About Shell
Experience: 9 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I'd describe my personality as sweet, big hearted, and easy going. I started working with animals when I was a dog training instructor at a popular chain pet store back in 2007. I also worked in the specialty department with birds, fish, reptiles, guinea pigs, hamsters, and chinchillas. I grew up with dogs, had my own dog, and now have a sweet 19-year-old cat. The best and most rewarding job I ever had has been working with animals and having amazing clients. My prices can vary according to what is needed. For pet visits/dog walks during the day, I go by 15 min ($20), 30 min ($25), and 1 hr ($35) I also do overnights ($70 for one to two animals. Additional animals $5 each, depending.) Pet visits and overnights include any plant watering, mail, bringing in packages, litter scooping, feeding, and taking out or bringing in bins. References and more information about me available upon request.

Shell has been our trusted cat sitter for over 5 years, and we truly can’t recommend her enough. She is incredibly dependable, responsive, and kind. We completely trust her with our home while we’re out of town, and it’s such a relief to know everything is in good hands. Our cat has formed a wonderful bond with Shell, which speaks volumes about the level of care and attention she provides. Beyond caring for our pet, Shell also goes above and beyond by helping with household tasks like taking out the garbage and watering plants—she’s truly amazing! If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and professional to look after your pet and home, Shell is the one. We feel very lucky to have found her!
