Shelby is always awesome with my dog Sasha. She sends regular updates daily and makes me feel comfortable the entire stay. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of an amazing dog sitter!

Shelby is amazing!! I was so nervous about leaving my 7-month old pup for the first time, especially since I work from home so he's never really been without me or alone for too long. He immediately greeted Shelby and was excited to be in her beautiful apartment. Her place is super clean and very dog friendly! I was also comforted knowing he had a friend there, her little pup Daphne (they got along really well!). There's also a really convenient dog run in her building, where the dogs can use the bathroom and socialize a little (if they want to). Shelby was so patient with all of my questions and concerns, and sent me a bunch of pictures/vids throughout so I had total peace of mind. She will definitely be my go-to sitter from now on!

I highly recommend Shelby! Her relationship with my pup was just the cutest. They bonded within such a short amount of time and he can be quite a shy guy. Shelby was flexible and had great communication. Her pup Daphne is super sweet too. I look forward to re-booking!

Phenomenal! Shelby was very loving towards Ace and accommodating towards me. Will book again as Ace officially has a new Auntie!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a gated community. There is a dog run on the property that is only accessible by two locked doors. Dogs are required to be leashed in other areas of the building.

Pets

A typical day

Dogs are taken to the secure dog run first thing in the morning around 6am and then fed. We do another visit to the dog run around 3pm and again before bedtime. I like dogs to be as comfy as possible so they are welcome to lounge on furniture and in the bed :)

I like to get familiar with each dog’s home routine before watching them. Please feel free to let me know about their like/dislikes and individual quirks.
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.
