Safety, trust & environment

I understand the importance of reliability and communication, and I make your pet my priority. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I take pride in providing a loving, safe, and dependable presence while their families are away.

Information Shelly R. would like to know about your pet

I want to know what makes your pet happy! I want to know exactly how you feed them and exercise them. I want to know what rules you want me to follow. The least amount of change in routine is best and I will stick to the schedule! All while loving and respecting your pet in your absence.

A typical day

I am flexible to accommodate your pet as you see fit! I am active and love to walk - and if your dog does too - great! I can also be less energetic and go at the pace of a senior pet. Each animal is different and I will follow your requests and advice.

Pet care experience

I love all animals! I am attentive and genuinely care. I understand that pets are family members, and I treat them with the same love, patience, and respect that I would give my own. I take the time to learn each pet's unique personality, routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I am dependable, attentive to detail, and committed to maintaining a pet's normal routine to reduce stress and provide consistency, to ensure both pets and their owners have peace of mind.

Shelly Is responsible, dependable and loves dogs and more importantly your dog will love her. She just stayed with my dog, Maggie, for two weeks and I was able to enjoy my travels completely knowing Shelly was there taking care of her. She took Maggie on many daily walks, met many of my neighbors while doing so, and paid her lots of attention. She will keep you in the loop as much as you want and your pet will have a new best friend. Shelly is very clean and I came home to the cleanest my house has ever been.

I’m so grateful to have found Shelly! Our fur baby, Daphne, is our little princess and leaving her with someone is a huge deal for us! Shelly’s compassion and love for animals is so evident which made us feel so at ease! She is very professional, friendly, very tidy (our house looked great when we got home) I totally trust her with our baby❣️

I have three Chinese crested rescues. Each are quirky and have their own individual needs. Shelly gives them each what they need and tons of love and attention. They love her so much and listen to her too. Shelly is my dog whisperer. I’ve been looking for someone like her for years and I’m so happy to have found her. She’s the only one that I trust with my babies.
