Pet care experience

Hello pet owners! I am Shelby (she/her) and I moved to Burlington in 2022. l grew up with a precious Yorkshire Terrier and have experience caring for pets of all sizes and breeds. I have a calm and gentle demeanor, which helps me to gain trust with animals easily, including those who are prone to anxiety. I am happy to accommodate special requests to cater to your specific needs. I am located near Mackintosh Lake in Burlington, but am willing and able to travel to Elon, Gibsonville, Whitsett, Graham, Haw River, and surrounding areas. I love spending quality time caring for pets, as well as assisting with training or developmental goals.

Shelby did an amazing job visiting and caring for our elderly kitty while we were away. She provided daily updates and was a great help. We would absolutely hire her again. This was our first experience on Rover and we were very impressed.

Bailey & I both love Shelby❤️. She takes great care of Bailey while I’m gone: feeds her, brushes her, plays with her, keeps her company and scoops her litter box👍👍. We are so thankful to have found her🙏

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
