Dog and cat lover!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Shelby. I have a cat and dog at home—both of which I’ve raised since they were babies! My dog Zoe (75 lbs) has been through advanced and therapy dog training, so I am very comfortable with dogs of all behaviors! I’ve also fostered and medicated puppies from 4-8 weeks old that were found in a dumpster. They went to their forever homes at 8 weeks being mostly potty trained! I’m an empathetic healthcare worker and can connect with most animals. My family members, friends, and neighbors trust me with their dogs, from walking to medicating puppies and seniors. I’m also extremely experienced with kitties, from shy ones to wild boys like my cat Leo!

Shelby was a true life saver! She agreed to watch Pickle on short notice, and did a fantastic job! She checked in every day and made sure Pickle was happy! Will definitely use her again!!

Shelby is fantastic and relieves the stress of having to leave our dogs when we go away. We love reading the texts and seeing the pictures she sends and we can tell she loves them like we do. Shelby is completely reliable and is very trustworthy. Highly recommend!"

Please pass along whatever information you believe is pertinent to your dogs health and happiness.

Your dog and I will walk either in your neighborhood or mine— whichever you prefer. We will play or do whatever your doggo wants. I am always aware of safety concerns and will care for your dog as much as I do my own.
