Pet care experience

Chef Loves Pets

As a dependable and detail-oriented professional, I bring a calm, nurturing energy and a high level of responsibility to pet sitting. My background has instilled in me a deep respect for routines, cleanliness, and clear communication—meaning your home will be kept immaculate, and your pets will receive their meals, medications, and exercise exactly on schedule. Above all, I am genuinely attentive to animal behavior, ensuring your dogs or cats feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you are away. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, giving you complete peace of mind.

We were out of town for a week and Shelly was great with our cat! She gave him lots of pets and made sure his box was clean and his food bowl was full. I will be using her again in the future!

My cat is very wary of EVERYONE. She was comfortable enough with Shelly to come out and even to start eating in front of her. Shelly took excellent care of my girl, and I deeply appreciate her gentle and caring presence.

Schedule

Because I have a completely flexible, open schedule, I am available all day to dedicate my full attention to your pets. Unlike sitters who rush out for standard 9-to-5 jobs, my day revolves entirely around your animal's needs. This means I am consistently on hand to provide frequent bathroom breaks, maintain precise feeding and medication schedules, and offer plenty of daytime companionship and play. Your pets won't have to spend long hours waiting alone, giving them a stress-free, comfortable routine and giving you total peace of mind throughout the day.

Shelly can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
To ensure your pet's safety and well-being, it is essential to know their specific dietary needs, medication schedules, and any medical conditions or allergies ahead of time. Understanding their unique temperament, daily exercise routine, and any potential triggers or fears is equally important to help me keep them happy, calm, and comfortable. Finally, having clear instructions on household rules, supply locations, and your preferred emergency veterinary contact ensures a seamless and highly prepared care experience.
