Pet care experience

Dog walkin’/cat pettin’.

I’ve admittedly only had cats - yes, plural - since moving to California 15 years ago. But my dang landlord won’t allow dogs, so I’ve settled. Luckily - or not - I was raised in rural Ohio and constantly surrounded by pooches - a gang of Labrador Retrievers and a lone Saint Bernard. These lovelies taught me loyalty, responsibility, and patience. ...Which I will bring to your home. I also managed a local coffee shop for (nearly) all 15 years in the Bay Area and recognize the value of accountability and organization. I look forward to meeting you and yours.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m currently unable to board in my home because my kitties would be mighty upset. I’ll treat your home as my very own and leave the space as I found it.

I’m so grateful to Shelly for her excellent care of my cat, Atticus. I had a family emergency come up and needed someone last minute. I put out feelers pretty late at night knowing I’d be leaving in a few hours hoping but not confident I would get someone on such short notice. Shelly responded right away and I felt confident my kitty was in good hands. Thanks Shelly!!

Shelly is so good with our big dog with a big personality. I swear our big girl is an angel when hanging out with Shelly! Communication is always prompt and responsive.

I’m really impressed by Shelly’s attention to detail. Judging by the photos of my cat’s belly rolls and also by her attitude upon my return, she really enjoys Shelly’s company, too!
