Animal Lover & Aspiring Vet Tech

Pet care experience

The first thing you need to know about me is that I love animals! I am in college to earn a Veterinary Technician and general studies degree, because I want to make working with animals my career. I have always loved and had pets and they are my true passion in life. I treat all animals as individuals, and I DO NOT BREED DISCRIMINATE! I am so excited to be your go-to pet sitter and care for your pet in your home. I am an avid volunteer with Austin Pets Alive, where I help run adoption events, volunteer with the cats, walk dogs, and foster animals until they can find their forever home. I work mostly with cats, but I also do dog walking and help run dog events. I am very used to dealing, handling, and working with all types of cat and dog personalities as well. They're all unique. I currently have 3 spoiled rescue kitties. Ramsey Bobo is a seven year old, 20 lb male Maine coon who is a bit of a diva. My other is my former foster kitten. Bobet Itty Bitty is one year old, and is shy but complete ball of energy! Last but not least, my third cat, Kibbler Yeller was one of my most recent foster kittens, she is 4 months old! I also had a lovely dachshund for 18 years. I have lots of experience with administrating medications to cats, and smaller dogs. However I am a quick learner and could easily give medications to larger dogs if shown how. I'm already familiar with measuring out medication doses. Whatever your dog needs, I can provide. I can't wait to meet you and your pup!

Shelby was fantastic. My dog loved her (then again he loves everyone), she gave me great advice about how to raise him, and she sent great pictures every day. Would definitely recommend

Shelby did a great job taking care of our pets! The litter was regularly cleaned and the pets always had fresh water and food.

Information Shelby S. would like to know about your pet

I do not breed discriminate! All dogs are individuals to me and will be treated as such! I would like to know what their usual schedule is like, what their habits are and what they like to do. I want to be as prepared as possible for the stay so any any all information is welcome.

A typical day

Depending on the dog, I can take them to Zilker park, local walking trails, dog parks, the green belt, creeks, and/or pet supplies stores to get them an owner approved yummy treat! When we aren't out exploring, I love giving cuddles, snuggles and belly rubs. Extra house-sitting services include: Watering plants, getting the mail, Keeping the house clean, and any extra little things you need done while you are away.
