Safety, trust & environment

While staying at your place, I am clean and tidy. I try to keep to your schedule as closely as possible while you're away. And lots of playtime helps keep them from thinking about how much they miss you.

Information Shelley J. would like to know about your pet

When keeping your pet, I would like to know the following: Temperment Energy level Behavioral Issues - I can help with that! Feeding schedule Outdoor break schedule Any medications or health issues/concerns I have a questionairre that I ask you to fill out, print, and leave for me at the time of your booking. Please add any and all additional info you'd like me to know.

A typical day

I love taking dogs on walks in their own neighborhood so they can sniff all the familiar smells and add a few of their own. It's also fun to take pets on new adventures, full of unfamiliar and intriguing sights and smells, preferably a greenway to steer clear of traffic. I try to incorporate learning into all activites, whether it's learning to sit while being leashed for a walk or training your pet to sit in the first place. Playing fetch is one of my favorite games, right up there with tug of war.

Pet care experience

I've loved animals ever since I can remember. All animals add such value to our existence, teaching us how to care and love selflessly on many levels. It is my goal to care for your pet in ways that allow them to feel comfortable, respected, and minimize any separation anxiety they might experience while you're away. Patience is key in developing trust and respect with any animal. I currently share my world with a 15 year old Chipin, a Chihuahua-Miniature Pinscher, weighing 8 lbs. Never a dull moment with this little guy! He does not accompany on any bookings. It is a privilege to be able to interact with animals and it would be a privilege to work with your pet(s) too. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Shelley took great care of our shy kitty while we were away for a few days. I will definitely be requesting her services in the future.

Shelley is wonderful and I would highly recommend her. She is warm and friendly. My dog warmed up to her right away (which is unusual). She kept me informed with each visit. I will definitely use Shelley again!

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.
