Pet care experience

I've been a lover of furry friends for many, many years. We have had at least one dog in our house for over 23 years, and I have cared for them from puppy hood through their final moments. Our family pets have always been high-energy breeds, so I understand the need for a well exercised dog. Walking for 2+miles per visit is no problem for me with dogs who have lots of energy to work off. I also have many years of fostering dogs through Big Fluffy Dog rescue. Through all of this, I have gained a plethora of experience with senior dogs, dogs on seizure medications, as well as all puppies both large and small.

Safety, trust & environment

Unfortunately, I do not take pets into the home. Our current schedule and home environment with three dogs and two cats doesn’t allow for many pet guests.

Information Shelby R. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs of all sizes, shapes and dispositions, and can drop by for visits for those in need. Unfortunately, I do have an innate fear of German Shepherds...and they can sense it a mile away...so this breed would require introductions prior to service.

A typical day

Your dog and I can explore the neighborhood, maybe play fetch with a ball, or perhaps hike at a nearby park. You let me know your preferences and I'll find a good adventure.

These prices are for one cat. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.

Availability

I am available most evenings and many weekends. For my repeat pets, my schedule is shifting for several months. Because of this, I am not available during regular business hours until early summer.
