12+ Years, New to Rover 🐾
🐾 New to Rover, Not to Pet Care! Hi, I’m Shelby! 👋 Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 12+ years. From playful puppies to senior pets and those with special needs, I provide patient, reliable care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. ❤️ As a Direct Support Professional, caring for others is what I do every day. You can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and treat your pets like family. ✨ What you can expect: 🐶 12+ years of pet care experience 💊 Medication administration 🐾 Experience with puppies, seniors & special needs 📸 Frequent photo updates 🚶 Walks, playtime & enrichment 💙 Lots of love, cuddles, and personalized care I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel overwhelming. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family! 🐕🐈

Safety, trust & environment
I prefer to stay in their home which allows them to stay comfortable and in their own environment, new places can cause fur babies unnecessary stress and no one wants that. I prefer to keep their routine as normal as possible as well so if they get fed at 5 am I set an alarm to ensure they get fed at their normal time as well.
Ratings and reviews
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! She took such great care of our house, our three dogs, and our cat while we were away. She sent us lots of pictures of our fur babies, which made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our trip. She also kept us updated on everything that was going on, so we always knew they were happy and well cared for. It was obvious she genuinely cared about our pets and treated them like they were her own. Coming home to happy animals and a well-kept house gave us so much peace of mind. We will absolutely be using her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!
Shelby is incredible! She treats every dog like they are her own and she goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy, safe and feel so much love! She is reliable, trustworthy, and has such a natural connection with both people and animals. You can always tell she genuinely cares and it gives so much peace of mind knowing your pets are in loving capable hands. I would recommend Shelby to anyone looking for a someone to love and care for your pets. Your fur babies will be in the best hands if Shelby is there with them!🩷
10/10 recommend Shelby to care for your pets while you are away! Our family has trusted Shelby on several occasions and it truly helped make our vacations enjoyable knowing our pets were being cared for with love.
i can’t recommend shelby enough! she’s my go to pet sitter, & i trust her completely with all of my animals. between my reptiles & dogs, she’s cared for a whopping 10 of my pets 😅 including three senior dogs & one disabled dog who all require a little extra attention & care. i’ve left town for several days at a time, & shelby has stayed overnight to take care of everyone. she gives all of the pets so much love, keeps me updated with photos & texts, & i always know they’re in great hands. it’s such a relief being able to enjoy my trip without worrying about them. on top of that, she always leaves my house clean & tidy, which i really appreciate coming home to. she’s dependable, caring, so so kind, & truly treats my pets like they’re her own. i wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their animals!
Shelby is insightful and experienced as a caretaker! She identifies the unique personalities and needs of the pets she watches and connects with them to make sure they’re happy and safe while under her care. She’s made a lasting impression on my dogs and each of them loves to see her!
Shelby has sat for both my previous dog and my current dog and has taken such good care of them both! She made sure to keep me updated on how Val was doing whenever I left her with Shelby, and it gave me such a peace of mind when I was traveling to be able to know my baby was in good hands! And so far, she hasn’t kicked Toby off her client list yet - so he must not be so bad! 😂

Schedule
I work full time swings typically 3p-10/12p it varies during the week. When I’m not working I’m a home body so your pets will have company with them most of the morning. I do know my schedule usually a month in advance so I am able to let you know before you officially book and you can decide if it works for you.
