Lifetime dog owner/lover!

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Shelby, and I have owned dogs my entire life. I am a Registered Nurse, hold a PhD, work in higher education, and have a knack for connecting with dogs. My husband, 6-year-old daughter, 16 month-old son, and I currently share our Holbrook home with our mixed-breed rescue pup, Felix. Felix adores other dogs and has a laid back, friendly personality. Our home has a large sized yard. Though our yard is not fenced in, our neighborhood is extremely dog friendly, with parks in every direction, even right next door! We love to take walks as a family, enjoy local dog parks, and just snuggle on the couch too. We would love to host your fur baby!

Shelby was wonderful. She sent photos of my cat every day and kept me updated with her day today well-being. We’re so grateful to have found her and would use her again if needed.

A last minute appointment to have some work done on my house sent me scrambling to find someone to take my dog Tedy for the day. A friend recommended I try the Rover site. I saw Shelby's profile and sent her a message and she agreed to take him immediately. We were unable to actually meet each other beforehand, so I obviously had some reservations about leaving my dog with a "stranger", but Shelby and I had a good conversation the day before and it just felt right. My husband dropped Tedy off at Shelby's the next morning, Tedy got out of the car, went right over to Shelby and never looked back :) She sent me tons of pictures all day and Tedy was smiling in every one of them. He looked very content! Shelby was a huge help to me and my husband that day. I was very lucky to have found her on the Rover site. I would definitely use her services again, she was the perfect fit for Tedy's needs and gave me total peace of mind. I would definitely recommend Shelby's to my friends and family.
