Safety, trust & environment

I currently live in an apartment very close to a park with a dog park. It is extremely important to me to follow your instructions and listen carefully to you and your pet’s needs. I do not have a yard in my current home, however I am available to take your fluffy child out on a stroll at any point and time. If I am looking after your pet in your home, my care depends on your instructions and needs of your pet. I always have your animal’s best interest at heart and understand that communication is key.

Information Shelby M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special requirements, behavioural patterns or needs that must be accounted for. I am happy to accommodate and will be honest if I am not equipped to best handle your pet.

A typical day

I understand that each pet has different needs, so I always do whatever means necessary to give them the best possible care. If your dog needs long walks and lots of activity, that is no problem. If your cat is anxious and hides, that’s okay I’ll work to gain their trust, and can provide a calm environment. If your pet has a specific diet, I can follow that. Communicate their needs and I will be sure to provide that.

Pet care experience

Growing up on a ranch gave me the necessary skills required to care for animals. One of the most important aspects of caring for animals is calmness, and giving them space to trust you. At the age of ten, I became the puppy trainer/sitter for several family friends. I taught their dogs the basic recall, sit, and stay, as well as fun tricks like; wave, rollover and bow. Since living in a very rural area limited some access to veterinary aid, ranchers and farmers in our area had to learn some basic techniques and practices to keep their animals healthy. This included deworming horses, birthing cows, bottle feeding, and administering vaccines or medications to sick animals. All of which I had to help with or do while living on the ranch. Since moving to Montreal, I have deeply missed being around animals, and am not yet ready to adopt one but want to help you! Animals bring me so much peace and joy, I hope to have the honour of bringing some joy and peace to you and your pet as well.

I left my two cats with Shelby for a few days and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She was always quick to respond, very accomodating, and just a pleasure to interact with. The cats had a great time too. Thank you Shelby :)

I can’t recommend Shelby enough as a pet sitter and dog walker. She is incredibly reliable and caring with animals. I’ve seen firsthand how patient and responsible she is while looking after my 5 year old dog, Zeus. Any pet owner would be lucky to have someone as trustworthy and compassionate as Shelby to care for their animal.

Shelby is an absolutely wonderful human being and fantastic with animals. I used to have her look after my two Yorkie’s while I was travelling and trusted her to have the security code and keys for my condo. I was not let down. She is a pure soul!
