Loving care when you’re not there

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Shelley Upchurch and I am 56 years old. I am originally from Huntington but spent several years in Florida and Virginia. I recently decided to try doing something I love which is taking care of animals. I know first hand how hard it is to find honest , reliable, and loving care for your pets. I have had pets my whole life and have fostered animals for several local rescue groups and also for groups in Florida. I have been actively involved with rescue for years. When I was growing up, my dad had a farm with horses, goats, donkeys and sheep so I have experience with several types of animals. I currently have 3 dogs and two cats of my own. I can provide personal and professional references along with vet references if needed. If you are ready for someone you can trust and depend on to care for your furbabies like they are their own then please request me. I look forward to meeting your furbabies and spending time with them. I am flexible with my schedule as this is going to be my only job right now so I can work with you on your scheduling needs. During my time with your babies, I will provide you with pictures and regular updates. I will love your furbabies in your absence like I would my own and provide them with the best care possible all while following your specific instructions.

Shelley was amazing with my dog who can sometimes be very skittish around new people. She has scared sitters in the past due to her barking but Shelley handled her like a champ. My dog took to Shelley right away and I appreciated knowing that she was in good hands during the day. Shelley sent many pictures and provided me with updates while she was at my house ensuring my dog got to potty, they played ball and she made sure she had food and water before she left each day. I would highly recommend Shelley and will definitely use her in the future.

Shelley house sat for our two dogs and provided exceptional care. She was dedicated to their needs and their routine was consistent. When we interviewed, she took notes and asked pertinent questions. She encouraged the use of our home cameras. Her communication was stellar as we received unprompted texts with pictures of our pets!!! The BEST thing about Shelley is this is her JOB!! She does not have an 8 hour day elsewhere so she spends quality time with her clients!! She took great care of our home and even cleaned when she left!!! Our dogs loved her and so did we!! We hope to keep her in the “family”!!!!

Shelley is so much help with my pets. My dog can have trouble warming up but he loved her from the start! He gets so excited when Shelley comes over to walk him. She always spends extra time with him and makes sure he gets a lot of love and attention during the day when we’re gone. Even my shy cat loves to visit with her. She sends photos and updates and always makes sure I know how they’re doing and what’s going on. I highly recommend Shelley if you need someone reliable that will love your pets like they’re her own! 🥰

My Chihuahuas are 11 years old and extremely spoiled. Shelley takes my role when I am out of town. She is amazing and remembers every detail of what my dogs needs are and exceeds my expectations. It’s an absolute wonderful feeling to be able to enjoy a vacation to the fullest knowing that Shelley is in my home with my babies and I don’t have to worry. She sends me the cutest pictures of them too! I’m so happy to have found her!
