Pet care experience

Active & Attentive Pet Lover

I’ve been around animals my whole life and I genuinely love caring for them. I grew up taking care of farm animals and mostly took care of chickens and stray cats in my area, so I’m very comfortable with different types of animals and personalities. I’ve also have pets of my own, including my cat Onion, who I’ve raised since birth, and a husky named Gunner that I adopted from a shelter. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family with their pets, whether that’s walking, feeding, or just spending time with them so they feel comfortable and not alone. I’m very patient and attentive, and I naturally adjust to each pet’s energy! My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Keeping your pet safe and comfortable are my top priorities. I will not be caring for pets in my home because I am in a dorm for school, but in a clients home I always follow care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs. I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and in a clean environment at all times. I’m very observant to behavior and mood changes and will communicate regularly.

The best sitter we have had! Shanyla stayed with our babies every waking and sleeping hour! We received many pictures and videos along with updates!

Shanyla was prompt and accommodating. She plowed the steps left for her and I really appreciated her spending time with Nilla! Will definitely book again!

Schedule

I am currently a student, Army ROTC cadet, and athlete at North Carolina Central University. I am usually up really early in the morning for physical training at around 5-7am. I would love to start your animals day off with a morning walk or play session! I have a few classes M-TH and can be available depending on the time. However, I’m free all day on Fridays plus weekends.

I would love to know your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, energy level, and personality so I can provide the best care possible. It’s also helpful to be aware of any medical needs, allergies, triggers, or behaviors to watch for. I’m a very organized person, so I’d really appreciate having a written list of instructions I can refer to as needed to make sure your pet’s care stays consistent and stress-free.
