Your furbaby is part of the family!

Pet care experience

I have taken care of pets since I was a child. Any type of pet is well-cared for and loved as if it were my own. For several years, I have been the go-to for friends and neighbors when help is needed to walk, board, and check in on their dog or cat. I devote time to ensure pets are happy and feel secure.

Shelly was so easy to work with, and it showed she really cared about our dogs. Will be using Shelly again!

Shelly is amazing! She helped me this week when I was in a pinch at work. Sky really enjoys her walks with her :)

Safety, trust & environment

I have a big, fenced yard for lots of running and playing. We live close to a park and love to take doggies on walks to and from the park. We have 3 cats who can be separated from other pets if needed. My 12 year old daughter loves to help with walks and playing with pets. My husband is a nurse and comfortable with administering medication and health-related issues. We are a family of animal lovers!

Information Shelly E. would like to know about your pet

I appreciate knowing your pet’s feeding, potty, sleep schedule. Does your pet have anything they don’t enjoy or we should avoid? How does your pet do around cats? What types of activities would you like me to do with your pet? I prefer a meet and greet before either of us commit to ensure a great experience for everyone. Once a request is accepted, if a response is not given within an hour, I will archive the request.

A typical day

Walks! Play time! Cuddles! Pup Cups! My goal is to keep your fur baby happy and entertained. We will enjoy walks to the park, playing fetch in our backyard, and going for drives (if doggie enjoys) for yummy pup cups. Resting on the couch after a busy day!
