Information Shelby M. would like to know about your pet

If there is anything specific that your dog does or doesnt like, just let me know and I can accommodate. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible in my space!

A typical day

I love a morning walk to Central Park! For a lunch time walk I am just a five minute walk to Carl Schurz park. I have plenty of dog toys for any pup to play with throughout the day. I have a fairly good amount of space in my apartment so can easily fit a dog bed/water and food bowls/toys…

Shelby was so great! Really responsive, sent lots of updates and I can tell Reagy had a good day with her. He came home happy and sleepy. Will definitely be using Shelby again!

I have known Shelby as a close family friend for the last 20 years and have also been her neighbor for the last 5 years. Shelby has personally for my own 5 year old cavapoo, Rosie, on multiple occasions including overnight stays and regular walks and I can confidently recommend her as a dog walker and pet sitter. Every time Shelby has cared for Rosie, she has been incredibly responsible, attentive, and caring. I always feel completely comfortable leaving Rosie in her care because I know my pet will be safe, well looked after, and genuinely loved. What stands out most is how communicative and reliable she is. She consistently provides updates, responds promptly, and takes the time to make sure both Rosie and myself feel comfortable. She is also exceptionally friendly, patient, and trustworthy. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable dog walker or sitter. Any pet would be lucky to spend time with her, and any owner can feel confident knowing their furry family member is in excellent hands.

Shelby is very reliable and very good with dogs! My dog Jackson is a larger dog and is very comfortable spending weekends at her apartment!
