Pet care experience

Dog and cat lover!

I love dogs and cats! I own a cat and when I was growing up I grew up with a dog. I have also volunteered at Petsmart in the cat room, helping to socialize the cats and cleaning up after them. My cat Comet sleeps in my bed every night and I love it! I also volunteered at a vet's office and I enjoyed helping out in any way I was able to. I have also recently decided to study to become a dog trainer. I have learned so much and I am looking forward to learning more. If it leads to it perhaps some of you might be interested in me training your dog at some point. I am looking forward to meeting all of you and your lovable cats and dogs soon! The majority of the time I am available during the weekdays from about 9-3:00. I might also be available after 3:00 but it will depend upon a couple of things since I have children. Most of the time I am also available on weekends too. If I take care of your pet at your home I will make sure he or she is in a fenced in backyard if you have one and if need be I can put your dog into a crate. Most weekdays I am available from 9-3. I am usually also available weeknights after 6:00 and most weekends too for the majority of the day or evening. I always make sure that when I go into someone's home that their dog won't run out. I would quickly enter a person's home. Also, if you would like I can put up a gate if you'd like your dog to stay in one area of your home or I could crate your dog.

Safety, trust & environment

When I take care of cats I watch the door carefully to make sure the cat(s) won't escape. With dogs I make sure the harness is secure.

Shelly was excellent with our cat. Extremely friendly, thoughtful, and thorough with both our cat and her (nervous) owners! Thanks, Shelly!

I feel that it's important to know how a dog typically behaves, such as a dog being a little shy or afraid of skateboards and bikes.
