Pet care experience
Just your* everyday animal person
Multi pet mom and full-time animal tender! In 2023 I started using Rover to find a sitter to care for my animals while I worked long days. I needed reliable help. Someone who I could count on to show up, love on my babies, and make sure they were happy. Many years after using sitters to care for my animals, I decided I wanted my life to look differently. I wanted to do something that made me happy! I started caring for pet's full time on Rover in August of 2024. Now, I have the ability to help make the lives of the people in my community just a tad easier! Let me help you - ask me about all the customized services I offer! I have worked in 2 animal hospitals and I am comfortable administering medication. I am also familiar in handling animals who need extra care or specific attention. I will engage, love, and provide care as if they were my own!

Ratings and reviews
Shelby was great! She filled in last minute for a sitter that had cancelled a few hours before we went out of town and really helped us out in a pinch. She was on time, communicative and I can tell the doods were well taken care of! Thank you Shelby!
We took a chance booking with Shelby, and I’m so glad we did! She was incredibly easy to work with, flexible, and dependable. I especially appreciated the photos and updates she sent while taking Charley on his walks—it gave us such peace of mind knowing he was happy and being well cared for. We had a great experience with Shelby and would absolutely use her again. Highly recommend!
Shelby is the absolute best!!! She has been our go to cat sitter every time we go out of town! We totally trust her and our babies love her and are always so well taken care of with Shelby. 🥹💘
Shelby is AMAZING! From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to ensure Booker received excellent care while also following his specific training protocols. Shelby is incredibly attentive to detail, professional, and clearly has a gift with animals. Booker does not like the camera, yet in the pictures where he actually looked at Shelby, he was smiling! The fact that he was so excited to see her every day—and would smile whenever she called his name to capture a picture—says it all. He absolutely loved her! I also really appreciated that Shelby arranged an initial face-to-face meet and greet with both Booker and me before beginning his care. That was extremely helpful because it gave him the opportunity to meet and become familiar with her while I was there to properly introduce them, rather than having someone unfamiliar show up while I was away. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Shelby gave me tremendous peace of mind knowing Booker was being cared for by someone who respected his routine, understood his training, and genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. Five stars without hesitation! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Shelby is fantastic! She was on time, sent lots of updates, and communication was so fast. Our cat Binx is normally pretty skittish around new people, but he was comfortable enough around her to explore while she was in our house and he even let her pet him. It was so nice to come home and see Binx calm and relaxed because of the exceptional care he received from her while we were gone. She even cleaned all of his food bowls! We will definitely book Shelby again!

Safety, trust & environment
I'll care for your fur babies the way I would want mine cared for. Do they like belly rubs, enjoy a game of fetch, need extensive walks, special senior care, medically complex routine? Every fur baby has their own needs. I do my absolute best to conscientiously follow instructions to keep your family member comfortable and happy!

A typical day
A walk around the block to enjoy all of the smells is a must in the early mornings. In the evenings we like to take the toys to the back yard and play, sunbathe, and roll around in the grass.
