Pet care experience

🐕🦮🐩🐕‍🦺🐾🦴💕

I've had pets my entire life, from dogs and cats to small mammals, reptiles, and birds. Growing up in a miniature menagerie taught me responsibility and how to properly care for animals and adapt to each pet's unique needs. Reading animal behavior and connecting with each pet's personality is second nature to me. Whether it's maintaining your pet's familiar routine, providing engaging playtime, or offering companionship, I prioritize making your pets feel secure and loved in your absence.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize each pet’s comfort and personality, letting them set the pace for interactions. When entering a space, I allow the pet to approach me first and get down to their eye level to establish trust. I respect a cat’s independence and let them engage on their terms. When walking dogs, I exercise patience, allowing them to sniff and explore at their own pace, as I’ve learned this helps build trust and confidence. My approach ensures that every pet feels safe, respected, and cared for.

Shelley is a great sitter! She is responsive and very communicative when she was house sitting our cat and dog. Our dog and cat warmed up to her instantly during our meet & greet. It was obvious safety was very important to her as well. Would book again without hesitation!

Shelley took amazing care of our cat for a week while we were away. Our cat can be quite anxious but settled right in with Shelley. We received updates and photos, and our cat looked so relaxed and happy during her stay. Thank you, Shelley!

Shelley took the time to meet Waverly at our home prior to our trip. This gave her time to interact and go for a walk with Waverly, plus over see the meal prep. She sent us updates during her stay with Waverly. Waverly was very content in her care. Shelley is a responsible dog/house sitter that is reliable and trustworthy.

Let me know if your dog has any behaviors or special needs I can account for, like reactivity. I don’t bring dogs that I am sitting to dog parks unless explicitly told to.
