Highlights
Pet care experience
I will treat your pet like my own!
I have 31 yrs of professional experience with dogs as it was my past career. (Supervisor at local Humane Society). I have fostered small dogs (mainly senior, ill or neglected) for two decades. I believe that pets are family and deserve utmost attention. My large backyard is fully fenced with a large maple tree and a deck with immediate access to the indoors. I have no issues with incontinent dogs and have experience with diabetic pets. Your pet will be part of my home and treated like it is my own. Your pet will be welcome on my couch and bed. I have a fantastic cat who is loves everything I bring into our home. Oliver is sweet, easy going and super dog savvy. I also carry a certificate in Pet First-Aid/CPR. Your pet can receive extra care if requested such as bathing, brushing, small trims such as around the eyes and nail trim. At this stage of my life, I am home most of the time aside from having a few clients who I walk for mid-day. My yard is very safe and well-fenced and live in a quiet neighborhood. *I do take in multiple dogs at a time so your dog will most likely have friends to play with. I only accept small dogs (under 20 lbs) that are excellent with other dogs and cats. I have a large clientele so most dogs have been regulars for a few years and the dogs all know each other.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We had Shelley take our 2 dogs for a walk today. Gus is a rescue and is very nervous and does not take to new people easily...it is a slow warm-up. When he met Shelley for the first time, he sniffed her foot and his tail just started wagging!! He loved her. Their first walk with Shelley went really well. We have found the perfect dog sitter for our 2 dogs --and we are very grateful.
Shelley is the best pet sitter ever - I have a senior (18 year old dog) that requires a lot of care, and Shelley does a wonderful job every time. He gets lots of supervised play time in the backyard, lots of love, is well fed, and is always super clean when I pick him up. It eases a lot of stress knowing that my dog is so well taken care of when I am away, especially given his age!
Shelley stood out immediately when I was searching for a sitter—she had the most reviews and the highest rating. From our first conversation and visit, it was clear that she is experienced, caring, and truly loves animals. While I was traveling, Shelley gave our little fur baby, Double, a wonderful second home. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. She was also very thoughtful and emailed me updates knowing the app might not work while I was overseas. Thank you, Shelley! I truly appreciate the great care you gave Double and would happily book with you again. 🐾
Leo had fun with Shelley and other dogs. Would definitely recommend 😇
Donut had a great time with Shelley and met some new doggy friends!
Shelley took great care of our precious boy. He was so happy and tired after a full day of play! We would definitely Moseby in Shelley’s care again. I highly recommend her.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My yard is fully fenced and secure. My patio door goes to the deck and yard. I only walk them in my neighborhood and never on the busy roads. If I have permission, I do take some regulars in the car or the park. When I need to leave the house, dogs can be separated into rooms or crated in their crates. I only occasionally ever have to do this and leave them with full range of the house. However, if needed they can be separated.
Pets
A typical day
When your pet is with me, we will engage with fun silly play time, have full run of my large secure fenced in yard, play fetch, engage with your dog's favourite toys. Many dogs enjoy checking out my cat(s). We will have walks in a very friendly dog-loving neighbourhood with weather permitting, casual nights on the couch, cuddles and whatever you directly ask of me that your pet enjoys or requires. In the summer time, I have a kiddie pool for your pets enjoyment and to cool off.
Prices include all fees.
