Pet care experience
Hi all! I'm 30 years old and will take very good care of your pets! In University I walked dogs for 3 years and would house sit here and there when the opportunity came up. My regular walkers in University where 2 twin black labs who loved to run and swim and a Bulldog who prefered to trot beside me. In my personal life I have many adorable fluffy "nephews & nieces" who I love to spend my free time with. They are a combination of a Saint Bernard, a Newfoundland, German shepherds, American Bullies, & a mixed baby. I think it's fair to say I love dogs of all sizes! I decided to join Rover to re-enter the world of giving people's pets some TLC which will hopefully help me to paying my student loans. During the week I do work as a provider with underprivileged teens in Boston; my time will be divided but I am mindful of time and everyone's needs. I will only agree to what I can 100% promise to fully attend to as every dog deserves the best! Reach out with any questions!
Reviews
Shelby was great with the dogs and a reliable walker; communicative; kind; timely; and I do appreciate her being willing to accommodate my second dog last minute when her daycare was closed for the day! Thank you so much!
It’s such a comfort to know that Shelby is caring for my dogs when I travel. The dogs love her, and she is very reliable and professional! Excellent house sitter and we will keep booking with her. Thank you, Shelby!
Shelby was super sweet with our very shy dog.
My two dogs loved Shelby! She took such good care of them and sent me the sweetest pictures while I was gone. She’s reliable, professional and has great communication. I will definitely book her again in my next trip.

Safety, trust & environment
Whether in others homes or my own I do whatever I can to make sure the dogs are comfortable. I try to stick to the routine they have built already so they know what to expect. I recently moved to Maine from Mass & I have a beautiful fenced in back yard for playing & running around. I keep the first floor of the house open to the dogs & close off the upstairs. At my home I have a hammock like dog bed which usually has a blanket or two on it, a few toys, and dog bowls for water & food. I usually suggest owners bring food in case the dog has a special diet or preference.

Information Shelby W. would like to know about your pet
I try my best to accommodate the pet and their needs! I'm happy to meet them prior to make sure we all get along and I know what accomodations they may need. If your pet takes medications or has other special needs just let me know!
A typical day
The typical day will depend on the dog and it's needs! For high energy dogs I enjoy playing outside with them or going for walks. Some dogs prefer to stay inside and cuddle up which I also enjoy!

I'm currently working Tuesday-Saturday in Boston with teens. Right now we are hybrid but if this we're to change I will update all I work with. I work 1-3 days a week in the office & the other days I work from home. Days I work from home I am very flexible & can engage with the dogs throughout the day. On days I'm in the office I'm typically there between 10am-6:30pm so I would only have mornings and evenings to focus on the pet.
