Doggy Day Care • Sep 01, 2025

Shay is very patient and loving to my Skye. I am new to this dog world and she has made things a little bit easier and peaceful knowing my Skye is being taken care of like I would. I highly recommend.

Ms. Washington took absolute wonderful care of Zion and was very communicative. He was in good spirits when I picked him up. I know who I’m booking the next time I need help. Highly recommended.

Shalayah, Wow!! From introductions to drop off to pick and communication along the way, Shalayah is a great dog care provider. She was engaging and attentive, and kind to myself and our dogs. We give her a 10 for being the best!

Dog Walking • Jul 25, 2025

Shalayah was prompt, super professional, and a sweetheart! She asked what Blue's favorite treats were and came with them in hand for his walk. Blue loves and listens to her well so far. I will be booking again in the near future. Thanks Shalayah!

Schedule

Pet care is already a huge part of my daily life! I have a playful pup of my own, so I’m always on a consistent routine with walks, meals, outdoor play, and cuddle time. Because I work flexibly from home, I’m able to give pets the attention, structure, and love they need throughout the day—whether it’s for boarding, daycare, or drop-ins. I plan my schedule around making pets feel safe, seen, and cared for. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks or winding down with snuggles in the evening, your pet becomes part of the family during their time with me.

Safety, trust & environment

In My Home: When pets stay with me, I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where they can feel safe and at ease. I follow your pet’s usual routine closely—feeding schedules, walks, medication, crate time, and play are all customized to what they're used to. Pets get one-on-one attention, supervised outdoor time, and cozy rest areas. I treat them like part of the family while keeping you updated with regular photos and messages. In Your Home: When I’m caring for your pet in their own space, I make sure to maintain their daily rhythm so they feel comfortable and secure. I respect your home and any instructions you leave—whether that’s for feeding, exercise, medications, or house rules. I keep communication open so you always know how your pet is doing, and I leave your space just as I found it (or better!).

Pets

A typical day

Whether your pet loves high-energy play or slow snuggles, I match their vibe! For active pups, I offer plenty of playtime—walks around the neighborhood, fetch in the yard, tug-of-war, and enrichment games that keep their minds busy. For chill companions, I create a calm space with cuddles, brushing, and quiet bonding time. If your pet has a favorite toy or routine, I make sure it’s part of our day. I also love giving them mini photo shoots to send you cute updates! Every pet is different, so I aim to make their time with me fun, stress-free, and full of love.

Before caring for your pet, I like to know a few key things to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved: Daily routine: feeding times, potty breaks, walk schedules, and sleep habits Personality: are they shy, energetic, cuddly, or protective? Triggers or fears: such as loud noises, other dogs, or separation anxiety Medical needs: medications, allergies, or health conditions Training/cues: any commands they respond to or habits you're reinforcing Social behavior: how they do with new people, kids, or other animals The more I know upfront, the better I can care for them like they’re my own!
