I specialize in older pet care.
Pet care experience
I've had pets for 30 years. I pet sit for friends and neighbors. Cared for senior pets. Proficient at medications and special diets. My current two cats are older cats adoptions. One was a rescue from a home that had more than 100 cats. This experience left him with some residual fears and behaviors. Having older cats has meant having experience in both administering medications and preparing specialized diets. I volunteered at an animal rescue facility where I became familiar with walking dogs and watching the progress they made to get adopted. I am willing to care for well-behaved dogs.
Reviews
I would 100% recommend Shelly to care for your pet(s). She medicated my sick cat, and handled everything with grace.
Awesome!
Shelly is our go-to person for looking after our two kitties!
Shelly was great as always! Kept me updated with pictures and she let me know when the heating system was off & fixed it!
About Shelly S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
During my visits to your home: I would spend time with your pet, provide food, water, and medication (if needed), clean litter boxes and/or provide a walk outside. I am willing to provide other, agreed upon, special care. I will send you pictures of your pet, so you can see that your pets are doing well.
Information Shelly S. would like to know about your pet
Prior to caring for your dog. I would need to know his temperament. Does he like to run at the park or is he a lap dog? Does he do well with other animals? What medical conditions does he have. Is there anything that your dogs dislikes? Does he respond to any commands?
A typical day
I would love walk and play fetch with your dog. If there is a park near your home we could visit and expend some energy.

Availability
I am retired from working in the Human Services field for over 30 years. My schedule is open so providing care during the day or multiple visits in one day are possible. I remember the feeling of having to go to work when my pets did not feel well, so to be able to provide some relief to someone by being there and checking on their well loved pets would be rewarding. I have used pet sitters in the past when I had gone on vacations instead of boarding them due to one cats’ car riding anxiety. I understand that even good pet parents need a break, or that sometimes things happen that disrupt a pet’s routine.
