Information Shelley S. would like to know about your pet

Does your pup need medication, or have special food needs? Are they calm or aggressive? Do they get along with other dogs? What games do they like to play?

A typical day

I love taking the dogs out for walks and exploring new areas. I make sure to socialize them whenever possible and love playing games such as tug a war with rope toys, or throwing the ball.

We had such a wonderful experience with Shelley! She is truly kind, sweet, and incredibly accommodating. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease leaving our dog, Jack, in her care. Her home is warm and welcoming, and it was clear right away that Jack would be comfortable and well looked after. Shelley treated him with so much love and attention, and we could tell he was in great hands the entire time. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was safe, happy, and cared for like one of her own. We are so grateful and would absolutely trust Shelley again in the future. Highly recommend!

We've boarded our dog with Shelly twice now and have had an excellent experience with her services. Our dog loves staying with her and we love the photo and video updates from Shelly when we are out of town. We definitely plan on letting our dog stay with Shelly again the next time we need a sitter.

This is the 2nd time Shelley has watched our Velcro dog for us and we have been very happy with her. We came home both times to a very happy pup!

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.
