Hi. My name is Shelley. I have a somewhat flexible schedule. I decided to stop working in corporate america to become an independent consultant. I used to be a vet tech and have owned animals my entire life. I work from home so I'm able to take walks and let dogs out every couple hours. I have cats of my own and love to spend anytime I can with your dogs to exercise them and give them a ton of attention. They deserve it, too!! The animals we bring into our homes are our family and I believe they should be treated like family. I grew up with animals - dogs, cats, bunnies and want to be able to make your kiddos feel special. I have experience caring for dogs from puppies to geriatric. I will also carry through with your discipline requirements. If you don't allow them on the couch, then neither will I.
