Tuesday’s and Sunday’s are the only days I am unavailable for Dog walking and Drop-ins. I am available Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays for Dog Walking or Drop-ins. I love all animals! I love Dog walking and doing Drop-ins. I believe my purpose in life is to take care of animals and give them wonderful care. In my spare time I go to the gym, cook food, spend time with my dog, spend time with family & friends, and learn more about dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

When in a clients home I follow their specific requests. Attention to detail is important to me. Following your pets routine is a high priority for me. I will give your pet lots of attention and guidance. I will treat your home with respect. My dog is a part of my family and I treat him as such. I will treat your pet as if they were my own, giving them lots of attention and love. I like following routines, creating trust with guidance and positive reinforcement. I live in an apartment, downtown Harrisburg, with no yard. I have one dog named Mochi. He is 6 years old, a Chihuahua/French Bulldog, neutered and up to date with vaccines.

Information Shelby P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs. I can accommodate them as best as I can. Upfront honesty about any behaviors your dog has is very helpful to keep your dog safe and ensure they have a positive experience. I can adapt and adjust to provide excellent care.

A typical day

I can take them on walks. I can provide lots of physical activity. Playing in the house or backyard, with balls or frisbees or toys. I have lots of dog toys available. I have lots of dog puzzles to choose from for playtime, for some mental stimulation. I can spend time practicing commands or tricks the dog already knows. We can snuggle on the couch for nap time or to watch doggie tv.

Shelby is so great with my reactive dog. I’m really hesitant to trust new people with his care but she was attentive during our meet and greet. And she really seemed confident in helping him through his walks if he needed it. We have her on a weekly basis. :)

She is the best pet sitter we have ever had. We never worry about the care and love our dogs will receive while we are away. She always sends a lot of pictures and videos and daily notes about each day they spend with her. If your dogs are everything to you and you miss them every second you’re away from them then Shelby will give you peace of mind with her gentle and loving care. She is also great with older animals or ones needing special medical care. You won’t regret hiring her for the care of your beloved animal companion.

Shelby does a great job with my 13-year-old German Shepherd, Angel. I always know she will be well taken care of with Shelby. Thanks so much, Shelby!
