Safety, trust & environment
I live in an apartment so taking your pet is unfortunately not possible, but if I’m in your space and home I would treat it like my own. I am responsible when it comes to locking up, I don’t touch things that aren’t mine, and I am mindful of any requests that you’d have for me.
Ratings and reviews
Shailyn is such a great cat sitter and really made us feel at ease with leaving our kitty in her care. She is attentive, caring, and our cat was very well taken care of. Highly recommend Shailyn!
Shailyn is super patient and super skilled at reading pets! We are so grateful it has been Shailyn who has answered our requests to care for our loud, well-meaning and stubborn little guy in the wake of his sister’s passing. Shailyn is committed! ♥️😊
Shailyn watched my dog for a few nights, and I have nothing but good things to share! Shailyn is responsive in booking the service and scheduling a meet and greet. She shared plenty of pictures and updates throughout the weekend, and definitely made me feel more comfortable about being away from my pet!
Shailyn was amazing! She exceeded expectations in every way. From the get go she made it a priority to get to know me and my cat Pepper, ensuring that I felt safe leaving Pepper in her care. She was very accommodating and understanding. I would definitely recommend her to others.
Wonderful cat sitter! I have two very sweet adult cats -- one elderly (15+yo) with diabetes and "kitty" dementia that requires a medicine pill be crushed and mixed with enticing catt slurry and watched to ensure he eats it. Shailyn immediately understood the assignment and did exactly what was required and more without prompting. She cleaned up the old cat's outside-the-litter-box accident without pause and let me know exactly when she was arriving and leaving so I could remotely set house security. Everything was perfect when I arrived home -- and both cats seemed happy and not depressed like they sometimes have when I've been out for 48 hours and someone simply steps in to feed them. Shailyn spent quality "petting" time with them as well. With old and sick cats, you can't be too careful or you'll regret it. I'll definitely rebook Shailyn next time I'll be out of town. Thanks again, Shailyn!
Shailyn stayed at our home for 4 nights and took great care of the house and our beloved Lucky!! Neighbors said Lucky looked very happy on his walks while we were gone. Very thankful for her giving Lucky lots of love while we were gone!

Schedule
I’m a full time grad student but I often have morning availability and lots of breaks between classes in the afternoon and evening. I own a car so zipping to and from class to take care of a furry friend is no trouble at all.
