Highlights
Pet care experience
11 years of petsitting experience🐾
While pet sitting isn’t my full-time job anymore, I still have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies. I only work part-time shift in the mornings, and my husband overlapping Schedule, we can ensure your pets aren’t left alone for longer than 4–5 hours. If that’s still too long, we can always bring an extra help for a potty and play break halfway through. I have a house with a big yard, perfectly set up to cater to any animals needs. I also have tons of puzzles, snuffle mats, lick pads etc that I like to do with the dogs, to work their brains (and it’s also very entertaining for me!) so your dog will never be bored. I really enjoy what I do, and can’t think of a more fulfilling way to earn a living. I will only accept dogs and cats that I think will be a good match for us, to make sure that everyone has the best time possible! I have two small dogs and three cats. The dogs are a little grouchy in their old age and just want to sit on the couch and not be bothered by the young energetic dogs, but they won’t bite. The cats are timid at first, but once they get comfortable they will get down on the floor with the dogs and rub on them. Sometimes they even play with them! I set up drop off times to allow myself time to acclimate the dogs before I have to leave the house for any reason or have another drop off or pickup. Because of this, I add a $20 charge if you are 30 or more minutes late without sufficient notice (IE an hour or more before the drop off window closes) Puppy prices are applied to any unneutered or unspayed dogs. Thank you so much for your understanding and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies!

Ratings and reviews
Shay took such good care of the pups! Hubert actually came home tired so I think he finally got enough stimulation! She also provided lots of pictures and feedback on how they were doing for the whole stay, and gave my older girl the extra support when needed! Thank you so much again!
Shay went above and beyond as always! Our pup had such an amazing time and Shay was very attentive to her needs. Cannot recommend Shay enough!
She is so sweet, kind, and compassionate. I really appreciate her!
Shay is the most professional, and reliable, and just “above and beyond” dog sitter you could ever ask for! Our pup had a better time with her than she does with us at home! Shay is a great communicator and always kept in the loop even during our busy trip. Shay will definitely be our top choice when we need someone for dog sitting!
Shay was so lovely, and we were so thankful to have her taking care of our dog. She gave us daily updates and did a lot of work with our high energy dog! She also kept the house really tidy despite not being asked to clean. We were so appreciative of her and would love to work with her again.
Shay is the best and takes the best care of our sweet girl! She is very communicative and knows how to work with the crazy lab puppy energy.

Schedule
I only work part time, so I will have plenty of time for your pups! Aside from really errands and the occasional visit with a friend, most of my time is spent with the animals.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a big and fully fenced backyard for the dogs to run around, and I am happy to take them for daily walks or even to the dog park. Considering that I am a stay at home dog mom, I am almost always here to monitor the dogs and make sure everyone is safe and happy. When I do leave, I have the capabilities to kennel if your pup needs it.

A typical day
I’ve always believed that dogs need two out of three types of stimulation to really be tired out for the day, and I try to make sure that every dog gets it! For physical, I love long walks around the neighborhood, trips to the dog park, or playing fetch in the backyard. Social stimulation is easy, because everyone and everything will be new for your dog here. For longer stays, dog park trips or visiting friends are great for this. Mental stimulation is the most fun for me. I have tons of treat balls, puzzles, snuffle mats, and lick mats for dogs to try out, which is entertaining for me and them both!
