Pet care experience

Whose pet is ready for a new bff?

Hi! My name is Shelby. I am a dog owner and a recent graduate with a Bachelor degree in Animal Science on the path of becoming a veterinarian. I am looking to take care of pets of any size. I have experience from all over but the most significant one is my workplace where I functioned as a veterinarian technician, so I’m more than confident in my pet handling skills. With that job came responsibilities like medicating animals, watching and understanding body language, looking out for problematic symptoms, etc. all things I succeed in. At the practice, we dealt with dogs and cats of all different sizes and temperament, so there’s little room to worry if you book with me. With that being said, getting to meet your fabulous pet would be a great pleasure for me not only because I love animals but because it moves me forward in what I strive to become, which is, an understanding and caring doctor of veterinary medicine!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fur baby of my own so I know how important it is to make sure whoever takes care of your pet is doing their very best and nothing less of that. I am an active listener so whatever you want me to do it will be done to a tee. Crating, giving medicine, enrichment activities, etc. are all things within my capabilities and even if something isn’t I will be sure to let you know beforehand. I have house sit before so updates on anything will always be given and I will leave your home just as it was. Your home and pet is like another part of you so I would never treat it as less than that.

Shelby was amazing! She was patient, gave extra details about the visit, thorough, and made sure my Roxie girl was safe every step of the way. She communicated with me and sent so many photos! I will definitely book with her again in the future and highly recommend her to others. Thank you Shelby!

Cleo was well taken care of and I was updated every step of the way. I felt at ease knowing that Shelby was being so attentive and caring for my girl. I'll definitely be rebooking next time I need a sitter.

Shelby was absolutely wonderful with our cats Peanut & Simba. She was communicative and sent us pictures regularly during her visits. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!!

Personality! It’s so important for me to understand your pet and its body language, and with that comes understanding who they are as a pet. What are their quirks? Are they reactive on walks? Do they have a feeding ritual? Do they view the vacuum as their mortal enemy? All of those questions and more are relevant in making your pet have the best time with me!
