Pet care experience

Experienced Dog Mom of 5!

Hey there! I'm an experienced dog mom with years of experience with both my own dogs and foster dogs. I also had a cat for almost 18 years, who is really responsible for my love of animals 🥹 I currently have 5 dogs of my own - Ginger (pug/jack mix who is 17.4 and blind/mostly deaf), Bella (puggle who is almost 17 and has 2 autoimmune disorders), Bailey (pug/jack mix who is 15 and deaf/going blind), and Oscar (puggle who is 13), and Manatee (American Bully who is 9). I also foster for a local rescue, both as a long term and short term/temp foster. Needless to say, I am well versed with dogs of all sizes and breeds! I also have a lot of experience administering oral medications, injections, subcutaneous fluids, topical medications, and eye drops to both cats and dogs. Because I have special needs seniors of my own, I know how difficult it can be to find someone who really “gets it” and who you can trust to care for your pet(s). I promise to always care and love for your pets as if they were my own.

Safety, trust & environment

At this time, I am offering pet sitting in your home, drop in visits, and walking services. Sitting in your home is exactly what it sounds like- I stay in your home and treat your animals and home as if it were my own. I will spend each night in your home and try to limit my time outside of the home as much as possible. Drop ins would include lovin and/or play time, outdoor/potty time, and any medication administering as needed. Dog walking would include... well, dog walking!

My doggo looks forward to Shell's visits! He is always so happy to see her, they have a great time. So thankful to have a doggie-sitter as reliable and caring as Shell!

We had a sitter with a last-minute emergency and had to cancel... how stressful! Well, not only was Shell willing to help us out on short notice, she was absolutely amazing! Our dog got such great attention from her; her love for dogs is undeniable. She is such a kind and caring sitter and she sent such detailed updates while we were away. She is a lifesaver and we are so thankful for her. Our dog has a new BFF... he had such a great time hanging with her! It was a pleasure booking with Shell and we can't wait to use her again!

Shell waited on our pets hand a foot and went out of her way to make them feel comfortable. She also kept us completely up to date on how they were doing. My dog is an emotionally shut down dog and my cat is 20 years old so they needed that special care and they got it . We are grateful to have Shell as a sitter !

Shell was amazing with my babies! She even sent frequent updates with photos. It put my mind at ease to know that they were well taken care of.

We asked She’ll to house sit and dog sit for us for five nights. Our dog is very anxious and it was so nice to allow her to stay in the house instead of at a kennel. She’ll went above and beyond taking care of our girl. I’d recommend her without hesitation!

Awesome sitter! My dogs were well taking care of and she was communicating with me and giving me updates about how they were doing! My house was clean and she brought in all my packages! Would definitely book again !

Schedule

I am currently working full time, but am also on Rover because I'd like a side gig during the evenings and weekends and what is better than being paid to love on animals?! (The answer is nothing!) I'm doing this to help pay for our ever growing vet balance for our own senior dogs. I promise to love on your doggos (or kitties!) give them whatever they need, and not snoop around your house like a weirdo 😂

Cats
0 to 15 lbs

Shell can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Please let me know about any special needs, medications, or preferences of your beloved doggo or cat! I will follow your directions exactly as described.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
