Meet Shelby
Your Pet’s New Best Friend
Hi, I’m Shelby Arneson, owner and operator of Shelby the Pet Nanny, LLC. Caring for others has always been in my nature—from nearly 30 years as a social worker to a lifetime as an animal lover and volunteer at the Humane Society. What started as part-time pet sitting quickly grew into my full-time passion: providing professional, personalized care for pets of all kinds. Whether you have dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, goats, or even hamsters, I offer peace of mind knowing your pets are loved like family while you’re away.

Shelby was so attentive and thorough in her visits. I was super nervous to leave my animals for the first time, and I never will be again as long as she’s available. Would recommend again and again.

We have used Shelby multiple times and will continue to use her in the future! We have three dogs and a cat that she takes care of and we love getting the photos from her of our fur babies while we are away. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who needs a pet looked after!

My animals were well taken care of while I was on vacation and I have a lot of animals! My cockatoo even loved her which is a rarity. I enjoyed the pictures she sent every day and updates. I felt at ease knowing that I found another person who loves animals as much as I do!

We don’t know what we’d do without Shelby! She’s so patient with our anxious chocolate lab, Bailey. We would 100% recommend Shelby
