Former Vet Assistant & Animal Lover!

Pet care experience

As a former veterinary assistant, and animal biology student, I know everything there is to know about our canine/feline friends (and other furry pals!) and their care. Despite changing course in my professional life, my love of animals is unwavering. I am responsible, flexible, energetic and on the ball. Willing to travel (as long as it's not terribly far and / or accessible via public transit). About this sitter: Lifelong animal/dog lover and former veterinary assistant/animal biology student. I grew up in a household with dogs (and cats!) and cannot think of a better way to spend my time than walking a dog, playing, or cuddling with a little furry friend. I also believe my experience as a former student of veterinary medicine, and employee at an animal hospital, sets me apart. You can feel at ease knowing that I'm looking after your pup, as I have seen it all and am very comfortable with animals, responsible, and knowledgeable when it comes to animals and their well-being. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. As a child, I grew up in a very lively household in which we always had at least two dogs and two cats. My childhood would not have been the same otherwise. Animals, and especially dogs, are the most wonderful companions. Although I don't (yet) have a dog of my own, I would love the opportunity to care for your little one and spoil them rotten until your return. My experience administering medication Absolutely. As a former veterinary assistant, I have plenty of experience in administering medicine. I can even clip claws and clean ears, if needed!

We were in a bind and needed someone to watch our pup for a full week. Shelby was quick to respond and took incredible care of Luna while we were in the middle of a move! Thank you so much!

Shelby took great care of our four months old Labrador retriever. She always kept us updated and sent us pictures. We especially appreciate her patience as our dog Is still a young puppy without much training. Highly recommended!

Shelby was great with my dog Tawny! Tawny is very shy around new people and pulls a lot on walks but Shelby was very patient with her and took great care of her! It's hard to find someone on the city that you can trust to take care of your dog but I felt very comfortable with Shelby and I'm so happy I found her!
