Attentive and caring pet sitter!
Pet care experience
I have been the trusted pet sitter for my friends, family, and co-workers for many years. I have always grown up with dogs and cats and I’m very comfortable with them! I am passionate about my pets and I’ll be passionate about taking care of yours.
Reviews
Gus was so happy after his walk with Shelsie! I definitely will be scheduling more walks with her.
Shelsie is an extremely responsible and caring dog owner. When I went on vacation I did not hesitate to ask her to watch my dog. She went above and beyond caring for my dog and kept me updated the entire time I was away. She has so much love and respect for all animals. I would highly recommend her as a pet caregiver.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in my home and outside my home just like I would if they were my personal pets. They will be treated with love at all times, whether that’s for a 30 minute walk or a drop-in. I will make sure they are having the best time! I also have two dogs of my own that love to play and will keep your dog company.
Home
Information Shelsie C. would like to know about your pet
I have two Australian shepherds myself, so I am no stranger to high energy dogs. If your dog does need more or less playtime, please let me know! I can adjust to what they’re comfortable with. If your dog does not play well with others or does not do well on leash, please also let me know. I have some strategies I can implement.
A typical day
To tire a dog out physically, I like to take them on walks around my neighborhood and around theirs. I let them sniff and sniff till their heart’s content. I also like to take the high-energy dogs over to an old fenced in softball field and have them run after a ball. What’s nice about the field is it gives them plenty of space to stretch their legs without me worrying they’ll wander off. To tire out dogs mentally, I like to play puzzles and games! I have a wide variety of puzzles at my home and like to play “find the treat” around the house. Also, if allowed, I like to give dogs lick mats that contain peanut butter, yogurt, or pumpkin! They go crazy for it! Then once we’re all settled down for the day, I will provide cuddles, but only if they want to.

I work from home a few times a week, so I have flexibility to attend to your pets. I am also done working at 4:30 leaving me with the rest of the evening to take care of and play with your babies!
