Pet care experience

Animals are my career and passion!

Hi! I’m Shelby. I have volunteered at various animal shelters, worked and volunteered at multiple dog daycares, have experience in dog walking and pet sitting, also with cats and other small animals as I have owned them all. I am also happy to take care of pets besides dogs and cats, just inquire! I am a certified vet assistant and have taken basic grooming classes. As you can see dogs are my life. My apartment is extremely dog friendly and even features a grooming room and dog park. I would only take them there if requested and would always be supervised. I am home for multiple walks and care.

Shelby has a very deep care and love for animals. She cares for each as if they were her own. She provides a safe, clean, caring and loving home for each animal that she watches. You can rest assured that your pet is in good hands.

Shelby is a great sitter and I definitely recommend her. This is the second time she has cared for my baby Lily who loves her and was excited to see her. Shelby was even able to pick up and drop her off which was very convenient for me.

Safety, trust & environment

I only take one family’s pets at a time. They will only be with me. I do not give them treats or food unless you approve of it. Only the food and treats you provide.

A typical day

We can go on walks, visit the park, or just play and relax on the couch. We can play fetch if they like or any other activities for cats or small pets.

I would like to know how they respond to new people. Will they bite? Do they chew up furniture? Where would you like them to sleep at night? They are allowed on furniture. Any health concerns?
