Life Long Passion For Animals

Pet care experience

I have loved animals since I was a kid. Since then, I have worked with various kinds of animals (including dogs) by volunteering with various animal rescues. For the past four years I have worked in doggy day cares where I worked with up to forty dogs each day. Through working these jobs I have learned many things about dogs behavior, communication and health. I have worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments and ages. I have worked especially hard with dogs who are nervous/shy/anxious making sure they are comfortable and well cared for. This job taught me a tremendous amount of patience and I use positive reinforcement when I work with animals. I have also learned how to administer meds (pills and intravenous). I am available most days of the week, most hours of the day. I eventually want to become a dog trainer and being able to hangout with dogs all day has always been a dream of mine. I also love to take care of/watch other animals/pets. I will watch your cat (or whatever other type of pet you have), but I will charge for this. I will ask about this before setting up a meet and greet.

Shai brings a level of care and sensitivity to their interactions with animals that should put any pet owner at ease. I’ve seen them multitask in a group setting as well, managing behavioral issues like aggression in addition to providing special care to dogs with advanced age. While diminutive in stature, Shai is stronger than they look and will not be pushed around even by the biggest and rowdiest of pets. They lead with warmth and gentleness but are capable of firm discipline when needed. Shai’s attentiveness to animal behavioral patterns facilitates quick bonding and trust. No matter your pet’s specific needs, Shai would be a capable, competent, attentive, safe, trustworthy, and loving caretaker.

Shai has years of professional experience with animals and has extensive knowledge of animal behavior. They are very in tune emotionally and energetically with animals, an instant animal magnet. From large dogs to small, to cats, they can do it all! They are my go to when I need my fur babies taken care of.

I have worked with Shai and they are the best! A true pet lover and all around good person. I trust Shai with my own pets and can be at ease on vacation knowing they are safe!

I have known Shai for a little under a decade now and they are super knowledgeable about animals, constantly reading about them and learning how to better take care of them. With a real passion for dogs in particular, it seems to be what Shai was made to do, and a really fruitful area for them to apply their many other talents. I have grown up with many dogs myself (up to 6 at one time), and I have never met anyone I would trust more with my own dogs than Shai.
