Adventurous Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Drop-in’s available any day after 3 or any time Sunday-Tuesday. Dog Boarding available any day of the week for any length of time. I’ve worked with dogs professionally for over 5 years. This includes dog sitting, dog walking, and working at a daycare. The dog daycare taught me how to work with dogs of all sizes and demeanors. I am comfortable breaking up fights, managing pet anxiety, and working with difficult dogs. Animals are my passion! My family has always had a lot of pets at once (including stick bugs and ferrets). Now I am proud to have my own little fur family, my cat and dog. I have a one year old Catahoula with a LOT of energy. You can be sure if your pet stays with me they will get plenty of exercise. Mine loves to play, we have a large yard (unfenced but has a cable run), we’re a short walk from Cornwall, and we love finding adventures. -Dog must be crate trained -Dog must be dog friendly -Pets ok on furniture

Shelby is AWSOME! 1st time I’ve had an in home sitter, and she took amazing care of Lace. She gave her so much love & snuggling. Also lots of play time & trips to the park. Lace lover her & I could enjoy my vacation knowing she was being so well taken care of. Thank you so much Shelby!!!!!

Shelby was very responsible and reliable, taking good care of our 2 cats. She even sent text pictures to let us know how they were doing. :-)

Shelby was absolutely fantastic! My pup, Rue, had a blast with her and warmed right up to her. Rue has severe separation anxiety, but Shelby was able to make her feel comfortable and happy while I was away. She answered all of my MANY questions and concerns and made me feel very comfortable about leaving Rue with her. She sent me pictures and continuously kept me updated! She left my apartment just as I left it, brought in my mail, and fed my fish! She even left me a note about all the things her and Rue did while I was away and how Rue was feeling and acting. I will 100% use Shelby again next time I am away and need someone to watch Rue! The communication was great, she was very respectful of my home and my dog, she went above and beyond to take care of my home while I was gone, and most importantly, I came home to a happy dog. I highly recommend her! You will not be disappointed and she will treat your pup like it's her own.

We honestly could not have asked for a better house/pet sitting experiance! It was our first time using Rover and it was a great one! Shelby was amazing! She communicated with us before and during the stay. We got photos and updates so we knew everything was going well. She even left us a nice wrap up note for when we got home. Our dog is high energy and was worn out when we got home! She definitly kept her busy and happy! We will definitly be reaching out to Shelby in the future!

We’re a short walk from Cornwall, and we love going on a hike or to the beach. Aside from daily adventures, indoors I'm always down to play fetch, tug of war, or simply cuddle on the couch. If your dog is a cuddler during the night, they are always welcome in my bed.
