6 years of animal care experience!

Pet care experience

I worked at multiple dog daycares and dog walking companies while I was living in Chicago a couple years ago! I paused my services with Rover while I was moving to Iowa and now that i have my duplex and a fenced yard, I thought it’d be fun to take care of more dogs, like I’m used to! I’ve had multiple dogs for about 6 years! The only one i have now is my corgi/chihuahua mix! My pictures are a mix of my dogs, (pug, chug, and corgi mix) and of my clients! I'm super comfortable walking and taking care of any size dog. I can administer medications, such as eye drops, ear drops, injections, and edible. I always carry at least 1 roll of dog bags, accidents happen and that's okay! Getting to know all kinds of dogs has really opened up my mind and heart to wanting to work with animals full time. In a couple of years I'd like to be a veterinarian!

Shelby was very friendly, helpful, immediately available and organized. She was very kind and Simba had a great experience with her! She takes the extra mile to make sure your pet is happy :) Thank you Shelby!
