I’ll bring your dog on long walks

Pet care experience

I love to bring dogs swimming (if they love the water). Ill bring them on long walks, or runs. I am avaiable in the mornings for dog walking. I have been house sitting for my aunt and her dog for about 5 years now. I make sure that I am there for the anything that the dogs needs. Feeding on time, bringing them out for bathroom breaks, and making sure they get enough exercise. Over the years, I have owned a small range of dogs, from a Miniature Pincher to three Great Danes at a time. I have experience taking care of Labs, Golden Retrievers, German Sheppards, Rottweilers, and many more. I absolutely adore all animals but especially dogs, I am currently going to school to become a veterinarian.

Shelby is simply amazing. I live one town over from her. She watched my flock for 6 days while I was off on business. I have a senior lab, a 70lb tortoise, and an extremely aggressive rescue mule that lives in my back yard with a few ducks, chickens, and turkeys. Shelby feed and watered all the animals just as requested and even got the senior dog to take all his meds regularly. The tort was even given a bath! Shelby was the first person to make friends with my mule as even I have yet to consentinly touch him. She gave him ear scratches and everything. I would give her the mule if she was in a position to take him. The birds were all perfect. Couldn't give higher praises. Can't believe she is the most affordable animal sitter help I can find in my area. Will use her every single time!

Shelby came everyday and did the basics for my dogs. She made sure they were fed and had water. I made it clear my dogs needed walks everyday. She only walked them a couple of times during her 8 days. I had to call her out on walking them and on her last day she took them out on a decent walk. Luckily I have cameras and was able to check in every now and then but it was very concerning to me that I had to advocate for something I made clear when we met. I paid good money to not even get the bare minimum. I will not use her again.

We are very glad we found Shelby, she does have a big heart for animals. We came home to a very happy dog. Will definitely use her services again.

Shelby loves all pets. She is compassionate and caring. She takes extraordinary care of all of her own pets. She would make an excellent dog sitter for anyone’s dog. She is kind and and nurturing. Your pet would be in good hands with Shelby. They might never want her to leave.

Information Shelby M. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed preferences. I would like to know what kind of activities does the dog like to do, and if they have any sort of particulars. (For example: if a bigger dog doesn’t like small dogs.)

A typical day

Depending on where the dog is located, I will bring them for walks either around their neighborhood or to a local park. If the dog likes to swim, I can bring them to a lake or pond to go swimming.
