Shelley is the best! I recently reached out to her see if she was available to watch my cat, Oliver, for a weekend I'd be away. She promptly responded and set up a time to come over and meet him.
At the initial visit, I showed her where I kept his food, and discussed how often I fed him and what his favorite toys were. She was incredibly kind, and obviously very passionate about what she does. Oliver also took an immediate liking to her, which I took as a good sign.
While I was away, she texted me photos of Oliver and sent me short updates on how he was doing. I initially felt uneasy about leaving him alone for three days, but knowing he was in Shelley's care really gave me peace of mind.
I will 100% use her again next time I'm away, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, caring person to watch their pets!
