About shalese j.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My care is built on a foundation of respect, precision, and professional communication. I treat your home with the same care as my own, ensuring it is left secure, clean, and exactly as I found it. Your pet's safety is my highest priority—from double-checking locks and using secure leashes (harnesses are welcome) to administering medications on a precise schedule. To ensure I can give your pet my full attention, I maintain a structured update schedule. You will receive a detailed update with at least one photo daily via the Rover app. For emergencies, I am always reachable through the app. This system allows me to focus completely on your pet's care while providing you with consistent, reliable peace of mind.
Information shalese j. would like to know about your pet
Please tell me everything—nothing is too specific or unusual. If your dog avoids stairs, is protective around food, needs the TV on for comfort, or has a quirky drinking preference, I want to know. I don't expect pets to be perfect; I expect them to be themselves. The more detailed information you provide, the more tailored and successful their care will be.
A typical day
A typical day is guided by your pet's own preferences—whether that's a rousing game of tug, a leisurely neighborhood sniffari, quiet sunbathing, or figuring out a puzzle feeder. I never force interaction; instead, I observe what activities they naturally enjoy and follow their lead. For pets open to it, I gently introduce simple, low-stress enrichment. My goal isn't just physical exercise, but to help your pet feel genuinely calm, engaged, and content in their own space.

Big/Anxious/Senior? I’ve Got It!
Pet care experience
I specialize in caring for senior dogs, high-energy pups, and those with behavioral quirks that require patience and understanding. Whether your dog needs long walks, gentle companionship, or medication administered with precision, I adjust my approach to fit their unique personality. I read canine body language well, making sure anxious or reactive dogs feel safe and supported. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable while giving owners complete peace of mind.

Reviews
Shalese took great care of our dog. 🐶


Our dog does not like everyone but he immediately bonded with Shalese. She is patient, responsible and best yet, loves my animals like they are family. We are happy to find her and happy to work with her again. Definitely recommend!

Shalese is incredible! Our dog Silas loves her ❤️

Shalese was a perfect sitter for our dog, Bobo. She sent us daily pictures to keep us updated and even took him to a dog costume party we mentioned to her at our local park! I would highly recommend Shalese if you’re looking for a sitter. Bobo loved her so much and looked like he had a great time.
