Pet care experience

Calm, caring, companion!

Aside from having many pets growing up, including farm animals, I have been a foster dog caretaker for seven years and counting, along with attending training from professionals with my own dog, Bo. It truly fills my heart to meet and help all critters that I cross paths with! Thank you for reading a little bit about me and if you have any questions about my services or care skills please don’t be afraid to ask. I completely empathize with the anxiety around others caring for our furry family members when we need help, and I am here to ease that worry as much as possible.

Shaelyn is amazing. My dog is “not great” with new people but she has gone out of her way to establish a great relationship with him. She has helped us learn how to support his behavior and he has been happier since meeting her. On the human end, it is a delight to have her stop in and I literally think I would be content to hire her just to visit me as she is a nice person to have drop in on a day. She is willing to engage my child who always looks forward to seeing her also. When in went away for a week it really made my time smooch better knowing I didn’t have to worry about the dog and cats at all because I had full faith she would take better care of than than I do. So kind and trustworthy- couldn’t recommend more as a pet-sitter or as a person!

Please be sure to let me know of need based care for any behaviors your pet may have. For example, I would like to know how they are on walks and what/if anything they are reactive to. Along with any severe allergies they may have/ injuries / sore points on the body. Any behaviors that need addressed are no problem at all, we can see if I am a good fit for your fur babe if they are sensitive to strangers. Again, I’m here for you and the critters so if there’s any ambiguity ~ just ask!
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.
