Experienced & Flexible Pet Sitting

Hi there! My name is Shelby and I’ve taken care of variety or different types of pets and livestock over the years. I worked as an equine veterinary assistant for over 5 years and have always known I wanted animals to be apart of my daily life. Since my teenage years I have been pet sitting for family, friends, and other clients. I love caring for a wide variety of animals from world champion show greyhounds, chickens, or your house cat. I am punctual and reliable and will love your pet!

Wow! Best dog sitter we've had in Sun Valley! Shelby provided a continuous stream of photos and information while we we gone so we never worried about our pups or our home. Shelby left our home sparkling clean.

We couldn't ask for more in a dog sitter! Shelby was a true dog whisperer, from long walks, constant snuggles, and many photos to keep us up to speed on what was going on while we were away. We can't wait for our next visit!

Shelby did an excellent job on a week-long stretch of drop-in visits for our cat. She gave daily updates and went above and beyond by bringing in packages from the door, cleaning up cat hair (which gets everywhere in a week's time), and taking out the trash. The videos she sent were hilarious. Never worried about the fuzzball or our condo while we were away. Shelby has been our best Rover-sitter yet, and we'll be using her next time.

Schedule

I am available to take care of animals through the night as well as mornings, lunches, and in the evenings. My schedule is fairly flexible.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Shelby can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Before taking care of your dog, horse, chicken, goat, cat, llama, whatever creature you may have, I would love to know their regular schedule to try and keep them to that schedule the best I can. Additional key information for me is emergency contact numbers and your veterinarian.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
