Highlights
Pet care experience
Around the clock ♥️ for your 🐶🐱🐷
I'm home 22 out of 24 hours in the day. I've had at least 4 pets at all times for as long as I can remember. From dogs, to cats, bantam chickens, lop-eared and Angora bunnies, hamsters, African frogs, turtles, to my sweet potbelly pig, Carnita ("Nita"). Life feels fullest when animals are part of my daily routine. Recently, my Nita unexpectedly passed away (10/26/23). She was like a child to me. Although she left behind 1 dog and 2 cats, the house feels much emptier. Buddy, the dog, says he'd love some company to pick up the mood & keep his heart young. 😌

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a small gated community in Vero Beach. My yard is not fenced; however, I can/do leash them up as often as needed for potty breaks and longer walks 1-2x daily (anywhere from 1.5-4 miles each go). I run too. My own dog is a little beyond his running days, so I use a jogger. Depending on your pup's activity level, they could run alongside me, or possibly hitch a ride in the stroller! In Your Home (house sitting or drop ins): I am happy to abide by your current schedule, making the transition of your trip easy on your fur babies. I am also resourceful, and will find the best outdoor fun for them, in the case that they need some fun distractions to tire them out!
Ratings and reviews
Shelby understands the importance of communication and gave our angel the love and support he needed while we were away. He was calm and happy at pickup and upon returning home. We will absolutely be using Shelby again to care for Hoppy Dean♡
I don’t have enough words to describe how wonderful Shelby was with our dog. He loved going back to her during the three days she cared for him. Not only did he loved her we did too 😊 She shared photos throughout the day, kept us informed and lets us know everything he was up too. I’ve never felt more at ease leaving Archie with someone. Shelby is truly an animal lover, with the patience and care that makes all the difference.
Shelby truly loves and wonderfully cares for our 3 dogs. And, they love her!
We had the pleasure of having Shelby babysit our two doggies and we're very very happy with her! She is very professional, caring and tentative and will definitely be using Shelby in the future!
Shelby is wonderful! We appreciate the love and care she shows to our Murphy!
Shelby provided excellent care for my small dog. I definitely will request her again!

Schedule
*In effort to maintain a balanced environment, I require a two (2) night minimum for boarding (2 day min. for daycare)* I work from home; I have plenty of time in-between Zoom calls to love on and attend to your little darlings. Permitting I have a few days notice, I will gladly care for yours during the week & on weekends too.
