I care for my four babies with as much love and care as I can! I won’t be able to offer in home boarding or daycare or be able to stay overnight for pet care.

We can play, walk, talk, whatever your pet likes to do! Mine prefer to play tug of war, sit outside, go on walks, and get lots of pets. I love taking them to the park to see nature!

Lover of all animals!

Pet care experience

I have had animals my entire life and a passion for them. I currently have two dogs, a samoyed named Ruby and a golden named Duke. I have two cats; an orange kitten named Ember and a gray kitten named socks(and a hedgehog named Poppy!) I am working towards taking care of animals as my full time job and life! I will expand my care to boarding once I am able to be full time in this role. My current care will entitle dog walking and dog visits as well as kitty care. I look forward to taking care of your fur babies and giving them the attention and love they deserve!

Shelby is THE BEST. She’s been watching my two kitties for the last year and I can’t recommend her enough. My one kitty is shy with everybody, except Shelby.

Shelby took wonderful care of our 2 cats, and provided us with a sense of ease while on vacation. This was our first time booking Shelby, and she happily met Mango & Baby (and us) prior to her visits, which was greatly appreciated! She responded to my messages immediately, was always on time for her visits, and followed our instructions to a T. Our normally shy kitties were always out for Shelby and looked happy! We are grateful to have met Shelby, highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs, and will book her again in the future.

Shelby took a last minute job for which I am so grateful!! She fed and handled the litter and got my mail. My cat Finn is a scardy cats so he doesnt come out to play...but I am hoping that over time he will come out to spend time with Shelby! Thank you for taking such good care of my fur baby!!

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.
