Pet care experience

Shaelyn's Pet Care Services

I have raised dogs my entire life and showed goats in 4-H while in high school. I graduated from Washington State University, majoring in wildlife ecology with a minor in forestry. I have taken care of neighbors, friends, and family dogs and have over 15 years of experience. I'm responsible, punctual, and hardworking. I am an excellent communicator and always send pictures/updates about how things are going. I have watched dogs, cats, fish, turtles, horses, chickens, and guinea pigs. I am open to watching any animal and I have transportation. I will put your pet at the top of my priorities. I look forward to serving you in the future! Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment

I'm in an apartment, so I don't have a ton of space and no yard. This is why I'm not offering boarding at my place. I also have an emotional support rabbit living with me who doesn't like dogs. I follow the instructions given to me by the owners whenever I'm caring for other peoples' pets and contact them with any questions or concerns.

Shaelyn was an excellent house sitter for us. She's incredibly friendly and was sending us very regular updates and pictures of our pup while we were out of town. We've already booked her for our next trip!

Schedule

I can only watch dogs that can be alone for around 8-10 hours. I work full time at Gentle Dental as a dental assistant. I’m off weekends.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Shaelyn can host up to 1 drop-in per day
I mainly want to know the dogs or cats routine and if they are house trained. I also want to know if they can be left alone and for how long. I don't have any breed or age restrictions for dogs or cats since I'm not offering boarding services.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
