Pet care experience

Animal lover looking to stay busy!

I’ve taking care of pets my entire life. We have always owned at least one dog at any given moment. I’ve owned multiple dogs, cared for others pets for prolonged visits. We have owned birds, lizards, fish, ferrets, hamsters etc. I genuinely care for animals and enjoy taking care of them. We live by multiple parks that accommodate a variety of animal needs and tend to be less crowded. When they are with me, I will treat them like part of our family and one of my own. I will give them every comfort possible and keep on a schedule if you would like to ensure that your animal feels more stability and at home with us. As my rover business continues to grow, I am phasing out of my career to strictly provide pet services full time. As of now, I’m looking for occupy my free time in a productive manner doing good something I truly enjoy.

Safety, trust & environment

We unfortunately do not have a fully fenced in yard but I do have a 50 foot trolley cable in the yard for dogs to utilize. I love walking dogs whether in the neighborhood or at a city park. I am walking distance to 3+ neighborhood parks, trails, and a couple ponds that dogs may be off leash or swim as well if applicable. I have older children/young teens in the home that love to cuddle and spoil any sort of pets as well. Children were raised around animals and know to respect pets boundaries as well. No young children in the home. Our personal dog is a submissive female who loves all other pets, even the cranky ones. Due to her submissive behavior we have never had any issues with dominance among other animals of any sort. She loves to play but will also give space as required. My dog, Ruby has gotten quite accustomed to having other pets around and even tends to miss other dogs when they leave and looks forward to having “friends” to play with and keep her company.

Shelly was awesome! She was very friendly when we met prior to my dogs stay. He seemed like he had the best time. She was in contact at least once if not a couple times per day for updates. I would definitely recommend and we will definitely use her again in the future.

I believe Shelly did a wonderful job with Molly. From all the pictures and videos it looks like Molly had a great time with Shelly and Ruby. I will ask her to watch Molly again.

Lando had a great time with Shelly as always. We are so happy to have found someone he is excited to visit when we are traveling. She takes great care of our sweet boy.

Shelly was great as always. We have left our pup with her 3 times and he always loves going there and gets along well with her dog. Shelly takes him on walks and sends a lot of updates.

Schedule

My schedule is very flexible. As of now I am working a maximum of 15-20 hours a week, only in 5 hour shifts and by appointment only so on some occasions I do not even fulfill the full 15-20 hours. I have teenagers at home so on week days I do often have to taxi children for sports etc but pets often ride along with us if possible and if they enjoy a car ride. That schedule varies per day but I am never expected to be gone from the home for prolonged periods of time. Having a bigger family means that your animal will always get attention and love by multiple people!

I do not accept any type of aggressive dogs or Rottweiler/Rott mixes. My apologies, I was severely bite as a child and have a deep rooted fear.
