Pet care experience

I am a Registered Nurse, who should have been a Vet, because I actually like animals better than people....But I like people too! I have always had dogs and cats and wouldn't know what to do without them. I have had Irish Wolfhounds in the past and now have a small dog, so am comfortable with large and small breeds. I have cared for many senior pets, of my own. Being an RN, I am very comfortable giving medications to your pet (including injections) and caring for pets with special needs. One of my dogs was blind and had seizures. I gave him, his medications regularly and have also given antibiotics, ear, and eye drops. I will do whatever needs to be done. I will take your dog on walks, to the dog park, whatever they like to do. Just let me know. I will treat your Fur Baby, as if they were my own. You can count on that!

Shelly watched our 8 month old French Bulldog for a week and she was amazing! She was very responsive and gave us daily updates and pictures. She definitely loves animals and it shows. Our puppy was so happy and healthy when we got home. She also checked our mail and left our house in excellent condition. She went out of her way to make sure we enjoyed our vacation and had no worries about our dog or home while we were away. Shelly is extremely kind and easy to get along with. I highly recommend her and will use her again for our next vacation.

Shelly was great with my sweet girl. There were a couple days I had to work while she was very sick and Shelly gave her lots of extra love. I really lucked out finding her. I can't thank her enough ❤️

Shelly was really great! First time leaving our babies for a multi-day trip, we were a bit nervous to leave them behind. Shelly did an amazing job taking care of our puppies. Updates, both texts and photos, came through out the day. She eased our worries so that we could enjoy our trip. We will be using Shelly again and again!

Shelly is absolutely amazing with animals and is just the sweetest person all around. She has watched our precious Lacey for an hour each day while I am at work for four days and we are going to continue to book her each week as needed. I trust Shelly in our home and with our pups. She is responsive, reliable and extremely kind. Thank you, Shelly, for all that you do to make our lives easier!!!! :)

Information Shelly H. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences. I love all dogs. I would need to know things like: Is your dog crate trained, do they normally sleep with you, how often do they usually go outside to go potty, does your dog take any medications or have any special needs. What vet do you use, telephone number and address. Anything at all that your dog really enjoys, like special scratching places, etc. Would you like for me to bathe your dog while you're gone? Just anything that will make you and your dog happy!!!!

A typical day

Well, first of all, I will be coming to your place to take care of your dog. I feel that a dog is most comfortable in their own environment, plus I have four cats, which could create a crazy situation. You can tell me where you usually take your dog for walks, the dog park, what your fur baby enjoys, and that is what we'll do. I can also, bring in your mail, newspaper, turn lights on at night, etc. Just let me know what needs to be done and it will be done. Your wish is my command!!
