, handling puppies and high-strung dogs, using crates, and more! I am very open with my communication to pet owners and think it is incredibly important to update you throughout the visits :)

Information Shelby K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about any special needs or behaviors that your dog may have! If your dog is aggressive or nervous towards other people, I would prefer to meet them at least once before a booked visit. If your dog is also aggressive towards other animals, I would prefer to know that so I can be cautious on walks.

A typical day

I love to go on walks, stay on the couch and watch tv, play fetch, and whatever else your pet enjoys! Just let me know what they enjoy, and I would be more than happy to partipate.

Pets

The best choice for pet care!

Pet care experience

I love all animals! I currently have a dog (Sarge) and cat (Momo), plus my family is full of animal lovers. I have been on Rover for 3 years now, and have 2 more years of experience watching my friends, neighbors, and family's pets. I also have past volunteer experience at an animal shelter. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend!

Shelby is a great sitter for our family. I've left several reviews. We are lucky to have her.

Shelby was perfect with our dogs. Kept us well informed and up to date. Our three Great Danes warmed up to her right away and treated her like one of the family right away. Highly recommend using Shelby if you need a sitter, especially if you need in house overnight.

Shelby was amazing! She took very good care of my zoo. Sent plenty of updates, great communication, and I will definitely be asking for her services again in the future!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
