Pet care experience

I’ve had experience caring for pets since 2011. I was the primary caretaker for our family cat while in middle and high school and I’ve owned my own dog and cats since 2017. I currently have 1 dog and 3 cats in my home and have fostered many more over the years. I have taken care of sick stray animals and nursed them back to health, found many their forever homes, and provided dependable care to ones already living with their families! I helped with local rescues for 4 years while living overseas and worked at our local boarding facility and shelter for 2 of those. My experience caring for pets is vast and I would love to have the opportunity to care for yours!

Shelby is super sweet and super dependable — plus my rowdy rovers love their walks with her! I highly recommend her services!

Shelby is awesome! She gave our younger girl lots of attention while still being calm for our older, timid girl. Lots of updates too!

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.
