Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets as if they were my own, always with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. In my home, that means creating a safe, cozy, and fun environment where your pet can relax and feel secure. In your home, I would follow your routines closely, making sure mealtimes, walks, play, and cuddles happen just the way your pet is used to. I’m attentive to details, whether it’s sticking to training cues, keeping food/water bowls fresh, or noticing subtle changes in behavior. My goal is to ensure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for, and that you feel total peace of mind while you’re away.

Information Shaghayegh R. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog love playing with other dogs? Do they have any special needs? Are they allowed to be petted by strangers on our walk?

A typical day

Caspian and I start the day with a run and walk combo; we then have breakfast and some wind-down activities. I offer potty breaks every 2-3 hours, but he has a lot of independent time from 9-5 as I work. I usually fill this time with toys, puzzles, and light training. We will then have our evening walk for an hour, and dinner and wind-down again.

My dog and I love going on walks and runs together; he's very high energy, and he loves other animals! We'd love to take your fur baby with us!

Shae and Caspian could not be more lovely. Extremely grateful and excited to have someone who cares so much spending time with my favorite guy.

Shae was absolutely wonderful. She took care of my dogs as if they were her own and was genuinely concerned about their well-being. Throughout my trip, she consistently kept me updated, always texting, sending photos and videos, and making sure I knew how everything was going. That kind of communication and reliability is rare and so valuable. She was also incredibly patient with Max, who isn’t very comfortable around people. I really hope we can make this a long-term arrangement. I highly recommend Shae!
