Responsible, Reliable Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I became a pet sitter so I can help people take the best care of their pups when they can't physically be there. I know how important it is to have stability and have someone reliable to watch over your beloved friends, and I just want to be that person! I know the stress that comes with having to leave your pup at home while you’re away, so I’m happy to help alleviate that difficulty altogether and make sure that both you and your pup are completely well taken care of! I’ve always been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with three dogs, one cat, and two ferrets when I was younger and loved every minute of it! As an adult, I have two dogs of my own right now. Iggy is my wonderful doofy two-year-old Corgi and Dandy is the sweetest six-year-old pup you’ll ever meet. Getting to raise them has been a great experience, and we always love to bring new friends into the family! For me, a great stay begins long before your pup comes under my care. I like to have a meet and greet with potential clients and their pup to discuss their individual needs and make sure that we are a good fit together. I have a list of questions I would like my clients to fill out on our initial meeting. That way I have a reference and can provide the most quality care for their pet. I am very easy to get ahold of. I love sending photo updates, having play dates, cuddling, playing fetch, walking, jogging --whatever you need! Setting a schedule and your pup and their needs is the name of my game. Although I’m happy to take in any suggestions, I’m happy to stick to the schedule that they’re used to at home. I would make sure to feed them at the designated times and give them a nice long walk in the morning when it's cool outside. I'd make sure your pup has lots of attention and cuddles and provide potty breaks when needed. I'll reward them for good behavior and exercise familiar commands for fun. I have a very flexible schedule and I am willing to work with owners to provide the best services and care you can get!

Shelby has always been a very responsible and caring individual, I've had many pets throughout our friendship and she has always handled them with absolute care and affection. I used to have pet ducks and Shelby helped me take them to the river to swim on a regular basis. She would help me get them in the car, take them out and would even help me bathe and feed them afterwards! Shelby has two dogs of her own and had a cat for 12+ years named Kitty that she took the absolute best care of. I would absolutely let Shelby pet-sit for me at any time, she is a fun, dependable and loving person all around.

Shelby Lloyd, is a benevolent soul. Shelby has a inherent warmth that animals connect to. My dog Lizard, does not take kindly to most people but loves Shelby. He has severe anxiety issues,Shelby knew to gradually and respectfully approach him. At the end of their visit he cried when she left! I highly recommend Shelby, she is professional, punctual, and earnest..

Shelby is my fiance. She is one of the most thoughtful people I have ever met when it comes to caring for animals. She is both sweet and responsible so you know your furry friend will be loved and safe.

Information Shelby L. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog house broken or crate trained? Do they get along with other dogs? Does your pet have any behavioral issues I should be aware of? (Food aggression ect) Does your pet like to be picked up? Does your pet have any "off limits" spots? (Sensitive to ear rubs, belly rubs, doesn't like to be pet much?) Do they have bad separation anxiety? Does your dog have an eating regiment or walking schedule? Does your dog have a strict diet? Are there certain treats they should not eat? Is your dog allowed to be off leash (at parks)? Does your pet require a lot of exercise or do they get tired quickly? Do they have a favorite toy? Does your dog take medication?

A typical day

I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m happy to meet your pup at their level. I like to stay active, so we’ll make sure to have plenty of opportunities to head out on walks and get exercise together. I always enjoy exploring new neighborhoods and trails. I love going to Zilker Park and the Boardwalk, which are perfect to take pups for some off-leash playtime and swimming if it’s not too cold! I’m also happy to spend some quality time at home with pups that are a bit more on the easygoing side, so we’ll have plenty of opportunity to cuddle and catch up on Netflix together.
