Availability
I currently travel full-time in my home on wheels with my kitty family, which gives me incredible flexibility. Because of this, I am happily available for long-term house sitting, as well as occasional drop-in visits and walks in the area I am. ( Currently in Oregon coastal areas ) I work remotely from my laptop on a flexible schedule, so I'm able to give your pets my full attention and keep them good company nearly the entire time while they nap(unless they prefer their own space!) Depending on what your pet enjoys, we can have a meaningful energy burn time in your yard, or explore neighbourhood messages 🐽 on a walk, play with toys and games at home, or simply lounge together with a nice massage (a favourite of my senior friends especially!). I also check on my own kitty family in our van home parked outside 3–4 times a day (about 15–30 minutes each time). Other than those brief check-ins, I keep to a consistent, reliable routine. And I am always happy to walk through what my schedule looks like before you book. 📍I am very open to traveling a bit further outside of Rover's standard radius for the right sit if requested far enough in advance! Depending on the length and needs of the booking, I don't mind journeying beyond my usual zone to come and support you and your pets. Please feel free to ask any questions. :)

Safety, trust & environment
I believe that stress is a silent killer not only for humans, but for animals too. And I would do my best to keep their environment as peaceful, low-stress as possible, so they can feel safe and truly rest when they need to, while they cannot be with their precious special person(s)🙏

Information Shalya G. would like to know about your pet
Everyone is unique! Please let me know your pet's individual needs and any behaviours I should account for, and any concern you may have. I'll do my best to keep them comfortable and well cared for, with lots of love and respect. :)
A typical day
First I make sure to learn your pet's regular routine and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and comforting to them, and incorporate fun into our time together to keep them comfortable, settled, and accompanied. Since I work remotely from my laptop on a flexible schedule, I am present and close by for the vast majority of the day. Usually right there while they nap, unless they prefer their own space! I believe we all do better with a bit of mental and physical stimulation—it's what makes for a happy, healthy life! We can play with toys and games indoors or out in your yard, explore the neighbourhood 🐽 together, and yes, have a good chat. :) Some pets are Very Chatty!😆 And of course, a nice massage is always on the menu—a favourite of my senior friends especially. I do step out 3 to 4 times a day for short periods (about 15 to 30 minutes each time) to take care of my kitty family in our van home parked outside. I maintain a consistent schedule for those check-ins so I am never gone long, and keep clear communication with your pets for everything. And the rest of my time is dedicated entirely to your animal family with my kitty partners' well-understanding approval & cooperation. 😼👍

Pet care experience
I've been surrounded by animals my whole life and can hardly imagine it any other way. I find caring for fellow animals while their beloved humans have to be away is humbling, and I'd be honoured to do my best to hold space for them through that off-duty pending time in their love mission, which could be an intense temporary separation some of them experience. In my younger years, I volunteered at a dog park daycare and have also worked alongside professional dog trainers and rescue groups to support and foster pets who came through abandonment or pass-arounds. My role was especially with those labeled with an "unadoptable" status due to unique behavioural challenges(such as biting and extreme shyness)who needed a bit more deeper understanding. Facilitating better communication and understanding between our fellow animals and people has always been a deeply rewarding privilege that I love with all my heart, truly🙏 Puppies, kittens, and sweet seniors all have my whole heart. Senior pets and some kitties sometimes have a harder time showing their needs, but I know they are always sending us signs, and they are often just expressing themselves in gentler ways, and they truly appreciate having someone nearby who listens in their more vulnerable years.

Reviews
Shayla responded immediately and was super helpful. She also kept updating me with photos which I loved to see while I was away. Happy she took care of my baby!
Beau had an awesome time with Shalya! Certainly appreciated her watching him and playing with him as he is highly excited and needs to release some of that energy by playing fetch! Would highly recommend her services. Thanks!
