Dependable, loyal, & active

Pet care experience

Growing up with pets throughout my childhood, I learned early on that nurturing and caring for a pet only enhances the care they provide back to us. Although I do not have the luxury of having my own pets at this time, I love the opportunities I get to spend time with the pets of my friends and family. Each has their own unique personality and spirit. One of my most recent experiences has been as a live-in housesitter for a large propery just outside the city, providing care for 3 dogs (2 large/1 small) and 2 pigs; as well as tend the garden and other needs around the home and yard. I have done many overnight or multiple night/weeks at times as well as the daily check-ins. I have cared for dogs who have a higher need level due to food requirements, medicine, or simply because thier routine requires it. I am an active person, and am comfortable accomodating the slow stroll or the more energetic critters with a higher need for movement. If there is property care or larger animal requirements, I am open to getting my hands dirty if neccessary. Anytime I am given the chance to step-in as interim provider for a pet, my goal is to always do it in a way that puts you as the owner at ease while you are away, knowing your pet is in great hands. I will always respect the current rules and needs of the pandemic and work to keep your home and pets safe and happy!

It was so nice being able to find someone in the neighborhood would could watch our 11 year old dog at home while we were away. Shelby was responsive from the get go and sent us periodic updates. We came home to a tidy house and a happy dog!

Shelby has a tender spirit that makes animals gravitate toward her, but she knows how to be the one in charge to help guide them towards the goal (e.g. a walk, eating, playing, etc.). She has watched my dog Porkchop, a rat terrier, multiple times, and he loves her! He gets right up on her lap when she is near and wants to be soclose to her that it's pretty cute. She is responsible and thoughtful, and she notices the little things about him and his behavior that is very helpful. I trust her completely with Porkchop and can not reccomend her highly enough!

Shelby has become an invaluable part of our family. I can always count on her to take the best care of our 3 pups and our home. I have two young German Shepherds and a senior Chihuahua mix, and all three adore her. The freedom to be able to leave and know our fur-babies would be well cared of has been a huge relief. She is dependable, trusting, caring and very tidy. She also has a good head on her shoulders, and I trust her to make sound decisions if I can't be reached. She is great about keeping our dogs active and playing with them. They are also on a strict diet of raw meat that she has no problem preparing. She has watched our farm and dogs many times, and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Shelby, so don't hesitate to have her take care of your babies.

Shelby has watched our home and our moody Greyhound several times. Our dog typically won't eat or go for walks with other dogsitters but for Shelby he instantly felt comfortable. Shelby has a very calming demeanor and is respectful and trustworthy.
