Pet care experience
My partner and I moved to Minneapolis in fall of 2020 from a few years living in Western Massachusetts. I am a Minnesota native and am so excited to be back in the mini apple! I had lived in NYC for 11 years and it was time to move on from the big city lifestyle. While there I spent just under 5 years working for HouseBroken, NYC becoming their lead dog walker and a Pet Care Specialist. After that I opened a small vintage boutique in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY while still maintaining a small dog and cat sitting service. The shop was operational from 2011 to 2015, after which I went back to dog walking and pet sitting through Wag! and Dog Vacay(now Rover) full time. After a long hiatus from pet care I recently reactivated my Rover account and am excited to get back into taking care of all the pets in need of loving, at home care. I firmly believe in positive reinforcement and will strive to keep your pets day to day experience as close to what they receive at home as possible. I think this journey has made me realize that working with pets is a big calling in my life, and I am so excited to get back into it!
Reviews
Shelby was great! She sent us photos and kept us up to date on our pups who looked happy and well taken care of. Would highly recommend Shelby to others looking for help with their pet.
Shelby is the bomb.com: I left my chihuahua in the care of her and her husband, and they did a wonderful job. With Shelby, I got daily feedback and pictures to assure he was loving life. I appreciated how she took time at the beginning of the visit to ask questions and understand what he needed. Thanks Shelby!
My dog did so wonderfully with Shelby. I got a bunch of updates throughout the weekend and could tell my normally shy, scared dog had really warmed up to Shelby. Absolutely recommend!
Shelby was great with Charlie! He's a very shy dog, so we always worry when leaving him, but he seemed to get along with Shelby pretty quickly. Shelby is very responsive over text and I definitely recommend her!

Please provide their daily routine, any medical concerns or medication administration info, and emergency contacts both personal and veterinary. I also like to get a good idea of their behavior in regards to people and other dogs/pets they may encounter during our visit!
A typical day
Weather permitting I love to go on at least one good long walk per day to get your dog the stimulation they need as well as as many bathroom breaks as they are used to. If there is a yard available a little fetch and playtime can be expected too!

I currently have an active vintage shop on Etsy and pick up the occasional pet sitting gig as I am preparing to go back to school full time in the fall to get my associates degree in the field of psychology.
