About: I'm a dependable, caring pet sitter who understands that every dog and cat has their own unique personality and routine. I grew up with dogs and have been a dog owner myself for the past 8 years, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I take the time to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a specific feeding schedule, I treat every pet with the same care and attention I'd give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing reliable, compassionate care and keeping you updated along the way. Around here, tail wags and happy purrs fit right into my daily routine! I genuinely love spending time with animals, so caring for pets never feels like a chore. Whether we're exploring the neighborhood on a walk, playing fetch, tossing around a favorite toy, or relaxing on the couch for some cuddle time, I'm happiest when I have furry company. I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you're away. I have a fully fenced yard, plus two sweet, friendly fur babies to keep them company if they enjoy having playmates! I'm happy to crate your pet if that's part of their normal routine or if you prefer. Every pet in my care is treated like family, with lots of love, attention, snuggles, and—if approved by you—a few well-earned treats!
“Shelby was a life saver and the best dog walker ever. I had to bring my dog to my parents house for an out of state trip for two weeks. My parents are +70 years old and can’t walk my husky dog. I met Shelby and she was the only person I needed to see. Prince loved her immediately so I knew he was in good hands. Shelby gave Prince daily walks for one hour. Took him on trips to dog parks and even gave him a bath on his last day since it was a rainy week. I highly recommend her for any service and if I’m ever back in town with Prince I’ll definitely see if she’s available.”
“Chloe provided more than just a walk and feeding. She made my pup feel loved and gave him some extra loving while I was away. I ended up getting home later than expected and she took initiative to go ahead and put my grocery delivery away which made coming home feel more at ease. Although it may seem like a small act of kindness, it’s the little things that make her the perfect fit for us!”

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
