Pet care experience
AKC certified animal lover!
I'm an AKC certified service dog trainer and evaluator and I absolutely love what I do. I've always had a passion for animals, and have had many throughout my childhood and adult years. Working with animals is my full time job, from training basic/advanced obedience and service for both mental and physical disabilities, to dog sitting, walking, or just wanting to get some energy out and socialization in. Whatever you may need, I can almost guarantee I can offer, including knowledge and advice that you can bring with you for a lifetime. I have 2 large dogs and 4 cats of my own, all well behaved, up to date with shots, fixed, and well trained. My roommate is also an AKC trainer and evaluator. I would mostly prefer to stay with your fur babies in their own environment to stay with routine as much as possible, or other arrangements can be discussed. If reactivity of any kind is a concern for you and you'd like to speak with someone about training options, I can refer you to my roommate who specializes in reactive rehabilitation, with many strong and positive client reviews of success with her training.

Safety, trust & environment
While I won't provide boarding in my own home, that doesn't mean I won't bring your fur babies over for a playdate with mine if consented to with you. I have 2 well behaved large dogs, a fully trained service husky and a service dog in training german shepherd/husky mix. Both are very friendly and absolute sweethearts with new dogs. We work and train with them daily, take many trips to the dog park down the road, and they eat homemade topper fit for kings with all their meals. When I am staying with your fur babies in your home, I send daily updates with pictures about how your babies are doing, follow all instructions to a T, and do my best to leave your lovely home exactly the way I found it. I am known to do some light cleaning (mopping, vacuuming, washing of laundry that I used, etc) before I leave as I don't like leaving messes and like to be mindful of you coming back from a long work trip or vacation that just left you tuckered out. I know the last thing you want to do is clean up after someone lol!
Ratings and reviews
We found her last minute, and she truly exceeded every expectation. She was so gentle with my fur babies, kept me updated the whole time without me needing to ask, and made sure they were always comfortable and cared for. I absolutely recommend her and will be hiring her again.
Shelby has been nothing but kind, loving and affectionate toward animals since i met her. Currently works with dogs as a profession and is very attentive to any animals left in her care.

Schedule
Working with dogs is my only job. I have training and socialization appointments with dogs/clients I already have scheduled weekly visits with. These appointments last from 1-3 hours Wednesday-Saturday. During this time I can schedule time for your fur babies, or if I am dog sitting for you, can stop in between appointments for potty breaks, their lunch feedings, and playtimes. If discuss together, they can also join in with socialization appointments to dog parks or walks.

- I like to stick to your routine with your fur babies as it helps with behavioral issues and overall comfort of your babies. To me no detail is too small or outrageous when it comes to the care you want for your family, and I completely respect and follow any and all instructions provided.
