Highlights
Pet care experience
Warm, reliable, experienced animal-loving family<3
We have several years of experience in house and pet sitting, during which I've cared for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds and small animals. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, administering medication, and providing plenty of affection and attention to ensure the pets feel comfortable and secure. I've also managed daily tasks such as watering plants, collecting mail, and maintaining the cleanliness and security of the home. Through these experiences, I've developed strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage time effectively, ensuring that all tasks are completed according to the owners instructions. I take pride in being a trustworthy and reliable caretaker, always putting the well-being of the pets and the security of the home as my top priorities.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in their own home, I treat the space with the utmost respect, just as I would my own. I understand how important it is for animals to feel safe and secure in their familiar surroundings, so I take time to gently build trust, follow their routines closely, and maintain a calm, nurturing environment. I prioritise clear communication with owners, keeping them updated and reassured while they're away. I’m confident managing home routines such as feeding, walking, administering medications, and keeping litter areas or feeding spaces clean and hygienic. Safety and trust are at the heart of everything I do and I always leave the home as clean and peaceful as I found it.
Ratings and reviews
Shelley was absolutely amazing with Bolt and caring for my home. Couldn't have asked for better and I highly recommend her if you need. Communication was superb and my puppy and house were in better hands than my own.
Shelley looked after Zena beautifully and we returned to a very chilled dog after a 12 hour day in London! We would definitely use Shelley again if she was available - thank you very much x
Shelley was fantastic and would not hesitate to ask her to take care of my dog again. Cooper lived being with her and the family and I felt at ease. Communication was great and looking forward to having her again. Thank you Shelly.
We had Shelley look after our golden retriever while we were away, absolutely fantastic nothing was a problem. We were very happy leaving Vinnie with Shelley, and will definitely use her again. Excellent service 10/10.
I wholeheartedly recommend Shelley for any pet sitting role. She is one of the most caring and trustworthy people I know, with a natural way with animals. With plenty of experience pet sitting, as well as growing up with a range of small pets herself, she is confident and capable with all kinds of animals. What sets Shelley apart is not only her reliability, but also the genuine love and attention she gives to the pets in her care. Her own home is a warm, welcoming environment, and her children share the same gentle and respectful nature when it comes to animals. You can be sure your pet will be treated like part of the family. Whether you need someone for a weekend or a longer stay, I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my pets in Shelleys care. She is responsible, communicative, and always goes the extra mile.

Schedule
As a home-educating family, our days are flexible and centred around a calm, balanced lifestyle that allows us to spend quality time both learning and enjoying the outdoors. Pet care fits beautifully into our routine, it’s a natural part of our rhythm. We genuinely enjoy being around animals, and caring for them brings us joy and a sense of connection to nature. Because I also work as a massage therapist and microblading artist, I can schedule my appointments around pet-sitting duties, ensuring your pets get the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Whether it’s early morning feeds, midday walks, or evening cuddles, I can adapt to your pet’s needs while keeping their routine steady and stress-free.
