I am unable to take care of pets in my home as my lease does not allow for it. For overnight care, I am happy to stay in your home.

Please let me know of any special requests or needs your pets may have! I am happy to accommodate any unique requests you have for your pet.

A typical day

I love walking and will gladly take your dog for as long of walks as they want! In the past, I've had several clients that allow me to drive dogs to hiking areas, and I am happy to do that as well, depending on your comfort level. I also love playing fetch, practicing tricks, and setting up puzzle toys for dogs.

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Shelby Weisburg, and I moved to Crested Butte in July. I grew up in Colorado Springs, and I just graduated this May with my Masters of Fine Arts in Fiction Writing. My partner works for Adaptive, and we moved here to support her in her new position. Housesitting helped me pay my bills through graduate school and get some time with animals! I've housesat for puppies and dogs with special needs, including physical disabilities and pharamceutically managed illness. With good instruction, I am game for anything!

I highly recommend Shelby! She is a dog whisperer. On top of that, she's extraordinarily responsible, communicative, and an all-around awesome person. We're so lucky to have found her.

Shelby was amazing! After picking up my last minute request, Shelby was communicative, helpful, and even bonded with my dog, Lola, during her stay. I would highly recommend Shelby!

Shelby was an excellent dog sitter! She administered medications, followed a difficult feeding routine and took our younger dog running! She was a great communicator sending photos and updates. She left the house spotless, watered plants, and even washed the sheets. I would highly recommend her!

Shelby was great, and our dog Harry loved her! She was very communicative throughout her stay out our house. She sent photos and texts with updates on Harry and how they spent their days. Lots of fetch (Harry’s favorite!) and walks to the park. I will definitely use Shelby for house/dog sitting in the future!
