Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Dayton's Bluff

About: I am an inclusive, outdoorsy, and compassionate pet and house sitter with almost two decades of experience. I care about your pets and house as if it were my own! I have cared for creatures big and small, and maintain the most similar household routine as possible for your pet. My first job was in a veterinary clinic, so I am comfortable with administering medicines and taking care of animals with special needs. I am a full-time high school counselor. I am proud of my work/life boundaries, so I keep my schedule at school tight. I am out of the house from 7:30-4:30 on the weekdays. With my pet sitting experience, I am used to working in a pet’s routine with my schedule. If you are looking to book me in the summer, however, I have nothing but time! :) I rent, so am unable to board your pets in my home. I have, however, extensive experience staying in the homes of the critters I care for. I am a respectful and tidy guest, and always try to leave the home better than I found it.

About: Growing up in a house of animals, and having a small zoo of my own (2 dogs and 2 cats), I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have dog and cat sat for friends for years. I am currently available for Drop ins and Walks. I try to spend a bare minimum of 15 minutes with any drop in to make sure they get all the attention that they need. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I understand that all Walks aren't created equal. My Walks always vary based off of the needs of the dog. I am also an avid cat lover. I am more than happy to stop by and feed, clean the litter box, and snuggle/play with your feline friends. Currently I work full time on the West side of the cities, but I have Sundays and Mondays off to help with your animal needs. My hope is to expand my availability over time. My current weekend lines up with some weekdays. I spend most of those days out and about, so I'd love to check in on some cute animal while I am at it! Slow and steady is always best. I am a believer in letting animals come to you. I have experience with a kennel trained and unkennel trained dogs. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I am experienced in walking all sizes of dogs.

About: I grew up with all kinds of dogs on a ranch growing up. I raised them from puppies all the way to their senior years. Every life stage has its experiences. I can provide medication, other special needs care, and special food with proper instructions as every dog is different. I will make sure to spend time with every dog with play time, attention which could be petting or just sitting with them. Their happiness matters the most if their family isn't home! I can help train basic things with puppies like at meal times I've been good with making sure they don't come crashing into the food before I have time to set it down. Or in general with simple people interactions. Nothing complex. Every dog is important! I currently have a flexible schedule as I'm currently in between jobs. This allows me to give every pet the proper attention and care they need with no time constraints. I will be respectful to the home I enter and all the pets inside the home. I will make sure the house is left perfect as I found it. I will make sure the pets are happier then I found them! My motto is "treat the home like how I'd want mine treated for both pets and the house."

“Shayla is the best! She took wonderful care of my cat, Goose. She provided detailed reports each day that included several pictures of Goose. These reports and pictures were fun to read and gave me peace of mind while being away. Goose absolutely loved Shayla and even allowed her to brush her - something she barely lets me do! We will definitely be booking with Shayla again.”

I’ve also cared for pets with special needs, including neurological conditions and diabetes, so I understand the patience, attention, and compassion they require. I truly love animals and treat every pet like family. I would love the opportunity to meet and care for yours!
