Leave your pet in safe, loving hand

Pet care experience

I have taken care of animals of all types from a young age, as I grew up in a farm like environment. I’ve owned many dogs growing up along with cats and have worked with a multitude of breeds. From Pitbulls to Shiba Inus to Collies and Corgi’s. Small and large, I adore them all. I currently have a very hyper Australian shepherd puppy of my own that I’m working to train. Animals are a passion of mine, and I aspire to go on into Veterinary Sciences when I join college in the upcoming years. Your pet will always be in safe hands with me, and I will do everything in my capability to keep your pets as happy as pawsible :) I’m currently working a part time job however I am flexible in my hours and scheduling, enough to insure the always evident care of my own puppy. I have an unfenced yard ( for now as I just recently bought my first house and moved!) however plenty of walks and trips to the nearby dog park litter my usual schedule. I also enjoy baking, and making my own homemade treats has become a little passion of mine recently. I like to engage with the dogs in my care and ensure they are as happy as pawsiple ;). I’m always willing to go the extra mile for my furry friends.

Shelby was great with our senior dog, our rambunctious puppy, and our senior cat! She made sure they were all taken care of and spent lots of time with them. She also sent some very cute pictures of all of them! I would 100% recommend Shelby to anyone and would definitely hire her again!

Shelby is so communicative and empathetic! She was incredibly helpful and proactive about taking care of my cats. I felt so reassured they were in good hands. Incredibly accommodating, I would recommend everyone to work with Shelby.

Shelby was absolutely incredible with both my pitbulls. One was a puppy and had a few accidents throughout the week and Shelby cleaned all them up without hesitation. She provided me daily updates along with pictures. Highly suggest using her for your dog sitter.

Information Shelby M. would like to know about your pet

Before booking, I would love to know a little bit about your dogs personality, preferences, and behaviors. Tell me about your dogs spunky and unique personality, what they enjoy, what they dislike, and how they behave around other animals, people, and children. If they have any medical conditions, allergies, or special needs I should know about is also a must. All animals are amazing in there own right and I would love to provide the best service I possibly can to you and your furry companion.

A typical day

With the dogs I watch and the ones in my own personal care, I have many fun activities that surely will fit the needs of your pets. My dog is personally into agility, and we regularly go to dog parks to allow him to get all of that Aussie energy out! I have puzzle feeders, toys, and treats of my own to bring so that your pet can have an engaging and fun time. I often enjoy taking dogs to walk at Brecknock, Silver Lake Park, and the Little Creek Dog Park.
