Pet care experience

Home is where the dog is.

As a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. My golden retriever, Scout, has taught me firsthand that every dog deserves patience, attention, exercise, and lots of love. Whether your pup is energetic and adventure-loving or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to tailor their care to their individual needs. I enjoy daily walks, outdoor time, play sessions, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I know how hard it can be to be separated from your furry family member, which is why I’m always happy to provide regular updates, photos, videos, and messages so you can have peace of mind throughout the day. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and cared for. I genuinely love dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I would be honored to provide reliable, attentive care that makes your experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and burn off energy under supervision. I also share my home with Scout, my friendly golden retriever, who loves making new friends and gets along wonderfully with people, dogs, cats, and other animals. I have experience caring for pets with a variety of needs, including separation anxiety, senior care, medication administration, and injectable medications. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to provide a calm, cozy, and stress-free environment where your pet is treated like family. Whether your furry friend needs extra attention, playtime, cuddles, or specialized care, you can trust that they will be in caring and capable hands.

Shelby was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we met her, we knew Bella and Bailey were going to be in great hands. She took excellent care of our girls, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. As an added bonus, her sweet dog, Scout, got along great with Bella and Bailey. Shelby also took great care of our home, leaving everything clean and just as we left it. We couldn’t have asked for a better house and dog sitter. We would absolutely book Shelby again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!

Shelby was wonderful to work with! She took Axel on daily walks and sent us lots of pictures and videos keeping up comforted that Axel was safe and happy while we were away. I will definitely use Shelby as our sitter again and highly recommend her to anyone else.

Shelby was amazing in taking care of my two golden retrievers! She sent us pictures and videos each day and they came back smelling so good! Would 100% recommend Shelby to watch your fur babies.

Shelby was awesome! Luke enjoyed his stay with her and Scout. She was so communicative and was super awesome when we had some travel delays. Loved getting all the pictures and sweet messages over the few days. Felt so at ease and knew our boy was in the bestest of hands. Luke will be back!
