Animals are my passion!
Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Shelly. As far as I can remember I have always LOVED animals of all kinds. Well maybe not roaches, but all others. I've had iguanas, turtles, bearded dragons, chameleons, koi, fresh water aquarium fish, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, bunnies and birds. At the moment I have a Panther Chameleon, Bearded Dragon, Redfoot Tortoises, Gold Macaw named "J.J." (yes, after Mr. Watt from the Texans), 6 rescue dogs named "Maya", "Shorty", "Nicki", "Brandy", "Missy", and "Toby", and last but not least..."Tank", my 100 lb plus Sulcata Tortoise. At the age of 57, I can say I have lots of experience with animals...and I never tire of their antics. I can't even remember how many times I have stopped on the highway to rescue turtles that are trying to cross the busy roads. I have rescued dogs and found homes for them...the two I have now were rescues that came at a time where I could take in another dog. They are my soulmates. I would be happy to bring in your mail, newspaper, water the plants, garden, whatever you might need to keep things going while you are away. Whatever is needed to make your pet feel safe and comfortable is not only my goal, but my pleasure. I'd like to spend 30 minutes on each visit with your pet and if your pet has any medications or special needs I would certainly like to go over them with you so that I can ensure that all of your pets needs are met. My years of experience with watching other peoples pets is alot longer than 4 year but for being paid to do it, it's been 5 years since moving back to Houston. I have years of experience with all kinds of pets. When I moved back down here from the Dallas area, the move was carefully planned around the pets so that it was as stress free as possible. My pets are my family and my life. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your furry, feathery or scaled family members. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Reviews
Shelly is the best pet sitter. She always follows our instructions and we know the dogs are well cared did while we are out of town.
Shelly is fantastic! She watched our kitties for a few days while we were on a work trip, and we felt so good leaving them in her caring hands. We will be working with Shelly again for sure and highly recommend her! Thanks, Shelly; Luke and Leia have a great time with you!
Shelly is the best! My bulldogs love her!
So thankful for Shelly! She took care of our pets over Thanksgiving holiday even though we were out of the way for her.

Safety, trust & environment
I primarily care for the pets in the clients home where they are most comfortable. At some point I would love to be able to board pets at my home but at the moment I'm just not set up for that.
Information Shelly D. would like to know about your pet
Any information you can give me about special needs, requirements, medications, preferences, etc...will help me provide the pet with a more comfortable experience with the least amount of anxiety possible.
A typical day
The style of pet sitting all depends on the needs and likes of the pet. I'm very flexible. Every pet is different. Some like to play alot, while some like to just lay next to you and cuddle. Whatever the pet and owner prefers is what I will be happy to provide. I'm a jack of all trades...I have a macaw, tortoise, guinea pig and two dogs that all require different types of attention. I can come by your home Friday after 5 for a potty break and/or feeding and later in the evening for another break and visit. Saturday and Sunday there will be at least 3 visits each day.

Availability
I work a full time job in addition to pet sitting, so most of my clients are working pet parents. My reviews reflect the care I give to their pets. I will do everything possible to ensure your pet feels safe and happy.
