Shelby was amazing with my pup! Super reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. I got daily updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. My dog came home happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Shelby for any pet sitting needs!

About: I’ve owned and cared for pets of all kinds my entire life, as well as worked at a boarding facility for 4 years that took in dogs and cats (as well as the occasional rodent, pig or reptile) I’ll treat your pet of any kind like my own! i’m currently working part time from monday to friday and will have most availability on weekends, but i do have a a very flexible work schedule and can try to make it work! I prefer caring at a clients home due to the fact that i have cats of my own that are uncomfortable with unfamiliar pets. i’ll provide care to your specifications to ensure your pet is as comfortable and loved as possible!

Angie is so sweet and attentive to my dog! And when my dog had a minor health issue that needed attention during her stay, she was very communicative and eager to arrange veterinary care. Great experience!
