Pet care experience

Your Pet’s Happiness, My Priority

I’ve been around animals literally my entire life. My family has had pets since before I was born, so caring for them comes naturally to me. Due to that lifelong experience, I’m comfortable with all of pets, from energetic puppies to seniors who need extra patience and attention. New pets tend to warm up to me quickly, and I pride myself on creating a calm, loving environment where animals feel safe right away. My instincts, experience, and genuine love for animals help me provide care that feels personal and trustworthy.

Shailai was available on short notice after an unexpected cancellation. She did a good job looking after our Penny and maintaining communication throughout the booking. Recommended sitter.

Shailai has been a wonderful caretaker for my pets! I've had her care for my dog and cat before and she is attentive, patient, kind, and gentle with the animals. She has a true passion for bonding with them and will make sure your furry loved one is well cared for!

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment that matches their normal routine. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular bathroom breaks, and plenty of playtime or rest depending on their needs. I give each pet individual attention, follow any instructions or special requirements closely, and keep their space clean. Whether I’m in my home or the client’s home, I prioritize consistency, communication, and making sure every pet feels secure and cared for.
