I will care for your pets as my own

Pet care experience

I have never lived without a pet! I love all animals (sometimes more than people). I have been dog sitting for 5 years, casually for friends and family. My dog Misty has special needs, and has helped me to be comfortable with other pets who might have special needs. I’ve lived in a home where I helped care for foster cats and dogs from bottle baby age to senior citizen age! I am currently working from home! I am able to take breaks throughout the day to visit and play with your pets. My schedule is open for 3 daily walks or home visits. I prefer not to walk dogs after the sun goes down or before the sun rises. I am available to care for 1 pet at a time in my home for a dog boarding service/daycare service. I have a fenced in yard to take care of your pet. We have 2 dogs with excellent temperaments to play with your dog. I can schedule walks/play time with our dogs so your pets can make friends.

Shelby is an incredible dog sitter. I have a large mixed hound that has a ton of energy, and Shelby knows exactly how to take care of him. She has watched Trigger multiple times, and I fully trust her. She is such a loving person that really cares about animals. She has two dogs, and I'm amazed at how patient she is with a fully house. I recommend Shelby for all your dog needs!

I would 100% recommend Shelby to be a dog sitter. She has watched my dog on multiple occasions and is incredibly responsible and shows her the love and attention that she needs. She is an animal lover and thoroughly enjoys getting to know other people’s pets.

Information shelby r. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any quirks or boundaries that do not like to be crossed. It’s important I keep my dogs and your dogs safe! Also let me know if your dog has any special needs or any routines you like them to follow at home. It’s also important for me to know if your dog is friendly with people/children/other dogs, so I know how to keep them safe.

A typical day

I love to see dogs in action! We have a local dog park we walk to 2-3 times a week and we can play with other dogs. Of course, only if your dog enjoys playing with other dogs. I have 2 routes I like to take around my neighborhood, one is 1.5 miles, and the other is 3 miles. I like to gauge the route I take by how hot it is outside and the age/activity level of the dog. For example, my dog Misty struggles with 3 mile walks, however Titan loves long walks.
