I will walk your dog/s, let them outside in a fenced in year and play with them, spend time in your home playing and loving on them, feed them if needed, and always make sure they have fresh water, and feed them if needed.

Information Shelley G. would like to know about your pet

I schedule meet & greets for new clients. Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, their behavior cues, what they like to do or not. If they have treats or chew bones they can have during my visit, and what their favorite toy may be. And if they will try to get out the door when I arrive.

A typical day

I love to make sure dogs are exercised by walking, throwing ball, tug-of-war, puzzle games, or if they just love to sit and snuggle I am always up for that! I enjoy taking care of cats as well. I have watched cats that had a harness and leash to go outside.

Dog/Cat Sitter CPR/1st Aid-Insured

Pet care experience

My furkids are family! I care for the pets that I take care of, like my own. I am dog/cat certified in First Aid & CPR through American Red Cross. I am also insured through Pet Care Insurance. For House Sitting/Overnight Stays I will be there from 5pm-7am. I have recurring dog walks/pet visits during the day. If you will need a dog walk or pet visit, those will have to be scheduled separately. We can discuss this during the Meet and Greet. 🐾 We have 2 Golden Retrievers, Niko & Cooper, who have totally different personalities and I love them for it! I am a Volunteer at Alaqua Animal Rescue. In the past we have had a Jack Russell, and 3 English Mastiffs. Our last one, Koda Bear, was 10 years old and 215 lbs when we lost him, October 2022. I have taken care of my grandpups and grandcats as well. I am a dog lover that has helped several rescues back home. I am an approved foster mom for puppies/dogs at a local shelter back home. I am outgoing, and a great communicator. I do meet & greets with new clients. I feel it's important to talk in person, meet your pet/s, and go over needs/wants. If you need someone to help out with pickup or dropoff to groomers and/or daycare, I am willing to communicate with you on details & charge. I LOVE my job...being able to do something I love!

Shelly took great care of our 2 boys. She sent us plenty of pictures and the boys looked happy and content. We would definitely recommend and use Shelly again.
