Looking FUR a sitter? Let me help!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Shelby and I'm an avid animal lover. I've had creatures my entire life (just ask my mom about the 3 rescues I brought home before I left for college), and I'm passionate about taking care of your home and pets in the best way possible. In my home state of Missouri I worked for a locally owned pet store before leaving to start my own dog sitting business. I was taking care of 5-10 homes and families a week before moving to Nashville! Having grown up in multiple dog houses, I feel like a home isn't a home without a four legged friend. Like I've always said, an outfit isn't complete without a little dog hair. Over the years, I've worked with dogs of all ages and sizes. I've given senior pets both oral medication and injections, and taken puppies to puppy classes when their parents couldn't get away from their busy lives. I don't discriminate, so whether you have a Great Dane or a Yorkie, I'd be happy to sit your pup! Let me ease your mind while your away, and allow me to keep your fur children just has happy as you would!

Shelby recently took care of our doggies for a week. Our dogs are our babies and we are very particular about who we leave them with. The family member who usually cares of them when we are away, became ill at the last minute. Shelby agreed to fill in for her and she did such an excellent job, we intend to use her exclusively in the future. One of our dogs is 16 years old and has multiple medical issues for which she requires a great deal of supervision and daily doses of her medication. She is also going deaf and blind. The other is a playful little fellow who demands attention on a regular basis. We could not be more pleased with the care and attention they received from Shelby. They were well cared for and happy when we returned. I highly recommend her to anyone!

I had the opportunity to have Shelby stay at my home with my 2 dogs and cat for a two week period when I went to visit my mother and family in Australia. It was a wonderful feeling and such relief to know that someone was with them at times in the day and always at night. They slept with Shelby just like they do when I'm home. I was disappointed to hear Shelby was moving because I wanted her to come and stay again this year when I go back to Australia in December. If you are wanting a dog sitter that truly loves animals and takes care of them when you are away, contact Shelby, she is the one you won't be unhappy with. Nor will your furry babies!!!!

I would recommend Shelby as a dog sitter to anyone. I have 4 dogs, at one time 6, and she would come and help me out anytime I needed her. I trusted her enough I gave her a key to my home because if I was running late from work, she would run to my house and let my "babies" out for me. My dogs loved her!! She would play catch with them, pet and love them, as if they were her own. I was very upset, selfishly, when Shelby told me she was moving to Nashville. I not only lost a "dog sitter" I lost someone I trusted with my 4 legged family members. She will be hard to replace in my world and my dogs!!!

Information Shelby M. would like to know about your pet

I can take care of virtually any animal (dog, cat, hamster, fish), I only ask that I know of any ailments or disabilities prior to actually sitting. Any aggression or behavioral issues are also a must know, just so I have a basic idea of what's going on!

A typical day

I will care for your pup just like you do! I am always down for a snuggle and won't hesitate to engage in playtime. I would be more than happy to walk your pet if you give me an idea of where and when you would like your dog taken! Because I'm not able to sit in my own home, I unfortunately will not be able to bring any animals here. However, I will spend as much quality time with your babies at your home as you would like! I try my best to make your pets as comfortable and as happy as they can be!
