Hi there! My name is Shelby Pfeifer and I adore dogs. Working with animals has always been a passion of mine and a bright light in my life. *The safety and well-being of your pet and the security of your home will always be my first priority!* What you can expect from my house sitting services: • Prompt & professional communication • A clean, well-kept home o Plants watered o Trash taken out o Any other necessary housekeeping • Happy, well cared for pets o Affection and playtime o Walks and exercise • Consistent food schedules • Updates at your preferred frequency • Pictures & videos of your pet Please reach out if your pet has special needs or accommodations! I am no stranger to cleaning up messes, bottle feedings, or administering topical and oral medicine. All breeds and ages are welcome! Do you have a very energetic dog? I would love to take him/her out on a run or hike! Why not treat your dog to an adventure while you enjoy your vacation? Unfortunately, I am not the Hulk so I must ask that larger dogs are leash trained well enough not to drag me across the street :) More about me: - Bachelors of Science, Mechanical Engineering from San Diego State University - Hobbies include rock climbing, hiking, and camping Experience/Background: I grew up caring for a variety of pets from cats and dogs to birds and snakes. My family has had dogs since I was 6. Much to my delight, we even fostered puppies and litters of kittens. As an adult, it feels foreign to live in a home without dogs! In high school I spent two years working at a holistic pet food store where I expanded my knowledge on about pet care and nutrition (side note: I am happy to advise any clients on dog food selection and tips on addressing food allergies free of charge). In college, I continued to foster my love of animals while volunteering at a local rescue. I have spent the last few months working at Puppy Love Puppy Camp in San Francisco! At Puppy Love Puppy Camp we help create well balanced dogs through socialization, play, and obedience training. Our camp included a pick up/drop off service and special outings such as walks and trips to dog parks. Additionally, we boarded puppies at our home while providing them with an immersive training experience. Areas of Expertise: • Leash training • Crate training • Socialization • Pack dynamics • Obedience training • Behavioral correction • Transportation safety
