Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their own home, so they have less stress in terms of changing environments when loved ones are gone. I also ensure your home is well cared for and secure while away. I treat it as my own.

Information Shardai M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about any medical history, emergency contacts, vet numbers, and how you want me to deal with any issues that arise. And of course, I pets will be less stressed the more their routine is adhered to- so set clear expectations from the get go.

A typical day

I love to be adventurous and playful. Attuning to the quirks and personality that makes your pet special! I love when pet owners leave me with their favorite games and acquaint me to their normal routine. I love to be out exploring nature or at home snuggled up.

Trusted long-term sitter & nurse🫶

Pet care experience

🌿 Global Long-Term Pet Sitter & Nurse 🐾 Specializing in 1wk+ sits plus drop-ins. As a registered nurse and lifelong animal lover, I bring calm, reliable care to every sit—along with the ability to confidently handle medical needs should they arise. I’ve helped my sister foster cats and dogs from the local shelter, many requiring meds and extra attention, so I’m very comfortable supporting pets with special needs. While Hawaii is home, I’ve also cared for animals all over the world: donkeys in Ireland, chickens in Hawaii, energetic dogs in Spain, and cats in Morocco. Growing up on farmland surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, and turtles taught me early on that every creature deserves love and respect. I specialize in longer-term sits (2 weeks to several months), offering consistency, companionship, and peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets will be loved up and experience less transitional stress, and your home cared for as if it were my own. I’m also available for drop-ins. 🌍🌹🐾

Shardai took fantastic care of my furry friend and home. She followed my instructions to a tee and was capable of dealing with matters we had not discussed to my satisfaction. She would be welcomed back anytime.

Shardai was amazing and took care of our little darlings like they were her own. Our home was very clean when we returned.

Great for house/ pet sitting. Used her while I was 3000 miles and an ocean away for over 10 days. Used her for Christmas drop in to feed. Check in on the cats when I took dogs an hour away for two nights over Christmas. Swell communication. The animals love her! So do I!
