Exercise and tricks for your dog!

Pet care experience

I am a new resident to Austin with a love for animals of all shapes and sizes and a passion for dog training and rescue/rehabilitation. I have a flexible schedule, and I’m looking to take your dogs on trails, long walks and teach them tricks to keep them happy while you’re away on vacation or at work. I have lots of experience working with animals of all shapes and sizes! I’ve been a foster parent for dogs of all shapes and sizes since 2010 and have been awarded foster parent of the year twice and maintained a seat on the board of directors with a dog rescue while living in Georgia. While working through behavioral modification with foster animals, working at a nonprofit animal clinic and schooling horses at a training facility throughout college, I have gained valuable experience with special needs animals (both behavioral and medical). If you’re looking for an experienced, trustworthy pet caretaker I’m your girl! Please contact me if you would like some references!

I highly recommend Shelby. She took excellent care of my cat while I was away and I could tell that my cat was well-loved and well-cared for. I will definitely be using her services again in the future!

I’ve already left a review for Shelby, but I’ll leave another because she’s amazing! Shelby is my go-to sitter for my cat Carl now, and every time she’s watched Carl, I always come home to a happy pet. I never have to worry when I travel when Shelby is my pet sitter!

Information Shelby W. would like to know about your pet

Important things for me to know about your pet include: specific fears, exercise requirements or limitations, any health concerns, allergies, medication requirements, and bad habits.

A typical day

I will provide mental and physical stimulation for your pet by walking them around the local parks and provide the exercise required for your pooch. One of my favorite activities with my personal dogs is trick training. If interested, I can spend my time with your pet teaching them fun tricks! Simple tricks can provide even more mental stimulation than a simple walk and help perfect your dogs obedience skills.
