“Shelby watched my high energy 75 pound Shepherd/Husky mix, and she did great! She gave him a one hour walk each day for nine days and never had any issues. I could tell she is experienced around higher energy dogs. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a piece of mind while you’re on vacation. I will definitely be using her as a dog walker in the future. Thanks Shelby!”
About: My family has had dogs my whole life. A couple years ago, I started professionally dog sitting and I greatly enjoy it. I'm patient, I learn each dog's personality, and I make sure they have a safe fun time. I currently balance different self-scheduled gig work. Having no set or minimum hours, my time is highly flexible. I can schedule to fit your needs. I keep a careful eye on pet behavior and surroundings. For yards, I make sure fencing/gates are secure and keep an eye the dogs. For walking, I ensure leashes, collars are comfortable but very secure and tied to my arm as a back up. I keep a bottle of water. I can walk fast and keep pace but also encourage the dog to not wear themself out.
