I currently work full time with hours M-TH 7:30am-4:30pm and Fridays from 8am-1pm. I am able to wake up and take them out for a morning walk/ potty break before I leave and will take them on a longer walk once home. A final potty break will be done before I go to bed around 9:30pm. Feeding can be done according to your preference within those times as well. Weekends I have off and I am able to be home more/ take them on longer walks/runs.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat everyone's pets as I would my own. To me, animals are apart of the family and I want them to feel safe and relaxed with me as their sitter. This includes letting them sleep in the bed with me/ on the couch (if allowed), giving them lots of cuddles, making time for play, taking time to work on training/ commands if they're learning and giving them space when needed too.

Information Shelby P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if they do not like other dogs, are okay on the furniture, their walking habits, affection level (need space/want attention) and so on so I can best attend to them and their needs so they feel safe and calm.

A typical day

I like to go on walks myself and would take the pup with me! They are typically longer walks about 45 minutes - 1 hour in length. Playtime including fetch, tug-o-war and commands are also fun to keep dogs engaged and tired out.

Highly recommend Shelby! We contacted her very last minute due to a sudden tragedy and she met us and our animals the same day. She took great care of our golden doodle and elderly cat, leaving us worry-free while we were across the country. We would definitely rebook with her!

Shelby was so great in a situation - she did a meet & greet with my super shy guy ahead of caring for him. Unfortunately he got sick the day I was out of town all day and she ended up having to deal with the mess, literally and figuratively! She went above and beyond and was a great communicator. We appreciate her!

10/10. I have 3 very different animals with varying temperaments and felt so comfortable leaving them with Shelby. The pictures and videos put me at ease and she left my home just like she found it! I already rebooked with her for future pet sitting. If you’re nervous about leaving your fur babies, Shelby is the way to go!

Wish I could give more than 5 stars to Shelby! She stayed with our 2 pups for 8 days and she was incredible. She sent several videos and pics during our trip. She thought they were getting a little bored, so she went to the store and hand made them frozen yogurt treats to enjoy and keep them occupied. She also made a fun game and right before leaving the house each day she hid treats for them to find. We couldn't ask for a better person to keep our pups company while we are gone!
