Highlights
Pet care experience
Intuitive companion & safe space🐾
I first joined Rover just for a couple of months a few years back and cared for a couple of lovely pets before stepping off the platform as life got busy soon after. I am excited to rejoin to meet new furry friends and care for them. Animals have been my closest friends and family my whole life, and I can hardly imagine it any other way. Caring for fellow animals while their beloved humans are away is humbling, and I'd be honoured to do my best to hold space for them through the temporary separation they experience while their owners are away. I have worked alongside rescue groups and have been invited by professional dog trainers to use my animal communication gifts to help them understand difficult dogs. Over time, it naturally became my role to step in and care for those labelled "unadoptable" due to unique behavioural challenges who needed more special healing, deep understanding, and care. Facilitating better communication and understanding between animals and people has always been a deeply rewarding privilege that I humbly love with all my heart🙏 I have extensive experience caring for puppies, kittens, sweet seniors, and pets with special needs or aggression labels. I also have a gentle intuition for senior pets and kitties who express their needs in quieter, more subtle ways, as well as those who are extra sensitive.

Safety, trust & environment
I believe that "stress is a silent killer" is not just for humans, but for animals, too. I do my very best to keep their environment as peaceful and low-stress as possible so they can feel completely safe and genuinely rest (and hopefully have fun) when they are away from their precious human(s). 🙏 I am also more than happy to take and send as many photos and videos as the parents would like, so they can stay connected and have complete peace of mind while they're apart.
Ratings and 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!

Schedule
I currently travel full-time in my home on wheels with my kitty family, which gives me perfect flexibility. I am available for short and long-term house sitting, as well as occasional drop-in visits and walks in the area I am. ( Currently in coastal areas in Oregon ) 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!) I step out briefly to check on my own kitty family in our van home parked outside about 3-4 times a day (between 15-45 minutes each time). And I am always happy to walk through what my schedule looks like before you book. 📍I am open to traveling a bit further outside of Rover's standard radius for the right sit if requested far enough in advance🚐
