Shelby is wonderful and really cares about my dogs training progress. Gives very detailed feedback about their behavior. Will book her for all future visits if she’s available.

Shelb is great with my energetic pup! I book her for long runs and pup comes back ready to nap! Book Shelby if your dog is high energy!

I’m a private client of Shelbs and she is great with my slightly anxious dog Jay. Jay always looks forward to her dropping in and I have noticed improvement in his temperament and mood since Jay Shelby has began caring for him. She is saintly!

Shelby is a lovely dog carer. She has such a well behaved senior pup that I've met a few times. Her pup is a delight and is so silly and gentle. Shelby would be a great fit for dogs who need extra care like meds, gear considerations, or need some extra playtime. My Airedale and African Grey have a great opinion of Shelby and love when she visits.
