Ratings and reviews
Shelley did an incredible job taking care of my home and pets! I would highly recommend her services.
I highly recommend Shelley as a dog sitter. She took wonderful care of my dog, Lucy, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Shelley is dependable, caring, attentive, and truly loves animals. Lucy was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time, which means everything to me as a pet owner. Shelley went above and beyond to make sure Lucy’s routine stayed consistent, and it was obvious how much patience and affection she showed her. I would absolutely trust her again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and compassionate to care for their pets. Just love her!
Shelley is a former neighbor who became a friend. She is a deeply caring person. I would entrust my little poodle to her without hesitation! Although I have not actually hired her to care for my dog, I'm writing this to attest to her character and qualification to safeguard your pet.
Shelley is such a thoughtful caregiver - when my dog was a puppy she was very conscientious of my training efforts while also being attentive and affectionate. I trusted her without worry to come to my home to feed him and take him for walks. Would highly recommend Shelley hands down!
Shelley is a kind, caring, high-energy person. Her compassion naturally extends to all furry friends as well. From her own pets at home, to the neighborhood's four-legged family members, she will quickly become a favorite of your fur-babies.
I highly recommend Shelley as a dog sitter! She is reliable and great with our dog Poogan. She follows instructions exactly, and keeps Poogan happy and safe when we are away. We’ve used her exclusively for around 8 years.

Schedule
I have a hybrid work schedule and typically work from home Thursdays and Fridays. I have flexible availability Thursdays-Sundays. I am available for pet sitting any days, as long as I have a couple days' notice to plan for longer stays. I am very fit and active and spend a lot of time in Patterson Park with my own animals. I am available to drive longer distances to care for pets as well. For sitting, I would ideally be able to bring along my little dog, Louise with me. She is very well behaved and great with other dogs and people.
