Highlights
Pet care experience
COVID safe homeschoolers
I have volunteered in the past with a rescue shelter and I loved walking and playing with the dogs. Since we are a virtual school family, my schedule is pretty open and flexible so your pet will get lots of attention and cuddles. I have cared for cats and fish most of my life. I am comfortable with grooming, providing special diets, giving oral medication and inhalers. If boarding, your dog must be gentle and friendly with kids and cats. I have a 4th grader and we recently adopted a kitten. They must be comfortable in an apartment setting with a busy hallway where barking is frowned upon. Cuties who like to be guard dogs might not enjoy staying here if frequent noise is activating.

Take such good care of my pup!
So great with my dog! Caring and communicative, My girl was very happy!
Millie had an exceptional time at Shasta’s over Thanksgiving. Our family is so thankful that our pup was in such good hands and well loved while we were out of town. Millie got to run and play and have cuddles with Shasta and her daughter. Millie will definitely be visiting again one day!
Shasta is the best pet sitter ever. With all the updates and cute photos she sent, I felt like I was in the room with her and my cat having fun. She's so communicative, respectful, and wonderful with my cat. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Shasta took such amazing care of our dog, sending updates and pictures each day. We will absolutely use Shasta again and encourage anybody to consider her for your pet needs!
Shasta is a wonderful pet sitter! We are so happy to have found her! She is very warm and friendly and took excellent care of our dog Ruby. Shasta was great at communicating with us, we got updates and photos every day. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing Ruby was well cared for. We would definitely recommend Shasta and will rebook with her again.

Schedule
We are usually home most days due to virtual schooling, but occasionally have short outings and field trips. We continue to use pretty strict Covid precautions, like always wearing high-quality masks and running hepa air purifiers. I ask that my clients are respectful of this. I am very flexible and encourage last minute cancellations if any symptoms of illness pop up. Likewise, if we have symptoms or test positive for Covid/flu I will cancel the booking. Luckily, I have only had to do this two times in so many years and will always issue a full refund.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We live in a very pet friendly area and are close to great dog parks. Our neighborhood is full of green spaces and sidewalks and the Rock Creek Park trail is directly behind our apartment. We will care for your dog like it is our own. I love taking photos and will send as many as you’d like and will provide updates and check-ins as often as preferred.
Pets
A typical day
We will get in lots of belly rubs and snuggles, go on a few nice walks around the neighborhood between lessons, or visit the dog park after we are finished with school.
