Highlights
Pet care experience
Nurse, animal lover, cat whisperer!
I always had dogs growing up and have experience in veterinary medicine. I now work as a Registered Nurse. I am a cat mom to 2 sweet girls and I often pet sit for friends and family. I have experience with cats, dogs, and senior pets. I am comfortable giving all types of medications. I was a dog groomer for about 3 years while I was in nursing school, and groomed my own dogs growing up. My priority is making sure pets feel loved and are entertained while you are away!

Safety, trust & environment
I prefer to care for pets in their own home. I find that especially with cats, they are much more comfortable in their home where they feel safe. I prioritize stimulation and comfort so that your baby isn’t bored while you are away! I am familiar with special diets, medication administration, pet grooming, and senior care.
Ratings and reviews
Shelby was amazing with my cat! She’s professional, kind, and attentive. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands, and I can’t wait to book her again. Thank you so much, Shelby!
Shelby was such a great cat sitter! She booked on short notice and took excellent care of my boy
Shelby was great! Very punctual and took great care of our pups!
Shelby has watched my wife and i’s cat Fred on numerous occasions with very little notice and has always been understanding of his needs as well as our own within our home. She always takes time to make sure Fred is not only fed and cleaned up after; but that he is also shown affection and given pets so that he can be more comfortable on days that we can’t be there with him. Shelby does an awesome job and you can really tell she loves the animals she is caring for! I can’t recommend her enough!
I can't recommend Shelby enough! She has been caring for my family's pets for years, and there is no one we trust more. She truly treats every pet as if they were her own, and it's such a comfort knowing they're in loving, capable hands. One of the biggest reasons we always feel at ease is her background. She worked at a veterinary office and is now a registered nurse, so she has an incredible eye for noticing when something might be off and always knows how to handle situations calmly and responsibly. Over the years, she's also been our go to person whenever we've had questions or concerns about our pets, and her advice has always been thoughtful and reassuring. She's dependable, compassionate, communicative, and genuinely loves animals. Our pets are always excited to see her, and we never have to worry when we're away. If you're looking for someone who will care for your pets like family, I wholeheartedly recommend Shelby.
Shelby, is an amazing pet sitter! My dog Jackson loves when she comes over and takes him for walks! She goes above and beyond, and even spends extra time playing ball with him.
