Pet care experience

Honest, caring, & experienced!

Hi guys, Shelby here! My life has been revolving around dogs for the last 15 years and I love every second of it! I gained my extensive knowledge from my late pup Sammy, who had many special needs. As well as through my time working at Chewy, both in the Pharmacy and as a Brand Ambassador for some of the largest pet food companies in the industry. I have experience with administering oral medications, insulin injections, specialty diets, and a wide array of health issues. I’m a walking book of animal facts, so please don’t hesitate to ask any questions! I’m happy to pass on as much information to my clients so your fur babies can continue to live their best life! As far as my stays, I’m here to keep your mind at ease and your pets free of PTSD while you’re away. Knowing your fur babies are in the best of hands safe at home, happy as can be! As I send adorable pictures and check in multiple times a day. While your pets always come first, your home is my home, and I will be happy to collect your mail, water your plants, and of course keep everything tidy because the struggle with pet hair is real. Feel free to contact me with any other questions that you may have. Thank you for considering my services and hope to hear from you soon!

Safety, trust & environment

While I do not offer boarding at this time, since my cat Keana is an only child and prefers to keep it that way! I will adhere to your pets current schedule and allow them to demonstrate their usual needs. Such as the walking route they usually take, when they prefer play time, nap time, and snack time. Their schedule will not waver in my care!

Shelby was outstanding. She came to my house a week before she was scheduled to watch my dog for a meet and greet and I instantly took to her. She has a wonderful personality and is very knowledgeable about animals and taking care of them. She sent me multiple updates while I was away. This was the first time I ever used Rover so I was a bit apprehensive. This was amplified by the fact that my dog was recently diagnosed with cancer. However, Shelby’s updates kept me at ease. She gave him his medication and took him out multiple times to accommodate his bladder. When she left my house, she left it cleaner than it was left for her. I highly recommend her services.

Always so nice to have our two boys cared for so well and to come home to a sparkling clean house. You’re the best!

Shelby was terrific with our dogs! They were walked twice a day and she played with them and gave them a lot of TLC! We will definitely use Shelby again!!!

Shelby was amazing as always! She watched our dog Rocco for two whole weeks while we were out of the country and for such an anxious dog, he was truly so comfortable and happy while she was with him! Our house was clean when we got home and her communication was great the whole time! So thankful for her!

Schedule

This is my full time job for the last 5 years now. I currently have around 60 clients so I do stay busy and book my overnight stays typically 2-3 months in advance. I also have a couple doggies I walk during week days. Drop-in’s or walks I typically book at least 3-7 days in advance. I do not offer reoccurring walks at this time, but always reach out to see if I have any openings available! Cancelations happen!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Shelby can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Please inform me of any allergies, medical history, and special quirks they may have. I also like to have vet information on hand in case of emergencies. Of course if your dog has any bite history, I expect to be informed up front, as I have had people hide it from me in the past.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
