Shelby Hiser is, first and foremost, a compassionate animal lover—with a heart big enough for pets. A natural caregiver, advocate, and empath, Shelby has an uncanny ability to tune in to the emotional wavelengths of the animals. It’s this rare gift that led her to her most imaginative and fulfilling role yet: becoming the voice of the pets we love and a member of the Key Collaborative’s Pawperty Evaluation Team. No, she’s not an Animagus (though we wouldn’t be surprised)—she simply channels the soul of our four-legged companions to evaluate potential homes through their eyes.
In her latest venture, Shelby dons the whiskers and wagging tails of cats and dogs alike, writing thoughtful, humorous, and perceptive reviews of the property and living space from a pet’s point of view. She envisions their daily routines, anticipates their joys and anxieties, and assesses how well a home nurtures their physical and emotional well-being. Shelby doesn’t just understand animals—she becomes them, translating their silent hopes and loud opinions into words that help humans better understand what their beloved pets truly need.
Her boundless enthusiasm, creative wit, and deep empathy make Shelby not just a pet advocate—but a pet empath, and a trusted guide for anyone seeking to create a home that’s truly pet-approved.
