Safety, trust & environment

I will make sure I take the necessary steps to ensure your dog is safe. I can easily crate a dog or make sure they are kept in a designated space in the house as needed.

Information Shelly G. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know any important info on your pet so I can best support and work with them during my time watching or walking them. Do they get along with other dogs? Are they okay with little kids? Do they have any special needs or health concerns? Is it ok to take them for a hike or to a dog park? Have they been treated for fleas?

A typical day

I love to make sure your pet can get out their full energy through playing games and running around. We will explore new paths and neighborhood parks together.

Pet care experience

I am the go to “dog auntie” for my friends and family and am always the first to volunteer to care for friends and families pets. I grew up with dogs for my whole life and truly love spending time with them. I have had experience dog sitting, fostering, walking and doing dog check ins with various types of dogs (from puppies to seniors and small(Chihuahua) to big(German Shepard)). I work remote most days and have a flexible schedule throughout the week. I always aim to go on a daily walk or hike in the neighborhood and would love to be able to bring your dog along! I am more than happy to take your pup out for a walk or to do home check ins to feed them, let them out, provide medication etc. I hope to hear from you and to get the chance to meet your pet!

Shelly has cared for my dog Noodle since she was a tiny puppy—walking her, pet sitting, and loving her like her own. As a coworker, I can vouch that Shelly is reliable, responsible, and always follows through. As a friend, she's warm, funny, and full of heart. And as a fellow pet parent, I can say with total confidence: your pet is in VERY good hands with Shelly!
