Hi! I’m Shahla, a lifelong animal lover, former track athlete, and now a full-time remote worker with a calm, peaceful home perfect for pets who need gentle, attentive care. I only book a small number of dogs at a time to make sure each one gets 1-on-1 attention, love, and stress-free playtime. Whether it’s tossing a ball in the yard, cozy snuggles on the couch, or slow walks for senior pups, I adjust my care to fit your dog’s exact needs. My home is: • Quiet, clean, and smoke-free • Has plenty of soft spaces to nap and relax • Great for anxious dogs or pets who need calm consistency I work from home full-time, so your pup will never be left alone for long. I send regular photo/video updates and treat every animal like family. I can also give medications if needed. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new. My goal is to give you total peace of mind, with kind, responsive communication and a home your dog will want to come back to. Let me know your pet’s routine, and I’ll do my best to match it exactly 🐶💛

Shahla is great! Gussie loved his one night stay with her. Shahla is kind, has great people skills and loves animals. I highly recommend her and will definitely utilize her again in the future. Gussie and I are happy to know her!

Shahla was great. She was very experienced with taking care of senior dogs and out 14 year old English Bulldog was no exception. It’s always tough leaving a pet but Shahla made this so much easier. She was excellent with communication as well. Highly recommend.

Schedule

I work from home full-time in a calm, peaceful environment, which allows me to offer highly personalized, round-the-clock care. My daily rhythm is structured and attentive, with time built in for walks, rest, enrichment, and individualized care. Your pet’s comfort and routine are fully integrated into my day.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is quiet, immaculately clean, and ideal for dogs who do best with low stimulation, individualized care, and a calm routine. I provide a serene, boutique-style boarding experience, not a chaotic or crowded environment. I accept a very limited number of pets at a time to ensure that each guest receives exclusive attention and care. For health and safety, I require all pets to be fully up-to-date on core vaccinations (including Bordetella) and actively maintained on flea, tick, and parasite prevention. I ask that your dog is accustomed to relaxing independently in a crate or quiet sleeping area, so they can rest peacefully and safely during their stay. You’ll receive timely, thoughtful updates and photos throughout your pet’s visit, and I always mirror your pet’s home routine as closely as possible, from feeding to supplements to emotional comfort.

Pets

A typical day

Your dog’s day will be structured, enriching, and relaxing. Mornings begin with a calm walk or movement-based play, followed by a nourishing breakfast and time to unwind. The rest of the day includes gentle engagement (such as enrichment games, soft music, brushing, or cuddles), quiet rest time, and a final evening walk before bed. My approach is tailored to each dog. Whether your pet thrives with active engagement or prefers a slower, more nurturing pace, I adjust my care accordingly. Clean linens, filtered water, and a peaceful atmosphere come standard.

Crate-trained dogs only
Shahla can host up to 3 pets per night
To ensure your pet’s visit is seamless, I ask for the following ahead of time: • Vaccination status (including Bordetella and parasite prevention — required) • Feeding routine, including supplements or medications • Current sleep setup (crate required) • Social preferences — whether your dog prefers solo time or is dog-friendly • Any training cues or behaviors you’d like me to reinforce **please note: a crate is required, as I have a toddler and when watching more than 1 dog for feeding separation, as well as for when I leave the house for the gym or errands- for their own safety and anxiety I do not leave them unattended: even the most well trained dogs will exhibit anxiety in new environments and poo/pee throughout the home.
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.
