HAPPY TAILS are A WAGGIN!!!
Hi! I’m Shelley, a dependable and compassionate professional, pet and home sitter with extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and pets of all ages, breeds and other animals, including temperaments, and medical needs. I specialize in caring for dogs with special needs, including extensive experience with IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease), mobility limitations, bladder expression, medication schedules, post-surgical care, and senior pets requiring extra patience and attention. I understand how important consistency, safety, and trust are when caring for pets with medical or behavioral needs. In addition to special-needs care, I have experience with: Medication administration Structured feeding and medication schedules Energetic and high-exercise dogs Senior pets Puppies and reinforcement of routines Multi-pet households Cats of all ages (from bottle feeding to senior) Any kind of pet from Axolotls, fish, birds, rabbits, and more Overnight home sitting and property care. I pride myself on being communicative, cleanly, attentive, organized, and highly reliable.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
There aren't enough posititve words to describe Shelley. She is amazing. Benson loved every minute with her. She was very communicative and sent lots of pics and movies. She willingly got up at 4:30am for his morning walks before the heat set in. She went above and beyond with the way she left the house so clean. I was really able to enjoy my vacation because I didn't have to worry about Benson. She will be our sitter from now on!
Shelley was great and Amos told us that he really enjoyed his time with her. She was very friendly and available at the last minute. We will definitely use her services in the future.
Shelley was absolutely amazing with our dog bentley. She had a kind spirit that is almost like a dog whisperer and she also proactively keeps the house today and organized. Extremely prompt and trustworthy.
Shelley is an excellent pet caregiver. She is kind, stable, and loves animals. She is trustworthy, does a great job and I highly recommend her!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I offer care in both your home and mine to best fit your pet's needs and routine. I provide lots of quality time, supervision, and plenty of attention and potty breaks. My home is safe and secure with a fenced-in yard for exercise and lazy days in the sun. I am experienced with pets of all ages, from puppies to seniors and special needs, who may require extra attention. I have extensive experience in expressing bladders and administering medications on a strict schedule. I will provide daily updates, photos, and videos so you know your pet is safe, happy, and loved! I am not just offering pet care but peace of mind! :)
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I like to tailor the day to their personality and routine. For dogs who love to be active, we'll enjoy walks, playtime, fetch, and plenty of opportunities to burn off energy and have fun. For pets who prefer a slower pace, I'm always happy to spend time cuddling, giving belly rubs, and providing lots of one-on-one attention. Throughout the day, I make sure pets stay on their normal schedule with meals, potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of love and companionship. I also enjoy keeping pets mentally engaged with toys, games, and positive interaction. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is getting to know each pet's unique personality. Whether they want to play, explore, relax, or have someone nearby, my goal is to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
