Safety, trust & environment

I will always take care of your pet and your home like it is my own, if not even better! I always follow the golden rule and leave things better than I found them if possible.

Information Shelby R. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know their favorite times for meals and walks, any specific behavior issues on walks or near other animals, and they're bedtime routine! I like to keep everything as similar to if mom and dad were home. Routine is important!

A typical day

I love to go out for walks, to stop and smell all of the smells, playtime at the park, or playing ball in the yard. I love to give (parent-approved) enrichment treats and do some basic training and games for mental stimulation.

Pets

I've never met a dog I didn't love.

Pet care experience

Hello! I have been a pet owner, caretaker, and lover for the majority of my life, but really began my professional career as a Pet Sitter when I left home for college and didn't have any furry friends in my dorm room. I've worked with every type of dog, fromteacup Pomeranians all the way up to Great Pyrenees and I've never met a dog I didn't love. I have experience administering medications, helping dogs with handicaps, behavioral issues, and everything in between. I love to have an excuse to get outdoors and go on adventures, so I bet your fur baby will even miss you while you're away! I am happy to do overnights in your home or to host your pet at my place, where I have 2 dogs of my own who LOVE to have sleepovers with new friends. Let me know what I can help you with!

Shelby did a great job pet sitting for my kitties. She was easy to contact and reliable. Book her if you want to have happy pets, when you come home.

Shelby was a lifesaver! Having recently moved to the city, it’s hard to turn right around in the midst of unpacking. Shelby, gave us the peace of mind we needed. We got regular updates and check-ins. Thank you!

Shelby was great. Our dog and home were both really well taken care of. We would definitely rebook in the future.

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.
