About: Taken care of cats, dogs, and lizards since I was old enough to drive. I love learning about each animals unique needs and their silly personalities. Flexible schedule as I work on my art portfolio. Other than volunteering and appointments, I've got plenty of time for walks or check ins on your furry friends I am unable to bring your furry friends to my place, but when coming over any house rules you've got I'll make sure to follow!


About: A lifelong animal lover, I enjoy romping through the woods with dogs, as well as sharing their company by a burning fire. I'm a freelance writer working from my home, so your hound has a constant companion in my care. The walks help me think while letting the dog burn off some energy. I'm also willing to travel to let your best friend out on a day-to-day basis, or overnights as necessary. Your cat, should he or she stay overnight, would receive lots of attention from two teenagers and a first-grader (even if the cat is indifferent to it). Our dogs have always been part of our family, and we'll treat your pet like one of our own. We look forward to meeting you and yours.

About: Ever since being a young little girl, I have cared for dogs and they have a special place in my heart. I grew up with a yellow lab and took great care of her. As an adult I am the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends. I have watched small family farm taking care of goats, horses, dogs, and outdoor cats too. I have more experience with mid to older dogs than puppies, but I have also helped take care of puppies too. I am currently searching for a full-time position; therefore, I have flexibility for during the day for potty breaks or walks, evening care, and overnight stay at your house. I am unfortunately renting currently and have a no pet policy so I cannot board at this time. Your pet is to be treated like my own. I follow the owners lead but I love playtime, indoor or outdoor, walks by leash and harness, and cuddles and loves. I only give treats if that is what the household wants. I wish to keep the routine as similar to what the animal is used to.

About: As a seasoned Chihuahua mom and experienced dog fosterer, I have cared for over 30+ Chihuahuas (four being my own) and have been passionate about their well-being since I adopted my first Chihuahua at 19. I have a deep understanding of their unique personalities and needs, and I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional care for your furry friends. Is your pet anxious? Do they need their food bowl held while they eat? Do they prefer it heated up with a lil sprinkle of parmesan? I know a thing or two because I've seen a thing or two. My work schedule is flexible, so I'm around more than I'm not. If you choose to board while I am working, your pet will be safely secure in your chosen method (crate, play yard, bathroom etc). All come with access to food, water and a potty pad as well as any lovies or toys. Vacationers have the option to mingle with the locals or stay in their own gated suite. Meals are based on each pup's personal preferences. Hand fed, heated up, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese are just some of the perks that come with staying at Aunt Shelli's AirBnB

Rain D.
“Rain has been an incredible help with my kitty Yoko! As a first time pet parent, I got overwhelmed with all the energy this cat had. Rain would often come over and spend hours playing with Yoko and keeping her company while myself and her owner were out of town, or whenever I needed a break to focus on work and school. Rain is super helpful, careful, and detail oriented, they work hard and do a great job with any animal!”




William M.
“Bill has always had a dog as a part of his family since I have known him. His dog provides him with inspiration either sitting with him by the fire as he does his freelance writing or accompanying him on his jogs. His current dog Monte is a rescue dog who loves people and is a real cuddler.”


Stephanie L.
“Stephanie is an amazing human! She takes great care of my sweet girl Tika, takes her on walks and lets her outside to go potty! She always leaves my house put together/doesn’t make a mess, and provides great loving care to my girl! She is trustworthy, as I have known her for years and she is always loyal and truthful to her word so I know I can count on her! Not to even mention that my dog loves her as well, always so excited to see her and excited for lots of pets from Steph!”


Michelle G.
“Michelle watched my two chihuahuas, one of which is geriatric and requires medication. Cindy, my old girl, isn’t as nice as she was when she was younger and Michelle didn’t think twice about taking her. Michelle did fantastic job and sent me pictures of them both the entire time. I felt very nervous leaving my dogs with a “stranger” but I was put at ease by Michelle and will absolutely leave my dogs with her again.”
