About DeShayla B.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I care for cats by treating them like the tiny house royalty they are. In your home, I stick to their kingdom’s routine—serving meals right on schedule, keeping their water fresh, and maintaining a spotless litter throne. I match their purr-sonality: wild zoomie warriors get playtime adventures, while nap-loving loafs enjoy gentle chin scratches and cozy company. You’ll receive daily photo “meow-ssages,” and I always watch for changes in mood or behavior. I keep their space tidy so their realm stays peaceful. My mission: a stress-free stay that leaves your cat feeling safe, adored, and properly pampered.
Information DeShayla B. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know anything that helps your pet feel safe and comfortable. Please share any medical needs, routines, quirks, or behaviors I should be aware of—such as anxiety, shyness, reactivity, or special feeding instructions. I also like to know their favorite toys, treats, and activities, as well as anything that might stress them out. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can tailor my care to your pet’s needs.
A typical day
I love keeping pets active, happy, and mentally stimulated. For dogs, that means walks, outdoor sniff time, fetch, and plenty of play based on their energy level. For cats, I bring out toys, wand play, gentle brushing, window watching time, and enrichment activities to keep them engaged. I always tailor activities to each pet’s personality, age, and comfort level so they have fun in a way that feels natural and safe.

Reviews
Deshayla took amazing care of Sylvester. I was so happy to see how chatty he was and how patient she was amidst his separation anxiety. I loved receiving daily photos of him and am so grateful she wasnt bothered by any of his shenanigans.
Every time I book, she is communicative, quick to respond, and of course takes great care of my cat!! Ghost loves her!
Deshayla is so sweet, responsive & professional. Would highly recommend!
She was great with my cat and ensured his litter box, food, water, and lots of love were all taken care of! Ghost can’t wait to see her again!
