Pet care experience

The next best thing to having you!

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.

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.

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!

Shelley is not only a great caregiver but also a great trainer, listener, and problem-solver!

Shelley was thorough and courteous in handling care. Excellent communications and attentiveness. Was very comfortable with her being in charge over time away.

Always responds to messages and arrives on time. Explains her other clients times so she could fit you in to her day.

We love Shelley! Our 3 pups feel like she is family. She is a great communicator and sends lots of pics so we know what is going on while we are away. Our dogs are always happy to see her.
