Shelby can care for
Availability
I work from home and only occasionally have meetings, no longer than an hour at a time, so my schedule is flexible to fit your needs. My husband typically accompanies me on first visits or drop in visits after dark for safety precautions.

About Shelby W.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Doors to the outside and gates from the yard are never left open, I understand because my dogs (and cat) can be runners. When I let the doggos out to use the restroom, they will be watched and not left unattended. I understand that elements such as weather, pools, holes in fences, etc. play a part in safety when pets are outside. When I stop by for visits, your pets will get all the love to make up for any time they’ve been left alone.
Information Shelby W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dogs are not allowed on furniture, how they behave with each other if more than 1 (prone to tiffs, can eat together, etc.), how they act with other dogs if we are going on walks, if they require special attention (like bulldogs and the heat), or any other special qualities & quirks I should know about your fur babies!
A typical day
I talk to my dogs as much as I talk to my friends or husband! I believe this makes my pets feel loved and like part of the family. Going on walks, playing fetch, cuddling are just a few ways to keep my pets active and happy. When we are on walks, I like to let my dogs set the pace and sniff or run at their leisure. With that being said, I know my dogs especially don't know their limits, so I pay attention to the temperature and how active we've been so we know when to head back inside to cool off. We always stay aware of our surroundings at all times!

Pet care experience
I have a love for animals that you don’t see everyday. I deeply understand that your pets are your family, meaning their safety is my #1 priority. When your pet is in my care, they will be loved on and never left unattended. Sharing photos and text updates are a basic part of my drop in and walking care and I will always be available for calls/texts/facetimes should you have any questions, concerns or just want to say hi to your fur baby! I have also been a Dallas CASA volunteer for close to 2 years because caring for pets & children are truly a passion to me.
Reviews
I felt so comfortable leaving both my dog and cat with Shelby. She took such great care of them, sent lots of pics, and was very responsive. I felt at ease while on vacay, and could really enjoy my trip with no stress. 10/10 recommend! Will deff use again. 🫶🏻
Shelby was amazing! She followed instructions and took great care of my babies. So thankful I found her and I’ll be using her again for sure!
Shelby did a great job with my 13 year old dog that needed encouragement to eat and on meds. She followed all my directions making me feel very comfortable while out of town
Shelby did drop in visits for our two miniature schnauzers while we were away for the weekend. She took a great care of them, and provided detailed notes and pictures after each visit which was much appreciated. Highly recommend! Thank you Shelby!
