Reliable, energetic animal lover!
Pet care experience
I often dog sit for friends and family, including house sitting and walking! I am unable to have or foster dogs in my own home because of living arrangements, so I love having opportunities to hang out with and care for others' pups (of all ages, sizes, and comfort levels) and other animals! I know no two are the same so I look to make pups and parents comfortable in their own spaces. I like to get to know dogs and their families individually so I can do the best for them as l can. I have found that I love sitting dogs of all temperaments and personalities because it allows me to try new things based on the various comfort levels of different pups. :)
Reviews
Shelby does a great job with my spoiled girls! They are always calm and relaxed when I get home from a long trip. Thanks much Shelby!
Shelby was great! We received photos and updates daily for each of our three pets. She also took car of ours flowers and herbs, watering them daily, while we were away. If you want an amazing pet and home sitter book her.
Shelby was absolutely amazing. She was referred to us through our neighbor, and she watched our two little dogs and our cat. She was super communicative, our house looked just like we left it, and the pics of the dogs cuddling and the cat being a weirdo really sealed the deal. We rebooked with her before we even got home! We highly recommend her. Thanks, Shelby!
Shelby did a great job! I don't even think our cat missed us :) Shelby was really communicative and flexible.
About Shelby T.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When sitting in someone's home, I always ask about any special crating routines, locks, alarms, or other special circumstances regarding the security of your home and your pets. I am quick to reach out with any questions or concerns that arise and will always prioritize the safety and care of your home and pets while I am sitting for you.
Information Shelby T. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if there is anything in particular the dog doesn't like or likes especially so that I can make sure they are comfortable with and around me.I would also like to know about special diets or preferences of the dog, and other preferences and needs of the pups' parents so that you are comfortable as well!
A typical day
I'm super flexible with dogs' needs so whatever the pups enjoy I'm willing to give a try! Dog beach, parks, trails, oh my! I do not have a car so favorite parks or routes closer by your home are ideal but I do try to mix it up for them when I can.

Availability
I work full-time for 10+ hour days, so my best availability for sitting is typically Fri-Mon. However, if you have a regular walker to come during the day or have a pet that does not need to be taken out on a regular schedule, I can easily flex to provide longer stays.
