Pet care experience

I want to make sure your dogs are as loved and cared for everyday as they are when they’re with you! I have had dogs all my life. Right now I have 2 amazing rescue dogs who have overcome so much. I have experience participating in many different kinds of dog training classes, including agility! Animals are my greatest passion and I know how hard it can be to leave your loved one with someone new. I will care for your pup the same way I do for my own. I only host one family at a time to ensure your pup(s) is(are) getting the proper attention!

This was our first time using Shelby to Dogsit. When picking up our pup from Shelby, we noticed that she was calm and relaxed and happy. It was the best feeling to come home to - to know that our puppy wasn’t stressed while we were gone. Shelby sent photos throughout the week and kept us up to date. She was accommodating and always quick to respond when messages. She has two dogs and we weren’t sure how our small 4 pound dog would do with them, but they were so lovable and playful and sweet, I could tell our dog felt safe and secure around them, and even enjoyed getting in on their playtime a bit. We have tried a few sitters for our dog and in finding Shelby, we have now found the sitter we’ll return to again and again.

Shelby has so great with my dog! She’s can be a bit nervous with new people and Shelby has been so patient with her.

Information Shelby S. would like to know about your pet

Any specific likes/dislikes that the dog has. Any medications or special needs such as separation anxiety. It’s helpful to understand the dogs typical routine to try to match that as much as possible.

A typical day

The back yard is fenced in for outdoor activities. There are lots of great walking/running trails around my house that are fun to explore when the weather is nice. My 2 dogs also love having more playmates for indoor activities or cuddling too.
