About Shelley
I am lucky enough to have the time to pursue the things in life that I really love doing. As an animal lover, this is working for Mad Paws and caring for your precious pets.
DOGS:
I could not live without a dog in my life! My daughter has a medium sized staffy cross who I regularly walk and often take to the local dog park where he can socialise with other dogs.

This may not suit all dogs or all owners. You decide what is best for your dog, and that is what we will do! I would never walk more than one medium sized dog or two smaller dogs (from the same home) at one time, as I need to be confident that I am completely in control of the situation, as far as possible, and that my full attention is focused on your dog.

Every dog is an individual with differing levels of training and with their own personality traits. For most dog lovers, dogs are loved family members, and I understand what a big step it is to trust them to someone else. Learning about all aspects of your dog, is very important to me to allow me to better care for them to ensure their safety (and mine!). Most dogs are very sociable and readily adapt to a new carer. Some are more reticent but usually come around given time and patience. These are things we would need to chat about before you entrust me with your dog.

I am fit and quite strong (as well as dog walking I go to the gym!), and I am very capable of managing the physical side of walking and exercising your dog.

CATS:
I also have a "senior" cat who only requires feeding and a small amount of stroking and fussing over. I have previously had cats who revel in as much affection as you can give them. Cats are as individual as we are and I am well acquainted with all their funny little ways. You will need to tell me all about your cats likes, dislikes and personality traits, so I can better care for and comfort them in your absence.

OTHER PETS:
In the past I have also had (for my children) budgies, love birds (noisy but such characters), the odd hamster or two and not to forget a variety of fish. So I have had experiences with a range of family pets (that the children promised fervently they would look after but ... well you know the rest!). I am sure I can quickly learn all about your special pets and how best to care for them.

ME:
I am responsible, outgoing and friendly person and look forward to meeting you and your special friend! I live in Balmoral, so I am fairly central to many suburbs. I am pretty flexible about location. I am available for dog walking, pet minding, caring and otherwise giving love to your pet in your home or outside. I am completely trustworthy and will be happy to discuss with you ways that you can feel safe and secure with me. You can rely me to be punctual and to carry out the tasks we have agreed on, and for which you are paying me, but most importantly, I will do so with genuine love and affection for your pet.

Reviews & Testimonials

Shelley walks our much loved (albeit a little overweight!) pooch regularly for us whilst we are away. I am continually impressed by the excellent service Shelley provides. She has exceeded our expectations from the get go by coming to meet our dog before we went away for the first time, through to keeping in touch with us through text messages (including photos of our very happy pooch on his walk). These simple & kind acts always reassure us that our treasured pet is receiving the very best of care. Furthermore, he absolutely loves her! Many thanks Shelley for your ongoing & excellent services! I recommend them to anyone as I know their dog will be in very good hands.
