Pet care experience

Loving Caregiver for your furry fam

Hi there! I'm Shelley, and I've been surrounded by animals my whole life. At 13, I started my first job at a veterinary hospital, assisting doctors and caring for overnight patients. I worked there for 5 years, gaining valuable hands-on experience. Growing up with horses, cats, bunnies, hamsters, and even helping my parents breed beagles, animals have always been a big part of my world. I followed in my sister's footsteps and began horseback riding as a toddler, competing in Western events until graduating high school. Over the years, I've owned several dogs, including a Pomeranian, Cockapoo, Mini-American Eskimo, and two Boston Terriers, and I dream of adding a Maltese to the mix! I'm an active person and love caring for animals. In my neighborhood, I’ve helped many pet parents with dog sitting and check-ins while they’re out of town. Additionally, I volunteer at a horse camp, where I help children experience the emotional benefits of being around animals. I’d be honored to care for your furry family members, providing them with the same love and attention that I give my own pets!

I highly recommend Shelley to watch your fur babies! She would provide excellent care for any animal. She is incredibly sweet, patient, and reliable individual—qualities that are essential when caring for pets. As a mother and a former nanny, Shelley has a natural ability to nurture and take care of others. I trust her completely and believe she would make any pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, Shelley is the perfect choice.

Shelley has owned dogs since she was 1 year old. Her parents raise beagles for a couple years. Shelley worked as a veterinarian assistant for 2 years while in high school and after. She is a dog lover and perfect for this kind of work.

Schedule

As a mother, I understand the importance of flexibility. I am available every day of the week, including evenings, for pet check-ins, dog walking, and other pet care needs. I can easily adjust my schedule around my daughter's school drop-offs and pick-ups, ensuring that your pet receives the attention and care they need. I have plenty of availability to look after your pet when you need me most. Rest assured, your pet will always have my full attention and care during our time together!
