Shalyn was very helpful to watch Asier on a more last minute request. He did really well in their home and with scout. She was quick to respond and provide updates!

Shalyn was great! My dog was well taken care of and communication was easy. I’d love to book with her again.

We are always happy to take Squeeky to stay with Shaylin. They have a big yeard with lots of places to explore. They all treat Squeeky with love and care.

Thank you, Shalyn, for taking such great care of Tucker while we were away. It is such a blessing knowing he is being treated like a member of your family.

Schedule

I am currently a part-time artist who works from home and also a mom to 2 teens. This leaves me plenty of time for your pup to be the center of attention (along with our dog). Our family loves dogs and your pet will be like part of our family!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run. Our dog Scout will keep your dog company and provide lots of play time. We can also take walks in our quiet neighborhood. I can easily crate your dog if needed while we are away or at night. Otherwise, you can send their own bed to be used around the house. Notes about our home: we have a two story house with all bedrooms upstairs. We usually have the dogs sleep in our bedroom, but we can set up an area downstairs if going up and down is difficult for your pet. Our back and front porches also have 4-5 steps into the yard.

Pets

A typical day

Since I am home all day, we will have plenty of time to play outside. Our dog Scout loves to play chase! There are plenty of indoor toys and comfortable beds for those rainy days too.

We require a meet-and-greet prior to any booking to ensure your dog gets along with ours. Let me know if your dog has any special needs, like medications. I am a former vet tech, so I can administer pretty much anything needed. Also, we have deer that pass through our neighborhood regularly, so please let us know if they are reactive (barking, chasing, etc). The yard is fenced, but we will be extra alert before letting them outside.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
